The crowd is empty except for a few low level reporters, nobody notices as Tom Sofa takes the stage. In fact they believe him to be the the volunteer assigned to disassembling the podium. After three attempts at getting their attention by clearing his throat they finally realize that he is actually a player and he is awaiting questions.
Come draft day I just sat waiting and waiting to find out where I would go, rounds went by, hours went by, heck it even felt like days may have went by and eventually I finally got that locker room invite. Upon arriving to the locker room everyone was excited to have me and considered me a great steal as a 271st pick and as a "Mr. Irrelevant." Do I carry a chip on my shoulder? Not really, but do I want the other teams to feel like they have made 270 wrong decisions? Heck yes.

Lance Alvarez, part-time NSFL/DSFL scout and full time reporter, here to ask you a couple of questions, if you don’t mind.Coming into the draft I knew I would be a low selection. Being a late addition to the draft pool, especially to such an overpopulated position, I expected to be taken late to a team that probably would try to convince me to position change. I never had plans of position changing and any teams that approached me I would tell. As we got closer to the draft I only had one team contact me and they wanted me to play somewhere other than QB so I told them it would not be a good fit.
As the last pick in the draft, do you think that you’re playing with a chip on your shoulder now? Are you inspired to prove the teams that passed on you wrong with a solid performance this season?

When I first made it to the locker room everyone was so positive and I immediately got some great vibes. I've started to warm up to everyone and there really is no weird drama or divas that you might get with other teams. I think anyone who wants to be on a DSFL team should make Myrtle Beach their #1 destination.

Why or why not?I think any team can win the Ultimini in any season. This is a developmental league so we are all on the same level physically. That being said there is a difference when it comes to building a championship team and that comes down to coaching and culture, and I believe that Myrtle Beach has the championship caliber coaching and culture that will bring us that title.

What qualities do you have that will make you successful there?I'm sorry I think you mean Tom. As for my long term plans I definitely do intend on staying at QB; that was my position yesterday, it is my position now and it will be my position tomorrow. The qualities I believe that will lend success to my plans is my determination and my strong arm. Teams undervalue the strong arm I think in this league, but I know there will be one smart team in the NSFL draft that will put faith into me, let me grow into the player they need and finally show the NSFL what a real QB looks like.
