(S21) - PT2 - Hall of Fame

[Matty7478]

As of writing this PT, there is only one full-time Defensive End enshrined in the Hall of Fame; Fuego Wozy, the 8-time Pro Bowler who revolutionised the position and was very important for each of the four teams he played for. Obviously, he ended his career with the New Orleans Second Line. And the person I have chosen to discuss in this post that was specifically drafted to replace the retired Wozy as a long-term option at defensive end. That player... is Lo Rax. After playing a season with the best team in the DSFL, the Kansas City Coyotes, Lo Rax was drafted 8th overall (1st round) by NOLA - who of course had won the Ultimini the season before. In his rookie season - even whilst sharing time with veterans like Jayce Tuck and Juan Andres who have been on the Hall of Fame ballot before - managed the most tackles by a DE with 77 and 5 sacks, the 4th most for a rookie that year. Over the next 3 seasons, Lo Rax would achieve 3 Pro Bowl selections, whilst also helping NOLA to their second and last Ultimini title in Season 11. After retiring recently, Lo Rax would end up with the 4th most tackles for loss in NSFL history - behind Wozy, Tuck and Drew Davidson - and would amass 4 Pro Bowl appearances which stands at the 4th most amassed at the DE position - behind Wozy, Tuck and 2 position Hall of Famer Kurt Hendrix. In the 10 seasons Lo Rax played, he earned a reputation as a solid run-stopping DE that you would hate to face when he was at his best. And while getting in the Hall may be a tough task for a DE-only legend - as can be seen by only Wozy having achieved it to this point - Lo Rax has a least earned a chance at being in the conversation.
