The problem with running a Hall of Fame-related website is that many of the big ones we cover all have announcements within months of each other.  The backbone of what we do is list-related, resulting in a long push to revise what we already have, specifically now with our Football and Basketball Lists.

At present, we have a minor update as we have completed the next twenty-five of the 2024 Football List, which you can comment on and vote on:

The new 276 to 300:

276. Keith Millard
277. Derrick Johnson
278. Stanley Morgan
279. Leon Gray
280. David Akers
281. Buster Ramsey
282. Beattie Feathers

Thank you all for your patience. We will soon unveil more changes to the football and basketball lists.

Hanford Dixon played all nine of his NFL years with the Cleveland Browns, whereby in the second half of the 1980s, he was one of the best shutdown Cornerbacks in football.

From Southern Miss, Dixon was the 22^nd Overall Pick in 1981, and the Cornerback won the starting job on the right side. The Browns were not a good team in the first half of the 1980s but improved in the latter half, along with Dixon, who became one of the best cover men of the game.

In 1986, Dixon had a two-year run of First Team All-Pros, where he elevated Cleveland to one of the elite Defensive Backs in football.  Dixon, who was also a Pro Bowl in 1988, helped Cleveland make the playoffs four years in a row (1986-89) and was one of the most under-appreciated defensive players of.the 1980s.

A 1981 First Round Pick from Southern Mississippi, Hanford Dixon played nine seasons in the National Football League, all with the Cleveland Browns.

Playing at Cornerback, Dixon started 128 of his 131 Games on the right side, and he would come into his own in the last half of the decade.  Dixon went to three consecutive Pro Bowls (1986-88), with the first two achieving First Team All-Pro status.  

Dixon secured 26 Interceptions over his career and is credited with naming the Browns' defense the "Dawg Pound," which took a life of its own.  The Browns named Dixon to the list of Legends in 2003.
