1972 Season Preview - Power Rankings


1 - Providence Gold Stars
1971 Record: 11-3 (2nd East)
1971 Result: Lost Quarter-Finals
Head Coach: Tommie Warner (3rd Season)
Starting QB: Red King
Offensive Scheme: Balanced
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: DB Neville Falkner
Rookie to Watch: LB Ridley Robertson


Since making a change at Head Coach after the 1969 season, the Gold Stars have gone a solid 19-7 since, fielding one of the best defences in the league in both seasons. A defence that had 2 Defensive Player of the Year nominees last season in LB Kurt Warlock and DL Bartolo Cruz, who took home the award. The defensive lineup remains roughly the same except for one key difference which is the returning DB Neville Falkner. One of the best corners in the league’s history returns to Providence to hopefully put this team over the top for the first time in the NAAF. Despite a fantastic defence, the offence is no slouch with a pair of solid RBs in Ronnie Byers and Tresean Jones, behind QB Red King in his 2nd full season as a starter. The former 2nd overall pick is also excited to have a former college teammate in WR Leon Hudson join the team to shore up the WR corps. On top of that, they also changed it up at Offensive Coordinator, replacing Kerry Holder with Don Neuman, which should bring a jolt to the offence that was average at times last season. Looking across the whole lineup it is hard to find any weakness in Providence’s arsenal which makes them a favourite, if not the favourite, going into the 1972 season.

Captains: 
C - LB Victor Falkensteig
A - WR Owen Paisley
A - S Tom Parrish

2 - Louisville Thunder
1971 Record: 9-5 (2nd Central)
1971 Result: Won McCallister Cup
Head Coach: Lou Granger (3rd Season)
Starting QB: Buck Murphy
Offensive Scheme: Pass Heavy
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: WR Orlando Barrack
Rookie to Watch: DL Carl Hogg


The defending champs enter the 1972 season with a lot of momentum after bouncing back from a late-season skid to roll on and win the title. Louisville has one of the most explosive offences in the league, but they will have a slight change in the WR corps. The team's former #2 WR, Lloyd Lane, left town for more opportunity so a lot of the pressure this season will be on WR Ben Graham to step up in his 2nd full season as a starter. WR Orlando Barrack has also arrived to help with the loss of Lane, but the 31-year-old is not as fast as he used to be. The defence is also solid in Louisville with a scary D-line that features Aaron Henderson, Lucas Kipling, and Gavin Shaw, as well as an ever-improving LB corps behind former 1st overall pick Ricky Wildgoose and veteran Le’Darius Wynn. Expect to see another competitive season from the Thunder who have a shot at repeating as champions.

Captains: 
C - WR Casey Coleman
A - LB Le’Darius Wynn
A - S Tom McDougall

3 - Pittsburgh Blacksmiths
1971 Record: 12-2 (1st Central)
1971 Result: Lost Quarter-Finals
Head Coach: Ted McMahon (8th Season)
Starting QB: Louis Vaughn
Offensive Scheme: Balanced
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: WR Yahui Sun
Rookie to Watch: LB Yuri Dragunov


It was a disappointing end to an incredible season for the Blacksmiths. After MOP-winning QB Louis Vaughn went down in the first playoff games, the team would fail to get past the 8th-seeded Buffalo Blue Wings. The team is determined to bounce back this season, despite having a harder time bringing in new talent since they have been right up against the cap all offseason. However, they did still manage to replace the departing WR Orlando Barrack with WR Yahui Sun and extend DL Matthias Hartmann after a breakout season. If star DL Arthur Bradshaw can remain healthy this season, Pittsburgh will have a dangerous D-line with those two leading the way. The rest of the defence didn’t see a whole lot of change, but the one interesting addition is with LB Yuri Dragunov who has reportedly been incredibly impressive in training camp, impressive enough for Pittsburgh to trade away veteran LB Kyle Essena just weeks before the season is set to start. Pittsburgh is going to be a threat again this season, and the fans, as well as Cup-hunting veteran S Garet deVale, will hope that they can claim the Cup this season.

