(S28) PT1 - Draft Day

[deadlunatic]

I am a part of the soon to be legendary season 25 draft class. We were a reddit class, I believe as of now, we are the second biggest class of draftees ever. I wasn't drafted until the ninth round of the DSFL draft.  Granted, I created right before the draft and I slacked off the first week a bit, so I was bound to fall. I talked to a lot of recruiters, and I had no real idea where I was going, but I did not think it was Tijuana. Obviously, I am now very happy to have been drafted there, along with the rest of our season 25 class. So after that, I had an ok season, I did a good job earning, but hard to produce behind Howlett and Vequain. So, when the draft came around, I remember having good conversations with quite a few teams. It was pretty hard to narrow it down to which team wanted me the most. With the expansion happening the same season, teams ended up with way more needs than they would have had normally. Which made it even harder to decide where I would ultimately end up. In the end, I went in the fourth round to the Yellowknife Wraiths. And I ended up getting the call up after they lost a receiver in the expansion draft. While it was unexpected, I was also happy to be called up so soon. I think I had the Wraiths somewhere in the middle of the pack as far as where I would end up. Could not be happier to be a part of the Wraiths. Overall, it was a great experience.
