It's a surprising team that leads the pack in most nominees for this year's Hall of Fame Nominees. It's the Houston Texans. The Texans currently have five players that have played for them at one point or another in their potential Hall of Fame careers.
Those names include Vince Wilfork, Tony Boselli, Eddie George, Andre Johnson, and Steve Tasker. Steve Tasker didn't necessarily play for the Texans, but he did play for the Houston Oilers, who then became the Houston Texans. Either way, the Texans have a good number of players represented in the 2022 Hall of Fame.
Four teams are in a four-way tie with four players represented by their teams. The New England Patriots, the Baltimore Ravens, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Dallas Cowboys all have four players nominated for the Hall of Fame 2022 class.
The Patriots' Hall of Fame nominees include Vince Wilfork, Torry Holt, Richard Seymour and Fred Taylor.
The Ravens' Hall of Fame nominees include Willie Anderson, Anquan Boldin, Devin Hester and Steve Smith Sr.

The 2022 Hall of Fame class is deep with legendary players who are all deserving of their gold jackets and to forever be enshrined. Whatever the case may be, this should be the year that Zach Thomas finally gets in.
