I see a lot of offensive players in other members' PTs, but as a defender myself, I'm inclined to look at the players on the other side of the ball. Being super new here, I headed straight to the record books to take a look and see what I could find. One name I saw coming up in many of the biggest defensive stats? Harriff Ernston. The guy is 5th all time in tackles (706), 2nd all time in sacks (102 - one of only 2 players to hit triple digits), 10th in forced fumbles (7), and 6th in fumble recoveries (6). Clearly, Ernston was a well rounded defender, while someone like sack leader Miller was best in 1 category (and 2nd in forced fumbles), he's nowhere to be found in the top 10 tacklers list, or the top 10 fumble recoveries list. The hell of it is - the guy is STILL playing, a clear bright spot for the Arizona Outlaws, who appear to need more players of his caliber on the squad as of late.
Now, since he's a S1 player, he's bound to have a leg up on many players who've been around more recently, but I think it's important to honor the guys from that first wave- the players who put the league on the map, and Harriff is definitely one of them. It's the consistency and versatility that makes Ernston a clear Hall of Fame caliber player in my book.
