Ryan Negs, QB, MINNESOTA
Negs was taken with the first overall pick in the S25 DSFL draft and immediately filled the void at QB for the Grey Ducks. He helped lead the team to the postseason where they fell short to the London Royals.
Looking at his stats for this past season, it’s clear that Minnesota wanted to give him ample opportunity to throw the football and develop as a passer. As a result, he had the second highest passing attempts, behind only Jackie Daytona by 8 attempts. Perhaps expectedly, the results were mixed. He threw 13 touchdowns to 13 interceptions, and completed just 53.2% of his passes, landing him at the bottom of the completion percentage category.
However, despite completing just over half of his passes, Negs wound up with the second most passing yards in the league, showcasing his ability to rip off large chunk plays with a sneaky good deep ball.
With plenty of reps under his belt and the keys to the Minnesota offense firmly in his grasp, expect Ryan Negs to take a leap statistically next season, and look for him to go as high as the 2nd round in the coming ISFL draft as teams begin searching for their QB of the future..

18) Choose your favorite non-playoffs game of this season, whether your own team or another. Explain what was so special and why the winner ultimately came out victorious, including key players and moments.
The final game of the DSFL regular season for the Grey Ducks was arguably one of the most exciting games of the entire season. The storyline was rich, as both the Kansas City Coyotes and the Grey Ducks needed a win to make it into the playoffs. The Ducks had lost badly when the two teams first met in Kansas City, but now with the opportunity to defend their home turf, the Grey Ducks were in a much better position to win.
It can’t go without being mentioned that QB Matt Peterson of KCC was drafted by Minnesota in the S24 draft, expected to be their QB of the future. Unfortunately, internal strife between Peterson and Front Office over playing time behind the nearly inactive Sim Snowbow led to Peterson requesting a trade. They ended up negotiating a 3rd round pick from KCC for their disgruntled QB.
More than just the drama and stakes surrounding the game, it was how tightly contested that game was that made it one of the best games of the season. Both teams went back and forth, scoring points seemingly at will. KCC took the lead early with a touchdown, but a strong defensive performance by Minnesota in the 4th quarter shut out the KCC defense, giving QB Ryan Negs and the offense the opportunities needed to score 10 points and eventually secure the victory. 26-21, Grey Ducks.

10) Pick any position, and determine who in your view is the greatest player to ever suit up at that position. Why do you view them as the GOAT? What achievements, records, accolades, or statistics do they hold? How do they stack up against the other legends in their position, and why does your chosen candidate come out on top?
Since Wasrabi Gleel is a linebacker, I decided to take a look at the Hall of Fame players at the position to see what sort of production is needed to have a HoF career, and also, to determine who is the GOAT at the LB position. I should clarify first that I only looked at players who were listed as ONLY linebackers, and not players that played multiple positions including DT, DE, or S in addition to playing LB. Furthermore, I was only able to check out the stats for players that had completed Wiki pages, so if there were no available stats to look at, then that player isn’t up for consideration. (Remember your wiki updates, people!)
With that being said, the question of who is the best LB of all time in the ISFL comes down to:
Austin Roenick, Jaylon Lee, Johnathon Saint, and Harrif Ernston. Let me be clear in saying that all of these players are tremendous, and their status of being HoF reflects that, but we’re here to find out who's the best of the best.
Starting with Awards, the second most awarded player of the bunch is Jaylon Lee with 9 team awards and 5 pro bowl nods. He leads the HoFers with 4 Ultimus victories. However, the top spot in terms of awards goes to Harrif Ernston, who won 6 team awards and 8 individual rewards including three LBotY awards and one DPotY award--both things Jaylon Lee never won. Advantage: Ernston.
Moving onto stats, I think that the player that gets an edge is Austin Roenick purely based on the fact he’s played more games than any of the other linebackers. However, the stat king in this group is by far Harrif Ernston.Here are the stat leaders:
Games Played: 166 (Austin Roenick)
Tackles: 1235 (Austin Roenick)
TFL: 45 (Harrif Ernston)
Sacks: 108 (Harrif Ernston)
INTs: 14 (Harrif Ernston)
PDs: 102 (Harrif Ernston)
Ernston was an absolute game-changer whenever he was on the field, but somewhat surprising is his lack of tackles (790) compared to some of the others on this list. It seems like he mastered big splash plays, but was less of an every-down tackler like Austin Roenick. Still, it’s easy to see how he won so many accolades during his career. Advantage: Ernston.
After learning more about Harrif Ernston, I think I have enough information to officially declare him as the GOAT at the LB position in the ISFL, but I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge all of these players stellar careers, especially Austin Roenick who by far had the most tackles of any of these linebackers. If you were building a team around players from the entire ISFL history, you couldn’t go wrong picking any of these players to become your field general.
