They say that being in the Hall of Fame means you're part of "pro football's greatest team." Of course, many of these all-time greats were teammates when they played. Did you know, for instance, that Richard Dent and Deion Sanders were teammates when they won a Super Bowl with the 49ers during the 1994 season? Dent also played with Marshall Faulk during a short stint with the Colts. Some Hall of Fame teammates are more obvious than that. Here are a few that formed a bond in their playing days that has lasted well beyond their inductions. Bart Starr and Forrest GreggStarr and Gregg joined the Packers as rookies in 1956 and played together until 1970 when the offensive lineman retired in 1970 (Starr retired after the following season). The duo went on to win five championships with the Packers, including the first two Super Bowls, for which Starr was selected as the game's most valuable player in both contests. The two even became head coaches for the Packers, with Gregg replacing Starr after the 1983 season. Both were enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977.LikeNational Football League/Associated Press Jack Lambert and Franco HarrisLambert was once told that he was too small to play in the NFL but went on to become one of the game's most intimidating linebackers. Some thought that choosing Harris over Lydell Mitchell was a mistake, but Harris went on to have one of the most prolific careers for a running back in NFL history. Together they would be a part of a Steelers dynasty that won four Super Bowls during the 1970s. The duo went into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990.LikeNational Football League Jackie Slater and Jack YoungbloodSlater started his career with the Rams in 1976 and would play 20 seasons for the organization, spanning four stadiums and three cities. Slater was a teammate of Youngblood early in his career, and both played in Super Bowl XIV, as the Rams were foiled in their upset bid of the famed Steelers. Youngblood famously played that game with a broken leg. Both were added to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2001, a quick turnaround for Slater, but a somewhat long wait for Youngblood.LikeAssociated Press/National Football League Darrell Green and Art MonkGreen and Monk are two of the most beloved players in Redskins history, and for good reason, helping the Redskins win three Super Bowl titles during the 1980s and early 1990s. Green was one of the fastest players in NFL history, an intimidating cornerback. Monk was one of the most consistent receivers in NFL history. Both were enshrined into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2009.LikeNational Football League/Associated Press Bobby Mitchell and Sonny JurgensenVince Lombardi once said that Jergensen was the best quarterback in NFL history. Jurgensen excelled in an era that favored defenses prior to the 1978 rules changes, leading the NFL in passing five times. Mitchell was an outstanding player for the Browns in his early days, but he flourished when teamed with Jurgensen in 1962. Mitchell set a career best with 1,384 receiving yards in 1962, and topped it with 1,436 receiving yards in 1963.
