Can CFL players make it in the pro football fall of fame in canton ohio if they never played in the NFL?

Question

Examples if you know any would be nice

Answer 1

No! Sorry!

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

No.  The Hall of Fame in Canton, OH is strictly for NFL players.  Of course, there are players in the Hall who have played for both the CFL and NFL.

Answer 4

Currently, all of the inductees of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but one, have played in, or have been associated with, the NFL at some point in their careers. (the exception was a player who was part of the American Football League before the merger).

Technically, there is no rule saying you must play professional football in the States to get into that hall. So if someone plays outstanding in a league other than the NFL, it may warrant induction.

Answer 5

I heard a suggestion that Doug Flutie may be considered. IF he gets in you'd got to figure that it would be based on his achievements in Canada because his NFL career wouldn't warrant admission to Canton.

I'd be shocked if Doug got in, to my knowledge it's never happened in the past.

Answer 6

No.  They should change the name from the Pro Football Hall of Fame to the NFL Hall of Fame.

Answer 7

Nope.... Canada sucks.

Answer 8

no, because there'd be more CFL'ers in there then nfl'ers.

Damon Allen hands down should be inducted.

Answer 9

No, it's actually misnamed as it is just the "American" pro football HOF covering the NFL, AFL and AAFC. The CFL has its own HOF in Hamilton.
