The New Orleans Second Line franchise has had a very long history and while there have been ups and downs, we can be very proud of our history and what we have accomplished as a team. We can look back on many great seasons and many great teams and we are proud to have had some incredible people and players on our team.
Given that we have not done this before, it feels long overdue to introduce a Team Hall of Fame for the New Orleans Second Line. We do this to honor the people in our history and to highlight some of the most premier players we have been lucky enough to have had on our team. A lot of the voting was based on my top 10 articles which helped to highlight certain players. From now on, the team will vote and occasionally induct more players, as there were more deserving players that may be inducted at a later time.
Without further ado, let me present to you the original inductees for the Team Hall of Fame:
QB Borkus Maximus III - @bovovovo
One of the premier Quarterbacks in NSFL history, Borkus Maximus III was the cornerstone of the Second Line franchise for many series and lead the team to their only Championships. Borkus still has three times as many yards as the 2nd place Quarterback in the team history and stands as one of the most notable players in franchise history. You would not be able to write the history of the Second Line, or even the NSFL, without talking about him. Borkus is 2nd all time in yards and touchdowns in the entire league and was an obvious choice for the Team Hall of Fame.
RB Ardie Savea - @Ben
Ardie Savea played part of his career as a Tight End, but spent most of his career as a Running Back, where he stood out as one of the best Running Backs in team history. For now, his 6000+ rushing yards stand alone at the top of the Team rankings. He also has over 2500 receiving yards on top of it, bolstering his already impressive career for the Second Line. Ardie Savea's impact can not be overstated in the early days of the franchise, so much so that the team gives out the Team MVP award every season - the aptly named Ardie Savea trophy.
RB Darren Smallwood - @tlk742
If you are new to this league and never went back to look at earlier season's statistics you are doing yourself a disservice. Smallwood only spent four seasons on the team, which may be the lowest of anyone on this list but his impact was such that he was undeniably fitting for the Team Hall of Fame. Smallwood was a beast at finding the end-zone and did so better than any other player on NOLA ever. He still has the four best seasons in terms of rushing touchdowns, in his best season scoring an insane 27 touchdowns in one season. In his four seasons he scored 77 touchdowns, almost 20 per season on average.
WR Vladimir Fyodorovich - @majesiu
If we only picked one player for this Hall of Fame, it might have been Fyodo. Mr. New Orleans was an incredible team-mate for almost his entire career and ended up being one of the best players of all time. Starting at Cornerback and at times playing Offense, Defense and Special Team at the same time, Fyodorovich impressed in all aspects of the game, ending up with almost 600 receptions, over 10,000 yards and 53 receiving touchdowns, all team best marks. His 4 touchdown playoff performance was one of the best games anyone ever had and he was an integral part of our championship runs.
TE Paul DiMirio - @124715
DiMirio only spent part of his career on the Second Line, but what a few seasons it was. His 503 catches for the team only place him behind Fyodorovich, which helped DiMirio on his path to be #1 in career receptions of anyone in NSFL history. DiMirio was a dominant force at Tight End for his entire career and helped the Second Line tremendously. He also holds the record for most catches in a season on NOLA and had over 80 catches for the team four times.
DE Lo Rax - @Phobospwns
If you look at the dominant defenses that NOLA has had over the years, Lo Rax may not be the first name that comes to your mind. However, Lo Rax was a stand-out player at a tough position on the defensive line and has incredible career numbers for the team. He is in the top 10 in career tackles, despite playing on the line. Where he really earned his money was beyond the line though, hunting down Quarterbacks and stopping runners. His 82 career tackles for loss for the team are literally twice as many as anyone else has and he is 2nd on the team in career sacks.
LB Julian O'Sullivan - @JuOSu
Writing about my own player always feels a bit awkward, but it has to be done. On my way to being 2nd all time in tackles, I got most of them in New Orleans, placing me 4th all time on the team in tackles. I was part of the championship teams and managed to help in other ways, accumulating really good numbers in sacks, tackles for loss, interceptions and especially passes defended, where I am 2nd all time for the team.
LB Brian Mills - @PaytonM34
Another insane linebacker, Mills was a feared cornerstone of some of the best defenses in league history. Mills is 2nd in team history in tackles, a category that he was always really strong in. Where he really stood out though was turning the ball over, leading the team in forced fumbles and fumbles recovered, as well as being top 5 in interceptions. He has the 2nd best single season in tackles in team history with an incredible 134 tackle season.
S Blackford Oakes - @Beaver
Oakes was another one of the feared NOLA defenders. One of five players with 600+ tackles, he also stood out with turnovers, being both a hard hitter and a ball-hawk. Oakes also knew how to find the end-zone, scoring 5 touchdowns on defense, good for 2nd all time on the team. Oakes was someone who was really versatile, also having a top 5 sack season and being top 5 in sacks in team history as well, while also being 2nd in interceptions.
S William H Harrison - @Mongoose87
Harrison was a little later than most of the other defenders here time-wise, but he was just as dominant as the rest. His record of tackles was only broken by Quenton Bode this season, but he is still solidly in 2nd place there. Harrison was an absolute ball-hawk, ending up with 42 interceptions, by far the most on the team. He also scored the most defensive touchdowns with 7 and tied for most forced fumbles. His versatility and longevity were absolutely astounding.
And that concludes the initial Hall of Fame for the New Orleans Second Line. Congratulations to everyone and we look forward to having more reasons to induct more people. It's been an absolute joy to look at everyone and re-live some of our team's history.
For those that got inducted: We have created a new role in our discord, so I have added the role to you if you are still there. If not, feel free to pm me and I will invite you again and give you the role!
