Oh, I did remember that Dawson was #16, took me a minute to retract that. So who is the other number #12..oh, Kelly! Good catch...haha..you would.
So I finally decided to look this up. I thought the stat was for SBs in the HoF, wore # 12, AND made 22 SB starts. The stat was two separate lines:

1) Players in the HoF that wore # 12 = 7
Bradshaw - 4 SBs
Griese - 3 SBs
Kelly - 4 SBs
Namath - 1 SB
Staubach - 4 SBs
Total SB starts: 16

Other two HoFers wearing # 12: Arnie Herber, William Roy Lyman

2) SB starting QBs that wore # 12 = 22 (actually 25)
see above for 16 SB starts
Aaron Rodgers - 1 SB
Tom Brady - 4 SBs
Kenny Stabler - 1 SB
Stan Humphries - 1 SB (wore # 12 w/Chargers)
Chris Chandler - 1 SB
Rich Gannon - 1 SB

Notes:
Numbers 16, 22 & 44 are pretty good in HoF also.

Trent Dilfer wore #8 when he started the SB for the Ravens
