(S21) - PT2 - Hall of Fame

[Memento Mori]

Marquise Brown deserves to be in the NSFL Hall of Fame. There is only one player in the Hall of Fame who played their entire career at running back, Meg Mackworthy. Mackworthy retired as the career rushing yards and rushing touchdowns leader, leading to his induction into the NSFL Hall of Fame. Marquise Brown entered the league in Season 8 and surpassed Mackworthy's numbers, with Brown going on to retire as the career rushing yards and career yards from scrimmage leader. Brown also held 3rd all-time in rushing touchdowns with 104, 3rd all-time in total touchdowns with 125 and finished his career with 2897 rushing attempts, good enough for 2nd all-time. He finished Season 10 with 1902 rushing yards, breaking the record for most rushing yards in a single season.

Brown was decorated with awards throughout his career, the most notable being a co-NSFL MVP award in Season 13 (the vote was tied with the award split among three players). He was named NSFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in Season 10, and NSFL Running Back of the Year in Seasons 12, 13, 14 and 15. He would also be selected to the Pro Bowl an astonishing seven times, each season from Season 10 to Season 16.

Marquise Brown played the majority of his nine NSFL seasons for the Philadelphia Liberty, who currently only have one Hall of Fame inductee. Philadelphia fans would certainly make the case that the Liberty is underrepresented in the Hall of Fame, and Marquise Brown was consistently the best, or one of the best, running back(s) in the NSFL. Marquise Brown's career boasts high peaks (being named co-NSFL MVP) and longevity (breaking career records), making his Hall of Fame case very strong.
