Shawn Ariel was picked up by the Las Vegas Legion with the the #8 overall pick in the S4 NSFL Draft. At the time it seemed like a no brainer, Ariel although had recently went inactive, this man did tear up the DSFL for an entire season and falling to the Las Vegas Legion who at the time owned 5 of the 8 1st round picks for that draft seemed like it was meant to be.
Ariel however claimed to be ready for a comeback several times and each time it led to an extended period of inactivity untill he ultimately claimed he would retire, but never actually did. His NSFL corpse is still going strong, either on the depths of an NSFL teams depth chart or languishing in NSFL free agency.
A possible pro bowl, hall of famer's career washed away before it even began. He will only be a DSFL one hit wonder, no more, no less. This was Shawn Ariel's career, a career while spanning longer than Ezekiel Elliot's, remains just as embarrasing.
Shawn Ariel could've been a NSFL legend if it wasn't for the fact that his career took the same path as Johnny Manziel's in the NSFL. A career practically finished before it even begun, it leaves us all with questions of what he could've been, what he could've accomplished and who he could've been.
