James Gath had always dominated the game when he was younger. Attending a Division 2 college he continued to dominate. He showed up on tape, he won championships, and he did it all as the top competitor in his league. Then the DSFL came. Gath started week one after being taken number 2 overall with just as much confidence as when he left college. It didn't take much longer than the first quarter of week one for that to be reeled in. The Grey Ducks faced the Royals and Gath with all of his confidence was a part of the secondary that allowed 320 passing yards and 3 touchdowns.
This would have been bad enough if it weren't for a twitter tirade that Gath went on talking smack before the game started. On gameday just four hours before kickoff he tweeted: "I was getting nervous for tonight then I realized it's just the @RoyalsDSFL lol". That tweet would not age well. After a tirade of replies and justified smack talk back from Royals players, Gath was humiliated. Simply tweeting "Ready for week 2" after the game. This wake up call was something he hadn't had before in his life. Humbled, he continued to work on his game, but some believe his confidence is so shook that he'll never fully reach his potential.
