<p>Which teams have had Hall of Fame "Triplets".  This generally means a QB, RB, and WR.   Here are teams in history that have had that:</p>

<p>40s/50s Browns:   Otto Graham, Marion Motley, Dante Lavelli</p>

<p>The 70s Steelers:  Bradshaw, Franco Harris, plus Swann and Stallwort (quads!)</p>

<p>70s Dolphins:  Griese, Csonka, Warfield</p>

<p>50s Rams:   Waterfield or Van Brocklin, Tom Fears, Elroy Hirsch</p>

<p>90s Cowboys:   Aikman, Irvin, Smith</p>

<p>90s Bills:   Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed</p>

<p>50s/60s Colts.....had an actual Quad: QB/RB/WR/TE:  Unitas, Lenny Moore, Ray Berry, John Mackey</p>


<p>Here are some Non-tradition Triplets:</p>

<p>60s Packers:  QB and 2 RBs:  Starr/Hornung/Taylor</p>

<p>80s Chargers:  QB/WR/TE:   Fouts, Joiner, Winslow</p>

<p>Any others that I missed?</p>

<p>Here are some future possible Triplet HOFers:</p>

<p>90s/00s Rams:   Marshall Faulk...in, Kurt Warner...likely in.  Isaac Bruce...possible</p>

<p>80s 49ers:  Joe Montana...in,  Jerry Rice....in, Roger Craig....possible</p>

<p>00s Colts:  Peyton Manning...certain to get in.  Marvin Harrison...probable.  Edgerrin James...possible?</p>

<p>00s Steelers:  BR, Jerome Bettis, Hines Ward?</p>

<p>Any other possibles you can think of?</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/topic/37617/triplets</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 01 Oct 2026 11:45:54 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://brownsboard.com/topic/37617.rss" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jul 2015 21:19:07 GMT</pubDate><ttl>60</ttl><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Triplets on Sat, 01 Aug 2015 21:54:45 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>If we add Offensive Linemen into the mix we get a few more Triplet combinations....but also a lot of adds on the the Triplets we already mentioned:</p>

<p>Add Frank Gatski and Lou Groza to Graham/Lavelli/Motley</p>

<p>Add Jim Ringo and Forrest Gregg to Starr/Hornung/Taylor</p>

<p>Add Jim Langer and Larry Little to  Griese/Csonka/Warfield</p>

<p>Add Jim Parker to Unitas/Berry/Moore/Mackey</p>

<p>Add Mike Webster to Bradshaw/Harris/Swann/Stallworth</p>

<p>And here are a few other....non-traditional Triplets:</p>

<p>Jim Brown/Paul Warfield/Gene Hickerson for Browns</p>
<p>And before Warfield came on you had JB/Hickerson and Bobby Mitchell.</p>

<p>Warren Moon/Mike Munchak/Bruce Matthew for Oilers</p>

<p>Roger Staubach/Bob Hayes/Rayfield Wright for Cowboys</p>

<p>Fran Tarkenton/Ron Yary/Mick Tinglehoff for Vikings</p>

<p>YA Tittle/Frank Gifford/Roosevelt Brown for Giants</p>

<p>John Elway/Shannon  Sharpe/Gary Zimmerman</p>

<p>One we missed from before:  60s Redskins (between 64-68):  Sonny Jurgenson/Charley Taylor/Bobby Mitchell</p>

<p>And figure this one:  A triplett OL all of its own:  Jim Otto/Gene Upshaw/Art Shell for Raiders/plus Caspar and Biletnikoff...and Blanda at backup QB/K</p>

<p>Or, how about this one:   Joe Montana, Steve Young, Jerry Rice all on same offense.</p>

<p>I will let you all come up with defensive triplets.</p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/519631</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/519631</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Gipper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 01 Aug 2015 21:54:45 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Triplets on Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:30:57 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Stuart <a href="/post/519521">said</a>:</p><div>

<p><span style="color:#800000">Well, we were talking specifically about offensive skill players......but sure, we can include any team that had 3 HOFers on offense...including OL....and three on defense.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000">But your three won't work as Andy Russell is not HOF.    Substitute Mel Blount and  Joe Greene and you got a Quad.</span></p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/519620</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/519620</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Gipper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:30:57 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Triplets on Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:26:17 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Zombo <a href="/post/519486">said</a>:</p><div>

<p><span style="color:#800000">I was thinking that Rice and Owens didn't play together...but no, upon checking I see they did play several years together....so good one.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#800000">And I don't think Bruce should wait long at all.  He is 8th all time in catches, 4th all time in yards, 11th in TD catches.  His problem is competition....while he is worthy so aren't Harrison and T.O.  who are both also eligible...or about to be. </span></p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/519618</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/519618</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[The Gipper]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 01 Aug 2015 20:26:17 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Triplets on Sat, 01 Aug 2015 03:27:04 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p>Steelers have another one brewing. </p>]]></description><link>https://brownsboard.com/post/519557</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://brownsboard.com/post/519557</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[wargograw]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 01 Aug 2015 03:27:04 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to Triplets on Sat, 01 Aug 2015 01:02:17 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><a class="plugin-mentions-user plugin-mentions-a" href="/user/the-gipper" aria-label="Profile: the-gipper">@<bdi>the-gipper</bdi></a> <a href="/post/519481">said</a>:</p>
