PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME:
USFL INDUCTEES
Beginning only 12 years after the USFL first kicked off in 1983, the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio began inducting an annual class of the best of the USFL. Each year 5 players who retired between 5-10 years earlier are elected to join the hall, joined by a 6th player from at least 20 years prior as a Legacy Entrant. This cohort joins the NFL inductees to define the best to play the game from the 1980's until today.
After completing 40 seasons for the Alt-History of the USFL, the project is wrapping up, so we have modified this page to reflect the USFL Hall of Famers representing each of the teams franchises, with the year of induction noted for each player. Players whose careers spanned more than one team will be listed with each of their teams. An "L" indicator next to the year indicates they were a legacy selection, added after the standard 5-year eligibility window. As 2020 expansion teams, San Antonio and New England will not be listed here.