Captains: 
C - QB Louis Vaughn
A - OL Erik Nelson
A - LB Quinn Masters

4 - Minnesota Serpents
1971 Record: 10-4 (1st West)
1971 Result: Lost Semi-Finals
Head Coach: Soni Dionne (4th Season)
Starting QB: Martin Keller
Offensive Scheme: Run Heavy
Defensive Scheme: 3-3-3-2
Biggest Acquisition: DB Chandler Gage
Rookie to Watch: LB Morgan King


Minnesota was finally able to get over the hump of winning a playoff game after their 3rd straight strong season. Now, it is time for the team to take the next step forward and get after a Cup. The team won’t see a major change in strategy with a run-heavy offence led by 1971 Offensive Player of the Year, RB Tyler Kuhn, and his veteran support in RB Hugo Hughes and RB Austin Andrews. The umbrella secondary also returns on defence with the new additions of DB Chandler Gage and S Peter Sellers who will slot into a couple of the starting 5 secondary players. In the front 6, there are 3 new/up-and-coming players in DL Winfield Winchester, acquired via trade, as well as 1st Round Pick, LB Morgan King, and second-year player, LB Earl Featherstonhaugh. Overall, Minnesota should be a solid team again and should be able to be in the Cup conversation.

Captains: 
C - OL Elias McCarren
A - DL Albert Sullivan
A - QB Martin Keller*

5 - Montreal Rouge
1971 Record: 12-2 (1st East)
1971 Result: Lost McCallister Cup
Head Coach: Malachi Knowles (2nd Season)
Starting QB: Gene Bishop
Offensive Scheme: Balanced
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: LB Walker Colson
Rookie to Watch: OL Phil Ampertis


Montreal surprised many fans last season with a 12-2 record and a trip to the McCallister Cup. While the defence remains a key threat with one of the strongest secondaries in the league, headlined by S Mathieu Cazenave and DB Lamar Brown, as well as a couple of young stars in DL Alan Franjkovic and LB Jean-Christophe Bain. Offensively, the Rouge may have some more issues, while a pair of 1st Round acquisitions last season in RB Bo Frazier and WR Antonio Villanueva added some much-needed life to the offence, there is concern over the aging players. Star WR Taylor Karis is slowing down at 33 and QB Gene Bishop, who seemed like he would be out of Montreal by the end of last season, is still here. The 36-year-old Bishop has been spotty over the last several years and while a solid season last year gave him a new contract, many are wondering if the Rouge may eventually turn over to 1970 1st Round Pick, QB Nathan Houle, at some point this season. Overall, Montreal’s defence makes them a tough team, but the offence may hold them back this season in a difficult East Division.

Captains: 
C - OL Mathieu Roy
A - WR Taylor Karis
A - DB Lamar Brown

6 - Long Island Raiders
1971 Record: 6-8 (5th East)
1971 Result: Missed Playoffs
Head Coach: Levi Bray (3rd Season)
Starting QB: Ivan Sanchez
Offensive Scheme: Pass Heavy
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: DL Johnathan Ellison
Rookie to Watch: S Ian Outlaw


It was a disappointing title defence for the Raiders last season, who completely missed the playoffs. However, that did not discourage GM/Owner Wayne Tillman who went out and picked up two big free agents. DL Johnathan Ellison, who has been great for the Steelheads in recent years comes in to replace the retiring DL Pionk Bjorkkstrand, and TE Eric Peterson, who has been a bit of an underrated TE for the Victors comes in to fill a need the Raiders have had for a few years now. HC Levi Bray is excited to work with his new offensive weapon in Peterson as well as the recently acquired RB Rudy Saunders to supplement RB Scott Norton. Defensively, the Raiders are getting older, but some younger talent is on the rise in DL Dallas Breaker, LBs Callum Owen and Tyrone Dye, and 4th overall pick S Ian Outlaw. Expect a bounce back from the Raiders this season with the moves they have made towards getting back to the playoffs. 

