When I first found out that I had been drafted to the San Antonio Marshalls, I was elated. I believe that they have the strongest leadership team in the league and their coaching is without compare. All of us rookies showed up on the first day of camp and got to know one another, or reintroduce ourselves to old friends that we knew before the DSFL. The first day was one of the best memories of my life and I hope to never forget that high of meeting the team and coaches. However, it was not all sunshine and rainbows. We were looking forward to the first game so we could show what we could do and we're asking the coaching staff where we would play and what strategies we would use and the like; much to our chagrin, they informed us that most of us would not play. We laughed about it for sure it had to be a joke, they couldn't just draft us and then NOT play us, that would be ludicrous. Yet, game day rolled around and still, the coaches were tight-lipped about where we would slot in and panic began to set in. How could we make the team if we didn't play? Alas, those bastards held us out.
