When it comes to the Top 50, it's pretty safe to say that SaberCats receiver Bailey Cook is a lock to be on the list. That is why I'm going to talk about someone who I think gets less recognition, but is just as deserving.
That player is SaberCats linebacker A.C. Hackett.
Hackett has a rather quiet presence around the boards, but he makes his presence known on the field. He had 93 tackles, which was good enough to be seventh in the league and 6 sacks in the NSFL's inaugural season.
His tackling ability is the skill he prides himself most on, but that is not to say that other areas are lacking. His speed is another skill that Hackett can hang his hat on, and he looks to continue to increase all his abilities by putting in his due dilligence in the weight room and training facilities.
Alexander Selich is most talked about because of his original talent, but if Hackett's dedication continues to beat out that of his counterpart, he will surely be THE linebacker in San Jose and an easy shoe-in for the Top 50 this year and maybe for the rest of his career, which is hopefully a long one.
