I was working up until the Season 22 NSFL draft began. Over the previous couple weeks, I had communicated with scouts from almost every NSFL team. Some went better than others, but I was super happy with how they went overall. I was part of a pretty stacked NSFL draft class alongside other high TPE RBs who were also very consistent contributors. Many NSFL teams did not really need an RB and so I was able to eliminate quite a few teams from my potential landing spots. Other teams really didn’t have enough high picks to draft around where I thought I should go or had to fill in more glaring holes with those picks; especially since I wasn’t very eager to switch positions. Overall, I had narrowed it down to maybe 3 or 4 places I was fairly confident I’d go.
Gucci’s player was the first RB taken off the board near the end of the first or beginning of the second round, I can’t quite remember. This was certainly not surprising as he was really the only high TPE RB recreate who also had GM experience. I knew there would be a decent break because of the depth of the RB class, but with the 6th pick of the 4th round, I was selected by the Austin Copperheads.
This certainly wasn’t a huge surprise as they had to eventually replace and aging veteran, however, I certainly did not expect to be the second RB taken in the draft…I had thought maybe third or fourth was more realistic. However, I think my experience in the Dallas Locker Room with Copperheads’ players inverted and iSteg really put a good word in for me with the Austin brass.
Needless to say, I was elated. My path was clear. I was drafted to a competitive team with a good number of players that I get along with. Additionally, once their all-star RB hits regression, I would have a clear path to becoming a number 1 RB. This lit a fire in Kichwa, he needed to live up to his hype and prove that Austin made the right selection.
