* Philadelphia Liberty most recognizable players - 124715 - 08-21-2017
The Philadelphia Liberty, after starting the season 0-4, have finally begun to find their groove. They’re 3-1 in their last 4 games, and as a result, jersey sales have skyrocketed. Here’s a countdown of the 10 most recognizable Liberty players.
ALL STATS FOR PLAYERS ABOVE PLAYER 8 ARE AS OF WEEK 11. THE LIBERTY HAVE HAD THEIR BYE WEEK ALREADY. THIS MEANS THAT ALL LIBERTY PLAYERS ARE 1 GAME BEHIND EVERY NON-OUTLAW.
1. WR1 Fox North
North has been a complete stud on the field all year long. Leading all rookie WRs in yards by a fat margin, he’s also 4th for receiving yards among all receivers, trailing only established stars like Josh Garden, Bailey Cook, and Robert Phelps. He is responsible for one third of the Liberty’s passing touchdowns, and he is a vital part of their offense.
2. SS Lincoln Jefferson
We go from the Liberty’s anchor on offense to their anchor on defense. Despite him being a safety, he leads the whole league in INTs with seven. He’s also 3rd in tackles for safeties, with 63, and, once again, leads safeties with nine pass deflections. His change from WR last year after a devastating car accident makes him a perfect success story, and it’s no surprise his jersey is high on this list.
3. RB Omar Wright
Wright put up an agonizing 999 rushing yards with the Otters last season, so it’s no surprise that he has a top position on this list. He’s on track for another 900+ yard season, and he keeps the offense together. He belongs here.
4. WR2 Damien Kroetch
Kroetch has been an amazing story here: drafted in the 7th round, forgotten, and shunted to #2 WR on an expansion team. 11 weeks later, he’s third in the NSFL for rookie receiving yards (behind only Fox North), averages 12 yards per reception, and has taken it to the house 3 times. He’s becoming an important part of the offense, as he’s a nightmare matchup for #2 CBs.
5. ILB Perry Tucker
Tucker, who was drafted as a TE, switched to LB in a prearranged move right after the draft. He’s since been lights-out at that position, recording 61 tackles (second for rookie LBs, behind Wraiths ‘backer Kevin Cushing), 3 TFLs, 2 sacks, 2 INTs and 4 pass deflections, and a forced fumble. He is a leader in the locker room and on the field. It’s no surprise his jersey is popular.
6. TE Paul DiMirio
DiMirio started the year off slow, after sliding in the draft to the late 3rd round. However, he’s since found his groove, frequently recording 5+ receptions/game, with several longer catches thrown in. DiMirio is a leader of the offense, and his help in moving the chains nets him a high spot.
7. CB1 Tyler Oles
Oles had a rough start to the year, getting torched almost routinely, but has since justified his high draft position (12th) and shown traces of his future as a lockdown, shutdown, dominant type of corner. He’s 7th among CBs for tackles, with 45. That number is good for best among rookie CBs, above first overall selection Dermot Lavelle. He’s racked up four interceptions, which is tied with Lavelle, and has tipped seven passes.
8. DE Ottokar Von Gerhart
Von Gerhart has a lovable name and a lovable game. He’s got a smothering 7 TFLs on the year, good for seventh in the league and first among rookies. He’s also racked up 5 sacks, one of which was a safety, and has numerous pressures which make life easier on the cornerbacks behind him. A key part of the defense, it’s not a surprise that Von Gerhart has this place on the list.
9. CB2 Kristoffer O’Sullivan
O’Sullivan fell far in the draft, but has since become a key part of the Liberty’s rapidly improving secondary. With 39 tackles, he’s made an impact quickly. In addition to that respectable number, he also has 1 interception and 10 pass deflections, which can rival highly touted CB prospects Darnell Turner (15) and Dermot Lavelle (14). O’Sullivan, a solid contributor already, will soon develop into a shutdown corner, so it makes sense his jersey is high on this list.
10. FS Vikain Marmeledov
Marmeledov, one of the few established stars on the Liberty, was lights-out for the Yeti last year (62 tackles, 7th among safeties, a tackle for loss, two forced fumbles, a sack, four pass deflections, four interceptions and a defensive touchdown) and has been as good or better this year (55 tackles, a forced fumble, two sacks, five passes defensed, four interceptions and another touchdown in just 11 games) and is a key part of the Liberty’s secondary. His big-play ability makes him a favorite among fans, and it’s not surprising he’s one of the top NSFL jerseys.
11. DE Drew Davidson
Davidson and Von Gerhart go together perfectly: the fast Davidson, who beats tackles left and right by not allowing them to secure a block, and the strong Von Gerhart, who’s artisanal bull-rush wreaks constant havoc on the backfield. He’s not asked to stop running plays much, so his tackle total falls at a respectable 24. However, he has a dominant 6 TFLs: 7th in the league and 2nd among rookie defensive ends: only behind his teammate Ottokar Von Gerhart, who has seven. His TFL number is tied with second overall pick Blaster Blade, who got far more attention from the media. He has an unimpressive three sacks, but the pressuring work he gets in on QBs makes it unsurprising he’s on the list.
12. QB Jameis Christ
Christ is surprisingly far down for a quarterback, who usually lead jersey sales by a fair margin. Christ has been unimpressive on the field, and unimpressive off the field. His training regimen does not include team practices, and his locker room presence isn’t the leadership role you’d expect of the quarterback. His 70.5 passer rating is unimpressive, and it comes in as an unimpressive 6th out of 8 starters. His unimpressive 53.5% completion percentage is an unimpressive 7th among starters, and his unimpressive 10 touchdowns are last in the league among starters. His one upside? He’s kept the passing game clean, with only 8 interceptions, good for first among all primary QBs. For context, the next lowest is 12, held by King Bronko. He’s still delivered big plays at times, including a 46-yard pass to Fox North, so it’s barely surprising he sneaks into this list.
13. OLB Donovan Maric
Maric has been quite good on the field, especially considering a lackluster training regimen. He’s got 67 tackles to his name, which is fourth among rookie LBs. His unimpressive one TFL is compounded with 4 interceptions and 2 passes defensed, showing great prowess on the inside, and 5 sacks and a forced fumble, showing skill on the outside. He is an underrated part of the Liberty’s fledgling defense, and he’s also a popular jersey choice.
14. K/P Stephen Harris Harris, despite playing kicker, makes it on to this list. I don’t know why. It’s not that he isn’t good, but I don’t think I’d walk around in public wearing a kicker’s jersey.
15. ILB Luke Washington
Washington has an impressive 69 tackles, and adds to his resume with 6 sacks and 2 passes defensed. He’s a force to be reckoned with on the inside of Philadelphia’s LB corps.
Hope you enjoyed! Might be able to make this a series.