Captains: 
C - LB William Washington II
A - DB Rutherford Winters
A - WR Larry Mossholder

7 - Ottawa Royals
1971 Record: 9-5 (3rd East)
1971 Result: Lost Quarter-Finals
Head Coach: Jean Matieau (5th Season)
Starting QB: Drake Young
Offensive Scheme: Balanced
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: DL Robin Lucas
Rookie to Watch: DL Robin Lucas


Last season the Royals were keeping pace with the Gold Stars and Rouge at the top of the East Division up until QB Drake Young was injured, ending what was looking like an MOP-level season from the young QB. QB Ulysses Lawyer did his best to keep the Royals afloat, but they would ultimately be a 1st Round exit for the 2nd year in a row. With Young back to health, the Royals are hoping to bounce back and get back to being a top team in the league. They focused this offseason on shoring up depth on the D-line, adding DL Robin Lucas in the draft and DL Ryan Sargent in free agency while hoping that young players like 1971 1st Round Pick, Mathieu Tremblay, and Obert Roux will be able to add more depth to the team. Overall, they still have a solid team behind stars like DL Bernhard Hartmann, DB Sergio Alvarez, and S Marc Bellecourt, but a concern could be on aging weapons on offence. The team’s top RB Corbyn Knight is 32, while last season’s top WR Marshall Leonard is 34. They are going to need to hope that younger talent like WR Matthew de la Cruz, WR Charles Toothacre, and RB Richard Morin can start to take on bigger roles this season. Overall, Ottawa should still be a solid team and if they can stay healthy this year, they could be a contender. 

Captains: 
C - DL Bernhard Hartmann*
A - LB Sam Wheeler
A - QB Drake Young*

8 - Vancouver Wolves
1971 Record: 7-7 (2nd West)
1971 Result: Lost Quarter-Finals
Head Coach: Johnnie Dawson (3rd Season in NAAF)
Starting QB: Kevin Westwood
Offensive Scheme: Balanced
Defensive Scheme: 4-4-3-2
Biggest Acquisition: DB Lawrence Ralph
Rookie to Watch: S Gunpei Koizumi


Barely crawling into the playoffs last season was not a proud moment for the Wolves, who had gone all the way to the McCallister Cup the previous season. Just like a lot of teams, they are hoping to bounce back. However, the team was pretty quiet this offseason. The only major addition in free agency is DB Lawrence Ralph who is set to be a depth DB for the team. They feel that they still have a strong team behind QB Kevin Westwood, WR Keshawn Johnston, DL Rashawn Sutherland, and LB Shawn Anderson. Playing in the weaker West Division, they very well could be a top team again this season with the team that they have had. The one interesting new player will be S Gunpei Koizumi, who is the first player to come through the Japan talent pipeline. Vancouver has been high on the young player so many eyes will be on the 3rd Round Pick to see how he does in the NAAF as a bit of a guinea pig for the league’s new international ventures.

Captains: 
C - QB Kevin Westwood
A - WR Keshawn Johnston
A - DL Jared Kendall

9 - Boston Independents
1971 Record: 7-7 (4th East)
1971 Result: Missed Playoffs
Head Coach: Kenneth Chaney (4th Season)
Starting QB: Nathaniel Braddock
Offensive Scheme: Balanced
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: LB Kyle Essena
Rookie to Watch: WR Craig Nunnery


There is no team with more pressure to win a championship than the Boston Independents heading into the 1972 season. With Braddock now 36, Boston has been all in on trying to bring home a championship before Braddock retires. They have invested a lot of money and draft capital into making the team a Cup contender, adding players like DL Wayne Baxton, WR Al Allmendinger, and DL Bjorn Sigmarsson. However, they still couldn’t get into the playoffs last season, despite being a solid team statistically. This offseason, they attempted to lure DB Neville Falkner over, but ultimately lost out to their rivals in Providence. Their push left them a bit behind in free agency and ultimately failed to add any significant changes. However, that may work out for Boston who has a good foundation. Maybe all they need is to build off of the chemistry that is being formed with the current group. Either way, Boston will be giving it their all to try and even just get into the dance this season after last year’s disappointment.

