(S8) - PT 1 - Draft Party

[SwagSloth]

Six seasons ago, Eric Kennedy had the thrill of being drafted by the Yellowknife Wraiths. It was a moment that would lead to many opportunities, but at the time, the future didn’t look so bright. Back then, the DSFL hadn’t yet been formed and prospects were gauged by their performances in prospect games. After being treated like a star at the college level, Kennedy found himself in over his head as a prospect and wasn’t able to hold up to scrutiny without the support of a traditional team environment.

On some level, Kennedy had given up. There was still a chance of being drafted, but he knew that he was at the back of the pack and it was going to be a long night either way. The 12th round came and Kennedy prepared for the worst. But then the call came. He was being drafted by the Yellowknife Wraiths. It wasn’t a big opportunity, but it was an opportunity nonetheless. He would only be a fullback and back-up to the former S1 MVP Bubba Nuck, but he made the most of it, going on to serve several roles of different varieties during his time with the team. Now, he enters the S8 season as the team’s top Wide Receiver. And it all started on that one fateful night.
