List of Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees

This is a list of inductees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame that includes players, coaches, and contributors (e.g., owners and team or league officials) who have "made outstanding contributions to professional football". The "charter" class of seventeen was selected in 1963. As of 2011, 267 individuals have been enshrined.

Enshrinees are selected by a 44-person Selection Committee which meets each year at the time and location of the Super Bowl. Current rules of the committee stipulate that between four and seven individuals are selected each year. Any person may nominate an individual to the hall, provided the nominee has not played or coached for at least five seasons prior to the nomination. Not including the charter class, 63 players have been inducted in their first year of eligibility.

In addition to the regular Selection Committee, which primarily focuses on contributions made over the past approximately thirty seasons, a nine-member Seniors Committee (which is a subset of the larger committee) submits two nominees each year whose contributions came prior to 1985. These nominees are referred as "Seniors nominees" (formerly "old-timer" nominees).

Inductees
Each entry includes the year of induction (i.e., "class"), position(s) played, team(s) each was associated with, and tenures with each team. The PFHOF website does not include CFL, USFL, or WFL teams.

Notes:

As of 2011, two current NFL teams are not represented by an enshrinee &mdash; the Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The teams which most recently gained representation are the Carolina Panthers (Reggie White, class of 2006) and the Baltimore Ravens (Rod Woodson, class of 2009). No full-time punter or referee has yet been inducted.

The Hall is not officially affiliated with the National Football League (NFL), although as of 2009 all but one enshrinee participated in the NFL for at least a portion of his career; the single exception being Billy Shaw. There are 32 inductees into the hall who spent all or part of their careers in the American Football League.. Six players or coaches who spent part of their careers in the short-lived United States Football League (USFL) have been inducted. Two coaches (Marv Levy, Bud Grant) and one player (Warren Moon) who spent part of their careers in the Canadian Football League (CFL) have been inducted.
