(S23) - PT 4 - The Butterfly Effect

[Exilizer]

The turning point in Derred de Ville's career came when he got the call late one evening. It was spring in London, though you wouldn't know it from the constant gray and rainy weather. On the phone was someone from the National Simulation Football League, asking Derred to declare for the DSFL draft, a rare honor for an overseas player, who had spent most of his career up to that point on a college team in the UK.

While he was delighted by the call, now that meant that a difficult decision would have to be reached. Derred had to consider if he wanted to leave friends and family behind, his home town and go to the USA. After discussing it with those closest to him and spending a good few days pondering the decision, Derred made up his mind.

Draft day came, and it turned out Derred didnt have to move, at least not yet, as he was drafted to the London Royals a brand new overseas expansion team. This immensely helped him make the transition to pro football as he could spend his rookie season with his family and friends.

Derred now has been known to commute regularly between London and Baltimore in the off-season, and has settled in nicely to his NSFL career.
