(S21) - PT2 - Hall of Fame

[benstackinpaper]

Linebacker Brian Mills should be a member of the NSFL Hall of Fame. The former North Carolina Tar heel grew up idolizing Brian Urlacher and become one of the greatest to ever play. His hard work and the chip on his should from not being recruited out of high school led to Mills being the first overall selection in the S21 NSFL Draft to the New Orleans Second Line. In 2024 Mills was the defensive captain on a team that would win the Ultimus Championship. That year he finished with ninety-three tackles, six sacks and four interceptions. When you pair being the first overall pick in the draft with being the best defensive player on a championship team and add that great all-time career numbers, you have a hall of fame talent. Brian Mills finished his career with a reputation as one of the hardest hitting players in the league. This was evident by his fifth-teen career forced fumbles (fourth all time) and his big play ability in his nine career fumble recovers (sixth all time). Both of these numbers are greater than what current Hall of Fame linebackers Jaylon Lee and Johnathon Saint were able to accomplish in their careers. Brian Mills has the backstory, championship and the numbers to be a member of the NSFL Hall of Fame.

OH BOY

Shane Weston. Retired a while back after the conclusion of S12 (in sim that was 2029). Received 1 vote for the Hall of Fame.

Retired with: 10,823 receiving yards (still 9th all-time, ahead of Carlito Crush who was just inducted, was roughly 5th at the time of retirement, around there at the time of eligibility for HoF). 50 TDs, which was either just in, or somewhere just shy of the top 10 at retirement. 668 catches, 16.4 YPC over 154 games, all with the San Jose Sabercats. Now, you might say, that's good but not spectacular.

Let me also remind you, that Weston was one of the all-time best returners. Retired #1 in KR yards, and was the 1st player to cross 10,000 total return yards. To this day is still 4th all time in both KR yards & PR yards. Lavelle stands as the only player with more total return yards (and he played 2 seasons longer).

10,847 return yards, 7 return TDs (5 punt, which still stands as 5th best), 16.4 average on 662 returns. 103 yard kick return, which at the time had set the record.

NOBODY else stands with 10,000 offensive yards & 10,000 return yards. 3 pro bowls as a WR, and 1 as a returner (there was no returner spot until S7). Would have won returner of the year awards, but that didn't exist until S9, very late in Weston's career.

[Oles]

For me, there’s only one person to bring up for a talk about hall of fame. Kazimir Oles is certainly very deserving of being inducted into the hall of fame when the time comes for him to be on the ballot. Kazimir Oles was a receiver that defined a generation, ushering in the next era of star wide receivers after guys like Josh Garden and Bradley Westfield retired. Kazimir Oles was always a top 3 receiver in the league, always at the top of the charts for many seasons. Not many teams would take wide receivers back to back drafts, especially the top one on the board each time, but San Jose did exactly that with Xavier Flash and Kazimir Oles, but Oles quickly became the one who took over the lead wide receiver spot. No matter what, whether it was a run heavy team, a young QB, or a combination of the two, Kazimir Oles was always at the top of the league, and one of his seasons he even won wide receiver of the year. Multiple pro bowls, a wide receiver of the year award, and an Ultimus title are just a few of the many reasons why Kazimir is deserving of being in the hall of fame when his time comes. (214 words)

Oh man if we're talking about future Hall of Famer a I have to bring up my dude Marquise Brown. I was very fortunate to have been teammates with him in Philadelphia and he has a real passion for the game but his career accolades on the field speak for themselves. The career leader in rushing yards, multiple running back of the year awards and of course an MVP as well. Not to mention the single season rushing record of 1902 yards. There have been a lot of great running backs in NSFL history and many that have come into the league that has found ways to implement multiple skillsets. But Brown truly represents the apex of the position with the way he dominated statistically and loaded up his trophy cabinet. There are really only two things you could hold against Brown. One is that he could sometimes be a firey and controversial figure. But as we've seen in the NFL as well even guys like that eventually get in. The other is his lack of postseason success compared to other Hall of Famers. But his domination at the position certainly outweighs that. And you don't leave Barry Sanders out of the Hall just cause the Lions suck right? Start getting that gold jacket fitted my man.

There are a ton of retired players each year, and only a select few stand a fighting chance at the Hall of Fame. But one currently retired player is such a lock for the Hall that I would shocked if he failed to get in on a unanimous first ballot, and that is the legendary Baltimore Hawks tight end Verso L’Alto. Mr. L’Alto, apart from being a consistent TE1 in fantasy football, holds a legitimate argument as the greatest tight end to ever play. Right off the bat, L’Alto was a consistently dominant starter for the Hawks, garnering a Pro Bowl selection for eight straight years of his career, S8 to S15. He won Offensive Rookie of the Year in S7 and Tight End of the Year four times, in S11-12 and S14-15. L’Alto has two Ultimus rings to his name, as well as five more Ultimus trips, as a cornerstone of the Baltimore Hawks dynasty of the early 10s, and his impact on the team is evident by his membership in the vaunted Baltimore Hawks Wing of Honor. He is second all time in catches, behind only the Hall of Famer Paul DiMirio, with nearly a thousand catches over his career. Coupled with the enormous influence nunc has had on the league, L’Alto is an absolute shoe in for the ballot.
