Brian Mitchell

The credibility juice should flow both ways.

Brian was a trendsetting record breaking college player, and the All-Time NFL Yardage King when he played his last game.

I remember back then Sports Illustrated had an article claiming Major Harris was the first collegiate QB to have the 1000+/2000+ yard combo in a season when Brian had already done it.

At first I thought your question was a bit of a stretch but after reading the below notes you are starting to make a very strong case.

"At Southwestern Louisiana, Mitchell became the first player in NCAA history to pass for more than 5,000 yards (5,447) and rush for more than 3,000 yards (3,335). He also held the NCAA record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback (47). As a senior, he rushed for 1,311 yards and passed for 1,966 yards while accounting for 25 touchdowns (six passing, 19 rushing)."

Exactly correct. I believe he actually had one better season than Brian. The Sulton of the Swamp reins supreme

How would he be nominated for selection to the HOF? Is our AD the one to do that?

He is not eligible for the College HOF because he was not a First Team All American which is one of their requirements.

A Division III quarterback can get in, but because UL had a dirt poor advertising arm in the 1980's Brian Michell cannot.

Lives in D.C. and rarely talks about sports...I bet he’s on the hook for some big lobbyists
