Canton Bulldogs

The Canton Bulldogs played in Canton, Ohio in the National Football League from 1920 - 1923 and 1925 - 1926. In 1924, the owner of a team in Cleveland bought the team and "mothballed" it, while taking the team nickname and players to Cleveland for the season as the Cleveland Bulldogs. But the NFL considers the 1925-1926 Canton Bulldogs to be the same team as the 1920-1923 team.

Jim Thorpe was Canton's best player. The team won the 1922 and 1923 NFL titles. As a result of the Bulldogs early success, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in Canton. [1]
