Ryan Sierra – DT – Orange County Otters
Season 6 – PT #1
Draft Day Fever
Remembering something so fresh in my mind, has me eliciting those emotions and feelings that make Draft Day so fun and memorable. The day where so many amateur athletes have worked their young careers for. A moment where talent scouts and analysts have spent every waking moment leading up to the event preparing to make their presentations. General managers careers are defined by their success in selecting the right talents and personalities for their organizations. Draft day has so much impact on the viability and structure of the franchise, they mock the possible selections months in advance, only to re-mock and scrutinize each potential selection. When the team gets their guy, it may take one season or many seasons for it to pan out, but the benefits of a successful draft have lasting significance.
What sticks out to me in my day in the sun, is the fact I was surrounded by the friends and family whom I love and love me. Sharing these moments with the most impactful people of my life is a blessing. The organizations who drafted me, first into the DSFL, the Tijuana Luchadores, then second, to the NSFL’s Orange County Otters will forever be the greatest and most influential employers of my young career. There will never be another day like Draft Day.
