Ben Longshaw - Media Day

[dropbear]

1. What is special about Ben Longshaw?
2. Do you think you can handle the edge rushers in this draft?
3. Where do you predict you will be picked?

1 - I'm a true team-first guy, and I have the history to back it up. I've played my entire football career locally, turning down offers from some of the biggest football programs in the country to bring some success to the teams that mean something to me. I'll bring that loyalty to the NSFL. This is a clean slate - whoever drafts me is drafting a guy who's gonna retire in that same jersey.

2 - Absolutely. I live for protecting the guys behind me, and because I'm thinking more about protecting them and helping their performance than specifically about my own play, I play better than the guys who just want to have "a good game". You know when you get that adrenaline rush when someone you care about is in trouble, and you feel like a super hero? That's me every time the ball is snapped, and it sets me apart from the guys just looking to make bank or become a superstar.

3 - I've heard rumors that teams are interested in me early, and I've seen the leaked scouting report from the SaberCats who say that the QB needs me there. But I tend not to put too much stock into those kinda things. I'm confident in myself and in my tape regardless, and I feel like I'm gonna go in the first round.
