Originally founded as the Cleveland Rams back in 1936, this franchise has been around close to a century now.

Having moved from Cleveland, to Los Angeles, to St. Louis and now back to Los Angeles, these Rams have called multiple cities "home," but one thing has remained no matter where they've been located: the Rams are a winning franchise.

Winning championships both in Cleveland (1945) and Los Angeles (1951, 1999, 2021) and appearing in the Super Bowl twice while in St. Louis (1980 and 2002), the Rams have found themselves on the big stage several times.

Out of those Super Bowl appearances and wins is where the Rams saw many of their future Hall of Famers shine. Who, of the Rams franchise, has made the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Let's take a gander back in time.
