The NFL is officially back on TV Thursday night with the annual Hall of Fame Game kicking off the 2018 preseason.
The game is played in celebration of Enshrinement Weekend at the Pro Football of Hame in Canton, Ohio. In anticipation of Saturday’s enshrinement for the class of 2018, the Hall’s official Twitter account shared a graphic showing which colleges have produced the most Hall of Famers.
The graphic features one SEC school, Alabama. While many SEC schools have produced at least one Hall of Famer, no other SEC schools can boast of producing eight. The graphic shows schools that have produced six or more Hall of Famers.
