It could be said that Torenson will become the least likely Hall of Fame player in League history. Sam Torenson entered the league as a little know farm boy from Clintonville Wisconsin. His was a relatively low draft pick of the Portland Pythons at defensive tackle. You see in his home town with a population of 650 he was always the biggest kid around and therefor was always playing on the line. While in Portland and goofing off after practice this rookie showed some instincts that a coach noticed. The next day he was moved to running back and his career has gone through the roof. He was the number one overall pick the next season for the expansion Chicago Butchers. He toted the rock for them for two seasons, making the playoffs each season, before the team management broke the team down and sold off pieces. He has since become the franchise rushing leader for the Philadelphia Liberty while simultaneously remaining in the top 5 rushing for Chicago despite only being there 2 seasons. He has 960 yards to go to break the league all-time rushing yards record. From little know defensive tackle to best running back in the league solidifies him as biggest surprise.