Captains: 
C - QB Nathaniel Braddock
A - DL Wayne Baxton*
A - S Ernie Osborne

10 - Buffalo Blue Wings
1971 Record: 7-7 (3rd Central)
1971 Result: Missed Playoffs
Head Coach: Maurice Evanson (9th Season)
Starting QB: Charles Lemieux
Offensive Scheme: Balanced
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: DL Zane Tannith
Rookie to Watch: LB Basti Gräbner


The Blue Wings pulled off the definition of sneaking into the playoffs after managing to score just enough to beat Indiana by 14 in order to pick up the 8th seed last season. All after suffering a plethora of key injuries to RB Jasper Dickerson, DB Ezra Power, and DL Ned Hedman. Injuries had always been a concern for an aging Blue Wings team that had to sacrifice depth for the salary cap in recent years. Last year, it finally caught up with them, as well as the age of the team was clearly on the back end of an era of dominance. This offseason, they aimed to add some depth to the team overall, acquiring former 1st Round Pick, LB Willie Stetson, as well as veterans DL Zane Tannith and RB Théodore Lemieux. They should all help if more injuries start to pile up again, however the team doesn’t enter this season feeling as big a threat as they usually do. Buffalo will no doubt be competitive with QB Charles Lemieux leading the way, but they aren’t projecting to be a top contender like they have been for the last decade. 

Captains: 
C - QB Charles Lemieux
A - DB Dean Hawkins
A - WR Jimmy Jack

11 - London Tigers
1971 Record: 5-9 (5th Central)
1971 Result: Missed Playoffs
Head Coach: Aengus Lynch
Starting QB: Henry Johnsson*
Offensive Scheme: Balanced
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: WR Lloyd Lane
Rookie to Watch: S Marcus Harris


A new era began in London after GM Joseph Johnson officially retired from football after running the team for 23 seasons. In the last couple of seasons, the Tigers have flashed moments of great play, even being able to beat the Thunder twice last season, but have been quite inconsistent overall. Much of the young talent on defence has been good like DL Mo Kahn, LB Reuben James, and LB Everett Lynch, but not great. RB Jeremy Royal has also shown flashes of elite play but has not been consistently healthy or great either. These guys are going to have to reach the next level if the team wants to return to playoff contention. They may also have a little more pressure on them with 1971 2nd Overall Pick, QB Henry Johnsson, starting this season. Johnsson has had limited play, but a year on the bench has worked out for a lot of QBs in the past. Luckily, new GM, Martin Gagneaux has gone out to get some help with WR Lloyd Lane joining the fray as a top-tier WR. Lane along with other talent like WR Cole Fletcher should provide Johnsson with a good support group along with a rebuilt O-line. The Tigers are a dark horse that could easily find themselves in playoff contention if things work out and their core players can take the next step forward.

Captains: 
C - DL Mo Kahn
A - LB Everett Lynch
A - QB Tyrion Gainsborough

12 - Indiana Victors
1971 Record: 7-7 (4th Central)
1971 Result: Missed Playoffs
Head Coach: Urick Wilkins (4th Season)
Starting QB: Tom Applewhite
Offensive Scheme: Pass Heavy
Defensive Scheme: 3-4-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: OL Clancy Harrison
Rookie to Watch: DB Oswald Martell


After missing out on the playoffs in a heartbreaking collapse against Buffalo last season, the Victors are left in a weird spot. They had a good enough season that they elected not to clear house at GM and HC, but it wasn’t good enough to inspire a lot of confidence going into this season. The offseason didn’t get off to the best start with DB Neville Falkner leaving town. They struggled to bring in much help throughout the offseason as a whole. One of the biggest issues the team has had for years now has been in the run game. They tried to bring in RB Jimmy Golden last year, but he showed he is well past his prime. As of now the team may be relying a lot on Ed Finley, who stepped in for Golden at times last season, and RB Yancy Harrison, who started most of last year for Buffalo in the absence of RB Jasper Dickerson. However, they also could turn to 2nd year RB Daniel Collins, who was taken in the 2nd round last year. A lot of eyes will also be on QB Tom Applewhite, who is entering the final year of his expensive contract after a mediocre season last year. There is a lot of pressure on the Victors to succeed, but not a lot of hope they can follow through beyond being a fringe playoff contender.

