The Hall of Fame is a special place. A place where great players, coaches, and GMs are immortalized. When I think about who should be in the hall I think of players who have both found individual success, as well as players who have helped their team find success. Antoine Delacour is one of those players. Delacour has been around since the beginning and has won just about everything a player could want. A late pick in the inaugural season of the NSFL, selected 65th overall by Baltimore, many analysts wouldn’t have imagined that he would have the career that he has. A 4 time Pro Bowler, twice winning defensive player of the year, and holding multiple records. This is the type of career that kids fall asleep dreaming of.
I think that Hall of Fame players need to set the standard for their position, they need to set the bar that all other players are measured to. I believe that that is what Delacour has done. Along with the accolades I mentioned above, he has set multiple NSFL records in his time. He has also contributed on special teams as one of the top punt returners in the league. This is a player that has set the standard for what a great CB should be.
