The Wraiths picked up a few new bodies this offseason, so I'll do a brief run through of a few of them.
First: Cornerback Jake Verdan of the Kansas City Coyotes. He could possibly step up and, at some point down the line, fill the shoes of veteran defensive stalwart Dermot Lavelle, who is in his tenth season and is still playing lights out, hauling in eight interceptions last season. Verdan was a nice piece, and a ball hawk, for the Coyotes, picking off four passes of his own last season to go along with a pair of forced fumbles. As a matter of fact, he's a potential turnover machine, and a good tackler, racking up 86 of them last year along with one tackle for a loss, impressive numbers for a cornerback.
The other player that we'll be reviewing today is linebacker Ray Slick, coming from my own Portland Pythons. Slick was a solid player last season at the second level, racking up seventy tackles and notching three sacks to go along with an interception. Notable, Slick, along with Jake Verdan, was in his first year of DSFL competition, so both of these guys are high-upside players who passed up a year of sure-fire dominance in the DSFL in order to compete at the highest level. These two guys could be a pair of players who help the Wraiths get past a transition and minor rebuild in order to contend for another Ultimus title.
