    The 3 Duke members of the NFL HOF happened to have all been great multi-sport athletes.

    As was pointed out, the prep Jurgenson was a nationally ranked tennis player, an all state bball player, starting catcher, and presumably also played some football. Sonny Parker played MLB, pro football, and Duke basketball.

    And in 1939, George McAfee batted .353 for the Duke baseball team, won the Southern Conference sprint championship (100 yard dash, 9.7 seconds), and was a consensus football All American while leading the Blue Devils in rushing, receiving, scoring, kickoff returns, punt returns, interceptions, and punting. He then played on 2 Bears NFL championship teams. Right after his All Pro 2nd season in 1941, McAfee joined the Navy (Ace Parker also served for 2 years during WWII). McAfee returned to the Bears midway through the 1945 season, eventually setting the NFL record for career punt return average (broken in 2007 by Devin Hester).
