| Agustin Crook |
A pair of players who saved their best for last, quarterback Agustin Crook and cornerback Leon Crisman, will be the first two inductees into the USFL/WFL Hall of Fame.
Crook was named the league's offensive MVP twice in his four seasons, with the Denver Gold in 1974 and the Birmingham Stallions in 1977. He passed for 6,548 yards and 46 TDs in that season, the most yards ever in game version 0.4.3. Crook averaged 4,505 yards per season and threw 159 TDs to 61 interceptions while completing 60.1 percent of his passes. He received votes from 28 of the 30 coaches who filled out their ballots.
