Let us have a discussion about the current Defensive Rookie of the Year race in the ISFL, and why Greedy Sly is in my opinion the front runner for the award. Currently Greedly leads all rookies with an impressive 78 tackles over the first 10 games of the season. Likewise, he boasts an impressive 7 passes defended which highlights his prowess to make plays on the ball whilst it’s still in the air. Filling up the stat sheet across the board, he also has a TFL, a FF, and an interception on the season. While it’s fair to say you might like to see the interceptions number crank up a bit over the next six weeks, its safe to say on the whole the first year safety has had an excellent season with the tied for first Colorado Yeti defensive side. It has become trendy in past years to downgrade a player's chances at an award if they play out of the nickel back position, but that seems uncalled for in my opinion. Greedy has done everything you could ask of a rookie in the league, and all signs point that there's more to come from the young safety prospect. Look forward to seeing his name called come awards time in the off season, and hopefully for Ultimus MVP.
