Former New York Giants defensive finish Leonard Marshall had a storied profession, getting named to 2 Professional Bowls, successful two Tremendous Bowls and having his identify enshrined within the staff’s esteemed Ring of Honor.
Now, he’s being touted for an additional honor — the Professional Soccer Corridor of Fame.
Not by the standard suspects, although, however by Andre Sayegh, the mayor of Paterson, New Jersey.
Sayegh despatched the Professional Soccer Corridor of Fame a letter urging them to think about Marshall for the final word honor that may be bestowed upon a participant.
“Leonard Marshall is a Corridor of Fame human being,” Sayegh stated in his letter, through NorthJersey.com.
“In the course of the peak of the pandemic when only a few African American males had been getting vaccinated, Leonard Marshall got here to Paterson and issued a name to motion for African American males to get vaccinated.”
In fact, the Corridor has its personal course of and can doubtless learn the letter and take Marshall’s candidacy into consideration, however the actuality is that Marshall has by no means been thought of for induction.
Since his retirement from the NFL in 1995, Marshall has not as soon as been listed as a finalist for induction. Will Sayegh’s letter get them to take one other take a look at him? We’ll see.
