Drafts that saw a team select multiple players who became Hall of Famers

Drew Brees one day will join LaDainian Tomlinson in Canton. What other teams drafted multiple players in one year who went on to the HOF?

The Chicago Bears chose Dick Butkus and Gale Sayers, back-to-back no less, in the 1965 NFL Draft and wound up with a pair of Hall of Famers. The Chargers chose LaDainian Tomlinson and Drew Brees in the 2001 draft. When the Saints’ QB is done, he will surely join LT in Canton. Here are some of the teams fortunate to choose multiple players in one draft since 1960 that went on to Hall-of-Fame careers.
