Heading into the Season 22 NSFL Draft I knew where I was going to go. After the scouting process kicked off it became very clear to me that although I liked almost every team in the league and didn't want to pass too much judgment because internal locker rooms are different then how people act in other channels, that Austin was the team I wanted to go to. I spoke to Joe and Adam and informed them both that if it was possible for me to end up in Austin that I'd be ecstatic, and shortly after they traded with Honolulu for the first overall pick in the draft. At that point not only was it insinuated to do me that I'd be the selection, the conversations I was having with other teams took on a different flavor as more teams began tempering the excitement they had displayed to talk to me. The actual draft was both exciting and lackluster. Going first overall is a huge honor - something I won't soon forget - but in the same way knowing you're going first overall does remove a bit of the excitement that permeates the draft. The air of mystery about where you're going to go falls apart. At the same time the draft stream had technical issues and as a result my pick was only displayed for about 4 seconds before they moved on.
