I would say he's Action has had two moments, when he tore his ACL and MCL during his sophomore season at Georgia and his decision to leave San Jose and go to the Wraiths.
Back before his major injury he was considered a speed wide receiver who had some serious jets on him. He not only played football but also track and field where he was all state and considered a scholarship to Georgia Tech to run track and play football. Instead he decided to focus on football and went to Georgia. After he rehabbed his injury he knew he'd lost some speed and decided that he better focus more and being a red zone threat instead and focus on his possession.
After deciding to leave San Jose this past off season and go to the Wraiths I feel like my chances of winning a championship dramatically improved. While it left them a little set back they still have DTF and couple of young guys who I'm sure will step up while I believe I can help the Wraiths get over the playoff hump they seem to be stuck on. So far it's been a pretty positive experience as we are first in the conference while my personal stats aren't as good as past seasons I enjoy winning and don't mind if they are lower than usual.

My hope is that I have not reached the major turning point in my career yet. In Norfolk, I was one of the better tight ends in the league in statistics and ratings, now in Baltimore in my second season, my performance can be described as nothing short of disappointing. However, this is not all my fault. Our offense just hasn't progressed the way that we have all hoped. I know everyone is trying their best, but we are mired in mediocrity. Our decent defense is being hurt by our abysmal offense. The Hawks defense is ranked 5th in the NSFL for points against which is very solid, but our offense is ranked 5th worst in points scored. With two conflicting statistics like that, it is unable to be anything but mediocre, and that's exactly what we are. I have said many times that I do not care about my personal stats if we are winning and that is truly how I feel, but when we are stagnating on offense, we need to try something new. The league as a whole is very mediocre across the board this season, with a lot of parity. This parity has allowed us to be in contention, but don't let that fool you. As I said at the start of this message, I hope the real turning point in my career has yet to come, and that my time in the NSFL so far has been a test that will make me appreciate the real turning point that is in the near future. I am fully committed to having that magic moment be with Baltimore. Go Hawks!

Zamir has a multitude of chips on his shoulder. The biggest one is probably his draft position. Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock knows all about the fiasco that was S22 draft night. Zamir projected himself as a top CB, but he knew teams would probably view him as 2nd or third round talent. No way in hell did he think he would fall past the 4th round. He must have underestimated how scared the GMs are of his personality. Which, by the way, has literally affected no one negatively. After falling in the draft, a lot of people speculated that Zamir might quit the league, or he's going to come back and work harder than ever to prove people wrong. Zamir went with the latter. He was still a max earner. He had the best stats out of every CB in his rookie season in the DSFL, and he translated those skills to the NSFL also, being the only CB in his draft class to make the pro bowl that year. He had 4 ints and 14 PDs, not bad for a rookie. This year he made a big jump, with 4 ints and 19 PDs, and still 5 games left to be played. He is the best CB as of now, yet he was the 10th CB drafted in S22. Funny how that works.

Throughout his early years as a football player, Harrison Andrews had always played on both sides of the ball. Though they were very different skillsets, he excelled offensively and defensively even at the college ranks. Playing the tight end position had always been what he enjoyed most, but it was evident early on that he was truly gifted as a defensive lineman. In the DSFL, he knew his days of being a two-way player would be over because of the talent level. As the S23 DSFL draft approached, Harrison had several conversations with GMs, but they all had one question in common: “Would you be willing to play full time on defense?” Every GM agreed that Harrison projected better as a defensive end. Harrison struggled with this decision. He knew they were right. His skillset was perfect for the defensive line and that would be where he could make the biggest impact, but could he abandon his passion for the playing the tight end position?
After several long discussions with his teammates, friends, and family, Harrison decided he would commit to playing on the defensive side of the ball. It turned out better than he could have imagined. Joining the London Royals, he was a member of one of the most talented defenses in the DSFL and poised to make a big splash. His DSFL career is off to a rocky start, but the foundation is there for a big bounce back.

From his humble beginnings, Busch Light did not know what to expect when he graduated from Alabama to pursue his dreams in the NSFL. On that fateful draft day, when Light would be drafted in the second round by the London Royals, everything would change. He quickly got to work in the weight room and on the field. Mastering the playbook, building up his strength, and gaining the quickness to compete for the top of the depth chart. That draft day was a turning point that changed his career. Light had always been a team player that wanted the best. He was okay with sitting on the bench and waiting his turn if it was the best for the team. But after getting drafted in the second round, his ambition exploded. Light wants to be a champion not only as a team but as an individual. He strives to be drafted high in the NSFL, and to win individual awards. He puts up stellar performances week after week for the Royals. The team may not be competing as well as expected at the beginning of the season, but has goals have expanded. Since that draft day Light wants to be a playmaker. Whether it be forcing turnovers or winning individual awards. Light has a bright future ahead, and now all eyes are on the next turning point in his career. Draft day into the NSFL.

Blackstone isn't that old or very experienced in the league although into his third season some would start to call him a veteran. Because of this, he hasn't had to deal with many career altering decisions, thankfully. The most difficult part for Blackstone actually has been dealing with the fame. Blackstone was a solid prospect and did well at almost level that he has played at, but since hitting the pros Immanuel Blackstone has seen a whole new level of success. First, he won defensive rookie of the year in S20, the season he played in the DSFL. Then he won defensive rookie of the year and even earned a pro bowl nod in his NSFL rookie season, S21. As if that weren't enough, he raised the stakes even higher and won the inaugural Defensive End of the Year award and another pro bowl designation in the following season. As if he couldn't go any higher, the same season, he helped the Colorado Yeti win their first ever championship. Because of all this, he has accomplished quite a bit in a short period of time. He is now noticed wherever he goes and has started to really catch a following of fans on twitter. To that end, he also has a following of h8ters as well. Blackstone has had to work hard to keep all of this attention from getting to him, especially when the Yeti reached out to his to extend his contract (which he did for another two seasons).

Well, I'm only in my second season so there hasn't been much of a dramatic change for my player yet. I could say though I have had a huge linked chain of events that lead to me to this point. First, I would regularly watch the other simulation football on television. That lead me to finding my way here when I randomly saw a sim football post on reddit. If not for the first the second never happens, and if not for finding that reddit post, I would have never found my way here.
I created, joined the discord, joined the forums, but was confused about people being confused when I described the "other" league. I wondered if I went to the wrong spot. Turns out, I ended up joining two different leagues, and I had to decide which to dedicate myself to. I wasn't willing to pay for something, I wasn't sure of so I came here.
That delay in my decision ultimately hurt my draft profile. I still have unread messages from scouts and recruiters that I look back on now and wonder what would go different if I read and responded quick enough? I planned to answer everyone, but didnt realize the draft occurred 2-3 days in advance and I was too late. Would have I still ended up on London or would have I went to Tijuana, Minnesota, Norfolk, or Dallas? I'm not sure, but I do wonder if I would have still made the Ultimini? What if I ended up keeping Tijuana out the title game? What if I helped some other team win their first title? Would I still had a great learning experience in the locker room? Would Baltimore still draft me since a fifth of their roster is from London?
A lot of questions, but for now I'm contempt with where I'm at.
