Quote:Written Option: The Hall of Fame S19 Class has just been released, inducting five new legendary players into the Hall. In 200 words or more, make the case for a currently retired player to be inducted in a future class. Why do they deserve a slot over other contenders? Don’t be afraid to put some research into it if you are unfamiliar with older players.
When we look at the history of Tight End, in the early days we saw a huge dominance by tight end Paul DiMirio. He is the only Tight End currently in the Hall of Fame, in part due to his absolute dominance at the tight end position and being the only standout player at that position for a long time.
Now the second name that would come to mind if you think about Tight End is the player Verso L'Alto. Verso played 12 seasons for the Baltimore Hawks and had a little venture in Colorado for a season.
The leader in Tight End of the Year is DiMirio with 7, but behind is with 4 is Verso L'Alto, showing that he has shown dominance in the Tight End position during his time in the league.
Just having a quick look at L'Alto's stats and you can see why he should be in the Hall. He has scored a ton of touchdowns while also racking up a ton of yardage. Probably the highest among Tight Ends and probably even only behind DiMirio in those stats.
So if I dont see Verso joining the Hall soon than I will be devestated and hope the league rethinks their HOF policies.
