(S21) - PT2 - Hall of Fame

[MN_Moosey]

With the recent inductees announced, it is time to shed some light on some other players well deserving of a place in the hall. One such player that I feel should make their way at least onto the ballot is one Chad Pennington. Starting play in season 8, Pennington had a full NSFL career of 10 years. He played for two teams in his career with the bulk coming with the San Jose Sabercats. In his time he amassed three pro bowl selections, a defensive player of the year awards in season 11, and two ultimus trophies, one with each team he played for in Yellowknife and San Jose. Pennington was a very well-rounded player throughout his career and is currently sitting 6th all time in tackles. A quick look at his career statistics shows how much of a balanced player he was.

In 138 career NSFL games he had:
1040 tackles, 15 for a loss
50 sacks
7 interceptions
9 forced fumbles and 4 fumble recoveries
66 pass deflections

Though the stats are not crazy by any means for a linebacker, they are sure impactful. He made a name for himself on the field and should cement himself as a hall of famer in the future. The decision is not mine but a career like his should be up for consideration in the future.
