NFL history: The Mount Rushmore of every NFL franchise

Every NFL team has had their share of great players, but which ones are the best for each franchise? That question is answered, as every team’s Mount Rushmore is revealed.

One of the more debatable discussions among sports fans in recent years has become the idea of making a ‘Mount Rushmore’ for one’s respective franchise. The idea is pretty simple and can be summed up with the following question: If you were to carve a Mount Rushmore for your favorite team, which four heads would make the cut?

It sounds simple on the surface, but it really isn’t. Narrowing the most important figures of all-time to four players, coaches or executives for an NFL team is a rather tough task — and it becomes even harder the more storied a franchise is.

That’s where the debate comes in, as it’s impossible to list the four most influential figures on any team without leaving someone incredibly deserving off the list. Of course, that doesn’t stop us from trying to accomplish that nearly impossible task.

Here, we dig into all 32 teams ahead of the 2019 NFL season and pick the four figures who helped shape them more than any other. It could be any member of the team from a player, to a coach, or the owner — the only qualifying factor is they have to be someone who comes to mind when thinking about a team and their history.

And with all that being said, we being the 32-team ‘Mount Rushmore’ with the Arizona Cardinals.
