Based on my short tenure with the team and relatively short tenure in the league there are only a few names that really jump out to me that I could recommend. The easy answer among those though is the only player in the history of the league to win Defensive Player of the Year three times and that is linebacker Mo Berry. They were drafted by the Colorado Yeti back in 2030 and played out their entire Hall of Fame career with the team. Beyond that their last Defensive Player of the Year win coincided with the franchise's sole Ultimus win and I think that connection makes him the best choice to get a statue.
That said there is a different case that can be made that I am also going to make here as they currently play for the team and the fact that I respect their career a great deal. Option two in my eyes is defensive tackle Bubba Thumper with their two Defensive Line of the Year awards, and their one Defensive Tackle of the Year away they are similarly well decorated to Berry. They were also present for the Yeti's historic Ultimus win which I feel is important for consideration here. What gives them a case to compete with Berry though is their much longer career length, and that they are playing for the Yeti in their final season despite having played elsewhere for a portion of their career. Bubba came back to Colorado to play as a rotational pass rusher for the Yeti to end their career and for that reason I think they are the best choice to get a statue.
Now after tearing up whatever shortlist the team had and presenting these two cases it comes down to a vote of who deserves it more. Berry never played with Murder-Moose whereas Thumper is playing with Murder-Moose now, and to avoid any member of the staff being murdered Thumper wins out. Thank you for your time!
