John Canton Gets Defensive Captain Nod.
This past Friday, June 9th, the San Jose Sabercats addressed the media to announce this year's team captains. The Sabercats made a splash when they listed small school rookie John Canton alongside #4 overall pick Alexander Selich. This kicks off Canton's introduction into the NSFL with flying colors as the once Power-5-scorned cornerback makes his presence felt.
Canton was the only prospect to come out of the MAC this year, and told the media teams would regret not taking him. Canton has always played with a chip on his shoulder, being passed up by big named schools he made it his goal to be drafted. At the draft he went in the 10th round, winding up on the Sabercats, a team who had obviously done their homework. A spokesman for the team was quoted saying, "John Canton will go down as one of the biggest steals of the inaugural hands down."
Canton faced a baptism by fire, going up against star receiver, and second overall pick in the draft, Josh Garden. Canton held Garden to under 50 yards receiving and broke up one pass, but did allow a touchdown. After that, Canton found his rhythm and over the next 3 games achieved another pass defensed, an interception, and most importantly, no more touchdowns allowed.
Canton will be going up against the #1 receiver most of the time, and he assures me he is looking forward to the challenge. "I want to show this league what I've got. Show them these guys from smaller schools really can ball. I want to be the best I can be, and help my team succeed along the way."
