There are 17 Cleveland Browns players inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In August, that number goes to 18 as offensive tackle Joe Thomas becomes part of the 2023 HOF class. Cleveland now has the eighth most players of any franchise inducted into the Hall.
Thomas is a first-ballot inductee, which does not happen often and is usually reserved for the best of the best. His induction will occur on August 5 at best of the best at Tom Benson Stadium in Canton, Ohio.
