Ricky Maddox stepped up to the occasion without too much of a resume when it comes to the sim league business. Without too much of taking a chance on his skills, he quickly rose up the Tight End ratings. Currently listed as the top overall TE right now. During the regular season, he managed to net the most receiving yards in his position (422), second in receptions both as a tight end (63), second most to MVP candidate Josh Garden and third on the Yellowknife Wraiths for reception yards.
Consistency is the name of Maddox's game. Easily being one of the leagues best chain movers, demonstrated best on what was his breakout game where he caught 6 passes from Chris Orosz, including a clutch catch on third down and two late in the fourth quarter, down and needing to score to take the lead. Orosz trusted the security blanket and he easily delivered in what ended up being a game winning drive for the Wraiths against the SaberCats. That game helped move Yellowknife into first place of the division at that time in Week 13. It is also noted that Maddox let the team in receptions for the Wraiths in 8 of the 14 games this year. After a semi slow start, the dropping issue diminished and the playmaking ability became very apparent as he still owns the longest reception for a Tight End is made by no one other than Ricky Maddox.
Other than the receiving role that he was glad to do for the Wraiths, Ricky was also a dominate force blocking as well. Although Maddox fell short of 20 pancakes on the year (19), he was part of the best TE blocking duo in the NSFL. Paired up with fellow TE Rolf Larsendorf, they led TE duos in pancakes (21 for RL) with 40 pancakes. Ricky's 19 pancakes was the fourth most of of Tight Ends behind Rolf on the season stats.
Despite not coming up with a touchdown, Ricky has set up many touchdown/FG position caliber drives for the Wraiths. If not recording any points for the team is a valid reason to keep him off the list, he's perfectly fine with that, however it's very easy to see that he will be on the list in plenty of times in the future.
Now it's up to you to decide. Do the lack of touchdowns outweigh the overall production of Ricky's rookie season? Honestly, I don't think it should but that decision is in your hands. He was drafted at lucky #50 in the Inaugural Draft. So to say that all 49 players ahead of him produced to the quality that Ricky Maddox has would be a travesty and you'd be lying to yourself. Keep that in mind. Active in the community, the football field, and the bank. Honestly, what more could you ask for?
