Lo Rax has a pretty recent favorite memory. Sure, Lo had a standout career at the Riverside Institute of Tech, and continued that at the SUNY University at Buffalo... but frankly, those two programs don't even come close to rivaling the larger known football programs in the south, like Lake Travis HS or the Crimson Tide. As such, Rax entered the DSFL draft as a relative unknown, slipping into the 3rd round before being drafted. Rax played out his DSFL season, putting up nice numbers, but he wasn't near the top of any leader boards defensively, or even at his position.
Going in the NSFL draft, Rax had realistic expectations: He'd likely go somewhere toward the back half of the second round, to a team who was rebuilding. None of that was a problem for Rax, he was used to being overlooked by teams for players who had flashier numbers, or came from better programs. He was willing to help out a team who might be a few years from making a real push. So, on draft night, Rax wasn't really paying a whole lot of attention in round one, as names were coming off the board.
That is, until the New Orleans Second Line pick flashed across the bottom of the screen... Defensive End: Lo Rax. The young DL didn't believe what he was seeing- was that his name? What? Then, the phone rang. It was the NOLA head office. They'd loved the progression they'd seen out of him over his year in the DSFL, and they needed help on their DL immediately. Rax had gone in the first round, and he'd be stepping in day 1 as a starter for the reigning champion Second Line. It was an unbelievable turn of events, and one of the greatest nights of Rax's career- if not the best. It's something he won't forget every day when he hits the gym, heads to practice, or, when contract negotiations roll around.
