(S24) - PT 4 - Trial by Fire

[Rufio_NZ]

Doug Howlett has had an incredible career transitioning from his youth regaining surgery and adapting his skills from rugby into american football. His propulsion onto the scene had him as a very confident and arrogant young rookie who believed he demanded more touches. He went through his first season unscathed and with a Ultimini in hand. The following season was a complete turn around however, he had to work and earn his time on the field as the WR1 and became a huge challenge when he was finally matched up against opposing CB1's. Howletts immediate response was poor especially when he got knocked out and concussed on an awesome contested pass by Slothlisberger. Despite the injury he still came down with it and scored a touchdown, what a legend. He then considered his movements as sloppy and worked on his hands and feet a lot more intensely, focusing more on the finer things of his football skills. He had the rough and tumble down, as an ex rugby player he knew that all too well, he now needed the burst and agility needed to make defensive backs slip and trip. He rebounded phenomenally with a career high receiving yardage and td. Howlett is entering his final season in the DSFL as one of the greatest to hit the field for TIJ as a WR and hopes to have a ultimini run to cap it off.
