I remember draft day very well, I had recently come off a decent debut season with the Minnesota Grey Ducks and was excited to see where I was going to end up. I found myself really wanting to go to an expansion team, particularily the New York SilverBacks because of my familiarity with Woelkers. The prospect of joining an expansion team was really exciting because it would give me an opportunity to achieve the rare pleasure of being the historic guy at a position, a legend type of player for an organization.
I ended up going in round 4 at pick number 56, I actually was super excited about this because I thought there was no way I would be going before the fifth round. This is mostly due to I hadn't really figured out how to earn at this point and was in a relatively deep class of DE's.
It was funny because I almost forgot it was draft night and I had remembered a little late and rushed to turn the TV on, my girlfriend chuckled at me and my silly fake football. But when I got picked the excitement was contagious because she actually seemed really excited for me as well, because I got to join the team that I wanted to be on, Which was the New York Silverbacks and the rest as they say, is history.
