The offseason was a good one for the Portland Pythons. We got a very good looking group of rookies to add to our already strong groups on both sides of the ball, and it looks like we should be able to compete for an Ultimini trophy this season. On the defensive side, we did a nearly complete overhaul of the secondary, bringing in two stud cornerbacks in Lawrence Miller and Kita Chiasa, who along with returning safeties Moe Skeeter and Evan Jones, should bring a no fly zone to the field when they are out. Also joining the squad up front is power rushing linebacker Kevin Morrison and big tackle Carter Fox. Those two will be making every quarterbacks life hell on earth for a long time. Add to that returning defensive end Demon Jaxson, who I would be surprised to see him win some defensive hardware this season, and late addition in edge rusher Dawuan Madison looks to be a nice pickup for the Pythons, rounding out an already impressive defense that looks like one of the best in the league. I expect us to ball out every game, leading the Pythons to a Ultimini title much like the Devner Broncos defense carried them to a super bowl in 2016.