C - OL Viktor Stahl
A - QB Tom Applewhite*

13 - Halifax Mariners
1971 Record: 4-10 (6th East)
1971 Result: Missed Playoffs
Head Coach: Ben McMillan (5th Season)
Starting QB: Todd Sparrow*
Offensive Scheme: Balanced
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: OL Mason Fitzpatrick
Rookie to Watch: RB Axel Vandal


It is officially the QB Todd Sparrow show in Halifax this season. Last year’s 1st Overall Pick will be the day 1 starter for the first time in his career. He struggled in his first few starts last year but improved a lot by the end of the season. Halifax still has a relatively strong foundation of talent. A solid mix of veteran leaders like DL Pat Butler, DB Joe Robinson, and WR Shane Steadman, as well as younger talent like LB Frederic Macnamara, DB Jack Treadaway, and WR Oliver Shephard. There will be a lot of eyes on the backfield to see if 2nd Overall Pick, RB Axel Vandal will see the field a lot, but to start the year RB George Seahorse will lead the way. Halifax should be a solid and competitive team, however, their playoff hopes may be already dashed just from having to play against the East Division where all 5 other teams have a legitimate shot at the McCallister Cup this season.

Captains: 
C - DL Pat Butler
A - DB Joe Robinson
A - WR Shane Steadman*

14 - Toronto Steelheads
1971 Record: 2-12 (6th Season)
1971 Result: Missed Playoffs
Head Coach: Phillip Little
Starting QB: Landon Ross*
Offensive Scheme: Run Heavy
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: OL Amos Sewell
Rookie to Watch: DL Sam Reinkemeyer


It was a difficult first season under GM Reginald McMahon in Toronto last season, but McMahon was committed to bringing the team’s floor up. They would first address the weak O-line by bringing in a pair of veterans in OL Amos Sewell and OL Paul O’Doherty. They would lose a key piece in DL Johnathan Ellison, but with the 1st Overall Pick, they would bring on DL Sam Reinkemeyer who has the potential to be even better than Ellison. Another key adjustment is with the offensive play calling, bringing on veteran coach Kerry Holder as the new OC, who runs a much more traditional, but effective offence. Expect the team to focus a lot more on the ground attack with RB Shannon West. Now the last question was going to be at QB. The team did draft QB Ryan Alexander in the 1st Round this year, but they are going to let him sit. QB David Simmons is still with the team, but Holder has elected to go with the QB that is most comfortable in his system, Landon Ross, who has been with Holder for the past 5 seasons split between Long Island and Providence. Toronto had a great defence last year, and with a simpler offence may be able to string together some more wins this season and get out of the bottom of the league.

Captains: 
C - LB Judge Barrett*
A - S Charles Clerk
A - OL Amos Sewell*

15 - Edmonton Rangers
1971 Record: 6-8 (3rd West)
1971 Result: Missed Playoffs
Head Coach: Pat Gilliam
Starting QB: Ken Myers*
Offensive Scheme: Run Heavy
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: RB Jimmy Golden
Rookie to Watch: OL Callum Thomas


Edmonton has been a solid team in the West division over the past couple of seasons. They are carried by a strong coaching staff and strong run game, however, age is likely to start pulling this team backward. They come into this season as the oldest team in the league and they didn’t exactly get younger throughout the offseason. Their key addition was a 34-year-old RB Jimmy Golden… not exactly an inspiring move. On top of that, they also saw the retirement of long-time legend QB Blair Collins. Taking his place is his backup QB Ken Myers. Myers has been serviceable in his 4 starts in the past two seasons going 3-1. However, there are a lot more questions about his ability to manage the team in the long run. The team’s usual strength may be in question as well with RB Gary Hubbard now 31. His support of Golden is not a sure thing, so they are going to have to hope that some younger talent like 2nd Round Pick Howie Bowman and recently acquired Aeneas Phillips can bring in some more support in the backfield. Overall, Edmonton can still be solid with the coaching staff as they have been, but the age and new QB may lead to a worse finish than the team is used to.

