Brian Mills was a linebacker in the NSFL who was on the list of the S19 Hall of Fame inductees. He only got 6/15 votes, due to a crowded class and some bias. Mills was a cornerstone for the NOLA defense early on and he helped them win the 9th Ultimus in NSFL history. He was a freak athelete, running a 4.39 40 yard dash despite 6' 3" and 240 pounds.
Here are his stats in the NSFL.
Total tackles: 403
Pass deflections: 49
Interceptions: 8
Forced fumbles: 5
Fumble recoveries: 5
Sacks: 30
Defensive touchdowns: 1
He was as excellent of a pass rusher as he was a coverage linebacker. He was a field general and commandeered the field back in his time. He racked up amazing stats despite not playing for that long. Yet he only garnered 6 votes? Maybe the people voting had some biases towards the more active members in the S19 Hall of Fame class. How does someone like Micycle McCormick get in despite being an average quarterback. Sure, he was a good kicker for some seasons, but then he switched to QB and had an average career. He threw 16 more interceptions than games he played in! That's a terrible TD:INT ratio. He posted a career average of 83.1 QBR, never going over 86.7 QBR in a season. His highest completion percentage in a season was 61.6%. Why are we rewarding average QB play over someone with the skills as Mills?? He deserves to get in next year and I hope there won't be any bias...
