2041, 2042 & 2045 ALLPRO
2049 NXC Conference Champ

He was the 7th overall pick of the 2041 draft by Memphis out of Georgia Tech. This was his draft analysis, immediately after being taken: "Two Yellow Jackets were elected to the Hall of Fame today and Fain becomes the next Yellow jacket to get drafted in the 1st round. Fain has world class speed and the courage to go up and get it. He needs to bulk up some which could slow him down a bit but his speed plays in the XFL and Fain should be a playmaker." He spent nine seasons with Memphis where he helped lead them to 3 NXC Conference Championship games including 1 NXC Conference Championship before ending his career with Dakota and Indiana for 2 seasons each. He finished either 1st or 2nd in both regular season & postseason receptions, receiving yards & TD receptions which puts him along with 2042 HOF WR Derek Looney (DAK) in the debate for best WR ever! He ends up 5th Alltime in Total yards and 4th Alltime in Total TDs. He was elected into the HOF unanimously on his 1st ballot and becomes the 22nd WR to receive the Gold Jacket! He becomes the 4th player for Memphis enshrined and joins fellow WR Richard Gray in representing Memphis in the HOF.

CB Eddie Mayo
Montana Grizzlies
12 seasons
Montana (9)
Washington (1)
Los Angeles (2)

He was drafted with the 19th overall pick of the 2041 draft by Montana out of Wayne State. This is his post draft analysis: "Scouts had Mayo ranked higher then Bealer or Ashbrook at safety despite him coming from an unknown football program in college. If he develops fully, he has a chance to be one of the top 2 to 3 safeties taken in this draft. He is a gamble but his speed, quickness, intelligence and abilities to play zone defense mean he will stick with the team even if he doesn't develop further." He spent 9 seasons with Montana before playing 2 seasons with Los Angeles and 1 season with Washington. He became the very definition of a lockdown CB where he defended 1,018 passes (16th Alltime) where he had 280 knockdowns (5th Alltime) & 54 interceptions (10th Alltime). He was elected unanimously on his 2nd year on the ballot and becomes the 18th DB & 12th CB enshrined into the HOF. He becomes the 5th player for Montana to receive his Gold Jacket but just the 2nd defensive player joining MLB Robert Sandoval.

He spent his first 4 seasons with Washington before signing with Buffalo in free agency where he spent his last 12 seasons.

The tackling machine also finished 9th Alltime with 113 postseason tackles. He was a versatile defender with a nose for the ball and his 21 forced fumbles ranks 13th Alltime.
