(S23) - PT2 - Draft Day

[Blasoon]

I remember on the night of the National Simulation Football League season twenty-two draft, I was making sure to stay up all night, waiting to see where I ended up. Obviously, I knew that as a quarterback, I would end up sliding in the draft, but I had one big ideal in mind. In the Developmental simulation football league draft, I fell all the way to the one hundred and eighteenth pick, that was kind of soul crushing, I will not sugar-coat it. But coming into this draft, all I wanted, was to be drafted before pick one hundred. Going into the draft, I had no idea really, which team would take me. I knew I was not attractive, as a pick, but I really hoped my personality would carry me through. If anything, I thought that maybe the Orange County Otters, or one of the expansion teams might have picked me, because I remember having really great conversations with them, in the scouting process. So, when I was picked with the ninety fourth overall pick by the Philadelphia Liberty, I was a bit taken aback, because I think it wasn’t one I was expecting at all. But looking back at it, there was still a huge feeling of elation when I was picked, and I still look back fondly on that day.
