The London Royals came into their inaugural year as the underdog of the league. Expansion rival Dallas Birddogs were ranked slightly higher by most people’s metrics. Despite starting out a steep TPE disadvantage, the Royals grew at a rate that far surpassed any other team. Week in and week they put in the work. As it stands now, there’s 3-4 Royals that are projecting to go in the first 3 rounds of the NSFL draft. In the end, London won 5 games, and was challenging for a playoff position up until the last 2 weeks. The Royals had a run heavy offense championed by Skyline and Batista, that put up the 4th most yards per game in the league. In the coming year, the Royals should look to improve on that by giving their QB, Colby Jack, some more weapons on offense. On defense, the Royals need more help on the line. They boasted one of the better secondaries in the league, but they need to expand on the rest of that defense. With only 1 solid LB, they could use some help there as well. I think it’s safe to say that barring any major callups, the Royals are in good position to be playoff contenders next year with some additions on both sides of the ball. The Royals have an advantage compared to other DSFL teams, in that all their players are new players, which means they are less likely to be called up due to TPE concerns. This gives the Royals a solid 1 year window next year to have likely the best team in the league along with the Birddogs.
