During Drew Brees’ induction, they mentioned that he was the 5th Purdue Boilermaker to be enshrined in Canton.

Can you name the 6 former LSU Tigers in the NFL Hall of Fame without looking? I could only name 3 without looking.

Funny story. My cousins deceased husband was a big time collector of Green Bay Packer memorabilia. He was a big guy, 6'4, 275 and wasn't fat. Anyway he heard about a Packer reunion at a golf course in Wisconsin and decided to show up pretending to be an ex player. He gets right in. The one signature he didn't have that he really wanted was Jimmy Taylor's autograph. He strikes up a conversation with Jimmy and finally admits he wasn't a former teammate. Jimmy was impressed he pulled it off though and signed a football for him. No idea what my cousin did with all his memorabilia. He had lots of baseball stuff from the boston red sox. Stuff that should be in a museum.

Nice work! The 6th (or rather, 1st) was Steve Van Buren.

Probably Peterson, maybe Mathieu, but definitely Andrew Whitworth, IMO.

Jim Taylor, Alan Faneca, Kevin Mawae, Yelverton Tittle, Johnny Robinson, Steve Van Buren. What do I win?

There are several others who belong there like Moonie Winston, Kevin Faulk, Dan Alexander, Dalton Hilliard, and A.J. Duhe.

I'm late to the party, but trying to do this without reading the thread.

YA Tittle
Steve Van Buren
Alan Faneca
Kevin Mawae
.....????

Eric Andolsek???
Jerry Stovall???

I want to say there is another QB in the HOF, but if so that would have to be Bert Jones?

Edit: damn. Can't believe I forgot Jimmy Taylor.

I'd have been wrong, because I would have guessed Doc Fenton.

Turns out he was before there was any pro football. He did make the college HOF.
