As a teenager growing up in Brooklyn New York, Avon Blocksdale was a huge Jets fan. He remembers the 2006 NFL draft really well, as the Jets the fourth overall pick. Avon remembers sitting there hoping they would take New York Native D'Brickashaw Ferguson with the pick. Avon was not disappointed as the Jets, shockingly, made the correct choice. Ferguson was a success for the Jets and Avon was a huge fan. There are not many big offensive lineman coming from New York, and to have someone like D-Brick was huge for Avon. Ferguson wound up starting at left tackle on all 160 games of his ten year career, making him the most durable offensive lineman in NFL history. Ferguson was a three time Pro Bowler in the league, making it all three years from 09-11. Of all of these stats, the most impressive about Ferguson is clearly the amount of plays he had. Of ten thousand seven hundred and eight possible plays Ferguson played in an insane ten thousand seven hundred and seven! He missed on hail mary multi lateral attempt play to end a game and that is it. Avon strives for that longevity and fortunately in the NSFL he will not have to worry about that, given the amazing powers of TPE and the fact that NO PLAYER IN NSFL HISTORY has missed a game due to injury.
