2041 INDUCTEES

MLB Eric Aguirre
Vegas Black Aces

11 seasons
Vegas (10)
Michigan (1)
2039 XFL Champion
2038 NXC Conference Champion
2030, 2031, 2032, 2034 & 2305 ALLPRO

He was drafted with the 28th pick in the 2nd round of the 2030 draft by Vegas out of Texas Tech. He was the 6th LB taken in that draft. There are players who retire and make the Hall of Fame ballot and get elected by a committee after consideration then there are players like Aguirre where thier is no doubt. He holds tge single season tackle record with 166 and is 1 of just 2 players to finish his career in the top 10 Alltime in both tackles (1,144) & knockdowns (261). He is also just 1 of 2 players in the top 10 Alltime in both tackles & postseason tackles. He is just 1 of 8 players to be selected to at least 5 ALLPROs. He was a complete, every down linebacker who could stuff the run and cover during passing downs. In fact, his 1,101 passes defended ranks him #1 Alltime. He was elected to the Hall of Fame on his 1st ballot unanimously and becomes the 6th MLB enshrined.


QB Ahmad Pickens
Vancouver Vandals

15 seasons
Vancouver (8)
Carolina (4)
Pittsburgh (1)
Kansas City (2)

He was drafted with the 1st pick of the 2nd round of the 2023 draft by Vancouver out of Georgia Tech. He was the 2nd quarterback selected that draft and he spent just over half his career with Vancouver before starting games for three other teams. He never won a Title or any individual awards but he was a consistent performer with moments of brilliance. In 2035, he threw 9 TD passes in a game which is 2nd Alltime and in 2030, he had 45 completions in a game which is 5th Alltime. His 772 attempts during the 2030 season ranks 6th Alltime. For his career, he ended up 5th Alltime in passing yards (50,743) and 10th Alltime in TD passes (277) making him just 1 of 7 quarterbacks Alltime to be top 10 Alltime in both categories. He becomes the 9th quarterback to be elected into the Hall of Fame and he made it on his 4th ballot.


WR Jeff Weir
Buffalo Skull Crushers

9 seasons
Buffalo (5)
Providence (4)
2036 XFL Champion
2040 AXC Champion
2037 & 2038 ALLPRO

He was drafted with the 21st pick of the 1st round in the 2032 draft by Providence out of Texas Tech. His four seasons with Providence were underwhelming before he signed a free agent contract with Buffalo and he put up 5 dominate seasons where he became a touchdown machine. His 84 career TD receptions rank him 5th Alltime but he also had success rushing the ball where his 13 rushing TDs in the 2038 season rank him 3rd Alltime in a season. It was the postseason, where his star shined the brightest where he ranks in the top 10 Alltime in Postseason rushing TDs (4), receiving yards (964), TD receptions (7) and Total TDs (11). He is 1 of 5 players in the top 10 in Career & postseason Total TDs. He was elected to the Hall of Fame on his 1st ballot and becomes the 10th WR enshrined.


RB John Taylor
Texas Hold'em

13 seasons
Texas (10)
Philadelphia (2)
Los Angeles (1)
2033 XFL Champion

He was drafted with the 5th overall pick of the 2026 draft by Texas out of Washington State. This was the commentary immediately following the selection: "This is Texas's 3rd pick in the top 5 and it seems like they reached a little for this selection. Taylor was seen by scouts as the 2nd or 3rd best back in the draft and projected him to go somewhere in the middle to end of the 1st round. Also an odd choice considering the next pick, RB Melvin Shaw was still available and graded much higher across the board." Needless to say Texas made the right selection since Taylor finished his career ahead of Shaw in every major statistical category except rushing TDs (37 to 30) and Taylor was elected to the Hall of Fame on his 3rd ballot unanimously. He finished 8th Alltime in rushing yards (8,161), 7th Alltime in KO return TDs (6), 4th Alltime in Total yards (17,568), 6th Alltime in Postseason KO return yards (333), 2nd Alltime in KO return TDs (1) and 9th Alltime in Postseason Total yards (1,597).


MLB Jimmy Stephens
Carolina Cobras

15 seasons
Carolina (12)
Pittsburgh (2)
Miami (1)
2029 XFL Champion

He was drafted with the 16th pick of the 1st round in the 2023 draft by Carolina out of Missouri. Stephens was the captain of the Carolina defense for a dozen seasons and led them to their only Title. He finished his career 4th Alltime in tackles (1,109) while he finished 6th Alltime among LBs in knockdowns, 9th Alltime among LBs in forced fumbles, 5th Alltime among LBs in pick 6s and 3rd Alltime among LBs in passes defended. He was elected to the Hall of Fame on his 3rd ballot and becomes the 7th MLB enshrined.


CB Brad Hamlin
Miami Nemesis

10 seasons
Miami (8)
Dakota (2)
2039 AXC Conference Champion
2038 XFL Champion
2030 & 2037 ALLPRO

He was drafted #1 overall in the 2030 draft by Miami out of Georgia Tech. This was the commentary after the selection: "I could nitpick about his height and weight but this guy is a monster and a no brainer at #1 overall." It's hard to live up to that type of hype but Hamlin did it over his career. He had seasons with 12 interceptions (2037) and 11 interceptions (2036) which rank him 3rd & 6th Alltime for a season. In 2031 & 2034, he had 2 pick 6s for the season which both rank 2nd Alltime. His 174 interception return yards in 2031 ranks #1 Alltime in a season. For his career, he ranks 3rd Alltime with 65 interceptions and his 5 career pick 6s rank him 2nd Alltime while his 389 interception return yards rank him 3rd Alltime. He did all this damage despite teams not throwing in his direction, he finished his career with just 681 passes defended which ranks as 119th most. He was a unanimous selection on his 2nd ballot and becomes the 7th CB enshrined.
