My pick for the Hall of Fame is Antoine Delacour @37thchamber. I know I’m only required to list one stat, but for a talent like this, I’ll list two.
Number of position changes: Zero. Cornerback sucked for the first 6 seasons of Delacour’s career. Not only was everything that should have mattered about the position’s performance completely meaningless (even speed rarely seemed to matter), but the worst part was that the most important stats for cornerbacks, like catches, yards, and touchdowns allowed, weren’t even tracked (except for half of season 4).
Number of times left team to chase rings or due to locker room cancer: Zero. Not once, through out his entire career, did Delacour leave his original team of Baltimore. To be fair, it was the perfect team to be on. Their GM disappeared in the first season as they went on to tie for worst team in the league, they had TWO TPE scandals the next season, which still didn’t get them a ring, something that has yet to happen. In addition, he had the honor of being on the first team to be the target of basically a bullying campaign.
In short, Delacour has shown tremendous loyalty and consistency despite being on the shit end of team and position. Between that and being one of the better players in the league, Delacour is the least arguable Hall of Fame nominee.
