Living Members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, as of February 6, 2016

Of the 8 new electees to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, 6 are still alive: Kevin Greene, Brett Favre, Orlando Pace, Tony Dungy, Marvin Harrison and Eddie DeBartolo.

Here are the living HOFers, by team. Inductees are listed here with a team if they played, or coached, or were an executive, with them for at least 4 seasons. I have divided moved teams accordingly.
Tenure as a player, or a coach, or an executive is only counted if they were elected as such. 

Ties in the rankings are broken by more players, as opposed to other categories; and then by time in the league. So a team with 4 players is ahead of one with 3 players and 1 coach, and a team with 3 players in 50 years is ahead of one with 3 players in 80 years.

Figures are listed here as follows: Players in chronological order of their Hall of Fame service with the team (even if they had other functions with that team), then coaches, then executives, then broadcasters.
