14)Create an argument for your own player, or for someone else on your team, as to why they should be nominated for awards. Lay out their stats or compare them to other contenders. Make a convincing case.

Doug Howlett ended the season with a phenomenal statistic line and helped the Tijuana Luchadores return back to the playoffs in the top seed he also was among the top in all categories for WR. Doug Howlett had 76 receptions which was the highest of all receivers while also contesting for targets with fellow maxed WR Fred Vequain, rookie stud Mark Walker, pass catching back Crowbar Theeks and tight end Thomas "the tank" Engine. This stat is often overlooked but to me it is an important facet to have a receiver that at team can rely on to make those 3rd down 13 yard catches to move the sticks. Howlett also cracked 1,000 yards for a second straight season, the second wide receiver in DSFL history to ever have two one thousand yard seasons (The first being Hasselhoff, F. in Season 9/10). Howlett came in fourth amongst Wide Receivers for the largest average (min. 50 receptions) and third in touchdowns at seven. Again, Howlett, unlike many other receivers, was sharing the ball with some of the greatest weapons in the DSFL currently but still managed to make the record books with his repeared 1,000 yard season and receptions total. If Howlett doesn't win WROTY who knows what type of chip that's going to create heading into the ISFL. (219)


26) Select any player who was drafted in the back half of a DSFL or ISFL draft. Show how that player has outperformed their draft position, or how they will soon do so. You cannot write about your own player.

The Tijuana Luchadores have been a powerhouse in recent years for creating and empowering fantastic Wide Receiver talent. This includes the likes of Fred Vequain, Jackson Kingston and Doug Howlett. For the past 3 seasons the lead role has been divided between Fred Vequain and Doug Howlett but with both now ascending to the ISFL the Wide Receiver room is shallow and will need assistance. This is where my pick for the player outperforming their draft position comes into play. Mark Walker, Wide Receiver out of Baylor University. Mark Walker was drafted in the DSFL at pick #78 but demanded atleast a top 50 pick. He is currently sitting at DSFL cap (250) and will be able to fill the vacated role left by both Howlett and Vequain. His Quarterback play should remain consistent with Boss still having a fair way to go before being called up so he won't have inconsistencies from that and Tijuana will need to either draft a wide receiver or trade for one. Needless to say that his earning has outperformed his draft position as he is now THE top receiver from his class. We can expect another great wide receiver alumni with Walker in the years to come.