Captains: 
C - OL Charles Creighton*
A - LB Herb Landry
A - RB Gary Hubbard*

16 - Calgary Predators
1971 Record: 4-10 (4th West)
1971 Result: Missed Playoffs
Head Coach: Travis Hobson
Starting QB: Emmitt Jackson*
Offensive Scheme: Wild West
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: DB Bobby Bastian
Rookie to Watch: WR Eric Norris


It may be the make-or-break year for the Wild West Offence experiment in Calgary. After another offseason with a chance to bring in players that fit the offence, they are going to need to show that it works in order to keep the current staff in place. QB Emmitt Jackson will enter his second season in the offence. He showed moments of solid play last season and the team will hope he can build off of that this year. A lot of the offence will likely hinge on draft picks from the last two years in RB Rocco Peaks, who the Preds took 4th Overall last year, and WRs Eric Norris and James Johnson, who they drafted this season. All have good speed which should hopefully work well in the offence. Their defence should still be solid with veterans like DL Damien Battles, DL Chris Barrett, and LB Junior Abbott, but they also will want to see some new and young talent take on a bigger role this season in DB Bobby Bastian and LB Marcus McGhee. Calgary showed growth last season, we will see if they can improve again this year.

Captains: 
C - DL Chris Barrett
A - RB John Drexel
A - LB Junior Abbott

17 - Regina Wheat Kings
1971 Record: 4-10 (6th West)
1971 Result: Missed Playoffs
Head Coach: Wayne Combs
Starting QB: Stanley Evans
Offensive Scheme: Balanced
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: WR Leonard Green
Rookie to Watch: LB Lewis Vander


Regina has consistently punched above their weight in the past couple of seasons with one of the weakest rosters on paper. There is more hope this season with the team now having an official GM in Aaron Thornton who has made some strong changes already. The two key moves were drafting LB Lewis Vander 3rd overall and acquiring WR Leonard Green. Vander is a very dynamic defender who can slot into a few different spots in the defence which provides flexibility, while Green should be a welcome and physical addition to the passing attack. These new additions should supplement all the great new acquisitions from last season with QB Stanley Evans, who surprised many with a solid year, another physical WR in Jimmy Franks, and of course, last season’s Rookie of the Year, the dominant DL Butcher Callahan. The expectations are a little higher for the Wheat Kings this season, but they have proven to get over the bar in the last two years. 

Captains: 
C - LB Brett Pride
A - DL Pete Gingers
A - OL Hugh Johnson

18 - Winnipeg Falcons
1971 Record: 4-10 (5th West)
1971 Result: Missed Playoffs 
Head Coach: Jay Nielson
Starting QB: Ulysses Lawyer*
Offensive Scheme: Balanced
Defensive Scheme: 4-3-2-2
Biggest Acquisition: QB Ulysses Lawyer
Rookie to Watch: DL Graham de Veres


The Falcons suffered through a very inconsistent season last year, primarily at QB. Emerson Thompson started the year but eventually was benched for Jerome Sheppard, who was also hit or miss. With those inconsistencies, the Falcons went out and brought in three new QBs, Ulysses Lawyer, Xerxes Wynn, and Mitchell Nash. Going into the season, Lawyer is getting the call. The 29-year-old, has the most experience being the starting QB for the Gold Stars in 1969. He also played well for the Royals down the stretch last season. Lawyer is not the most inspiring selection, but maybe a more consistent one. However, don’t be surprised if Wynn or even Thompson get in at some point this season. Outside of the QB spot, the Falcons don’t change dramatically. They did address their major weakness on the D-line with DL Quinton Hextal returning while drafting a young player in DL Graham de Veres. Winnipeg has a solid set of talent, but they seem a little lost in their direction, especially at QB, so that leaves them with little momentum heading into the season, hence their placement here.

Captains: 
C - LB Claude Clarke
A - RB Joe Rivers
A - WR Terry Upshaw
