I was going to go with the first three plus Willie Lanier thinking that Bell only beat him into the Hall of Fame because he retired first, but after looking them up on profootballreference.com, it turns out that Bell was 1st team All Pro 6 times (with 9 Pro Bowls) and Lanier only made it 3 times (with 8 Pro Bowls). So I'll go with Hunt, Stram, Dawson, and Bell also.
FWIW, here are the guys who made 1st team All Pro the most times:
6 - Bobby Bell, Johnny Robinson, Jim Tyrer
5 - Tony Gonzales
4 - Buck Buchanan
3 - Fred Arbanas, Derron Cherry, Sherrill Headrick, Priest Holmes, Willie Lanier
2 - Ed Budde, Len Dawson, Abner Haynes, EJ Holub, Albert Lewis, Nick Lowery, Jerry Mays, Will Shields, Otis Taylor, Derrick Thomas, Brian Waters
