7) I want to begin by stating that this was an experience that has been like no other for me. I am completely new to sim leagues - honestly was not aware that they even existed. However, when I saw the post on the r/nfl subreddit sometime in the beginning of January, I was quite intrigued to see what this league was about. And I have to say, it has been nothing like I expected. Frankly, it's been even better. I was quite overwhelmed at first. It was a significant amount to take in all at once, plus having to learn my way around the website. However, I picked it up in no time. I had some help from DSFL mentors along the way to get started off on the right foot. Now, I was getting ready for the draft process. I never would have thought that getting scouted could be so fun. It's such a wild ride - and even though I will say that not every conversation I had was quite as personable, most were just some fun, personal conversations. Trying to sell yourself to a team that frankly know next to nothing about you is such a cool experience, even though it was overwhelming at times. I was finally drafted by the Minnesota Grey Ducks, and looking back on it now I absolutely would not have it any other way. I've met so many great people in the Minny locker room, too many to list out here. I just want to convey that the sense of community in that locker room has been like no other discord I have ever been a part of. A big thing that I enjoy about my current locker room at Minny is continuous engagement with a great group of people! I always feel like I could strike up a conversation with my teammates about anything - whether it be about the league, personal life, or whatever else. As for my player, my stats were quite mediocre to be honest. However, I have no doubt that next season will be better for my player, because for the first 7 weeks or so my player was still developing into the playmaker I know he can be! I was just drafted 8th overall by Yellowknife, and I honestly cannot be anymore excited. Frankly, I did not assume that I would get drafted in the first round, let alone 8th overall! There were so many great prospects in this draft, so it genuinely was an honor to be taken amongst some other amazing users. I'm super excited for what the future holds for Andrew Warthol, and I hope to make my name known very soon!

10) Andrew Warthol was drafted into the DSFL at the beginning of the S27 season to the Minnesota Gray Ducks. He was taken in the second round, far higher than he was expecting. However, with this added confidence, he was ready to crush the DSFL and prove to the world why he was taken so high. However, this was not exactly how the season went for him. In fact, there were many games where he actually was disappointed in his performance. In total, Warthol only achieved 29 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, and two forced fumbles. However, on only 29 tackles, seven of them were sacks. He was pretty proud of that. But, even with the high sack numbers, these stats weren't at all satisfactory for him. In week one, Warthol got off to an extremely slow start by only recording two tackles in his DSFL debut. After the game, he was frustrated with himself. He did not feel like he was living up to his full potential. And while week two he still feels he did not display how good he could truly be, he still recorded 3 tackles and a fumble - much better than the previous week. Weeks 3, 4, and 5 were defining low-lights for Warthol, however. In these three weeks, he only recorded 4 tackles in total and was completely shut out of week 3, recording no stats. Week 6, however, is when he recorded his first sack. From then on, he stepped up his game. His highlight game was week 9, against the Kansas City Coyotes. He recorded 3 tackles, two of which were tackles for loss, and one was a sack that resulted in a safety. The rest of the weeks were relatively the same for him, getting around 3 tackles and usually a sack. Would he consider this a good season? No, he wouldn't. However, he has began seeing what he can truly do in the DSFL. He started to gain his footing, so there is no doubt in his mind that he can reek havoc next season. He has some specific goals - He wants to be nominated for the Defensive End of the Year of the DSFL next season. While there is certainly some tough competition that he is up against, he surely feels that he is up to the task in accomplishing such an achievement. He knows he is capable of double-digit sacks, he knows he is capable of double digit tackles-for-loss, now it's a matter of leaving it all out on the field and trying his best. Look out for his name next season. You'll be hearing it a lot.
