The season twenty-three National Simulation Football League draft was a complete shock for me. I came into the league with high hopes and a lot of motivation, and while I hoped to be drafted as high as I possibly could, I was expecting to go sometime around the late second round or early third round. Being selected by the San Jose Sabercats at sixth overall in the first round completely shattered my expectations, and is still unbelievable. The moment I heard them say my name I was so excited and grateful to the San Jose general managers for the trust and belief they showed in taking me, an offensive skill positional player, that early in the draft. I was ecstatic when I was drafted twenty-second overall by the Minnesota Grey Ducks in the season twenty-two DSFL draft, so going at such an earlier pick in the big leagues was a blessing. With so many options out there that early, being taken means I'll have to prove that I wasn't a reach, and I plan on doing so on and off the field by doing whatever is needed to bring my team an ultimus trophy. San Jose made a gamble on me, and I won't let them down.
