(S28) PT1 - Draft Day

[xtitanxmvpx]

This last draft was a trip for me as Gragg9, myself, and other mockers went hard at trying to figure out where everyone was going to go. I certainly took to a few locker rooms in particular as they opened up to me. The biggest ones were Yellowknife at the start and then Philly once Pat remembered to give me an invite. The coolest thing was that I learned I had quite a bit in common with the Philly locker room and that really motivated me to try and get there. Over time, I won the hearts of Pat and Cody and now we are here.

I think Philly is the perfect place for me going forward. I can’t wait to get up to the ISFL level and play alongside Jimi DeSoto and that defense that looks really promising right now. The rebuild is strong and I think in the next year or two we will be contenders for a trophy. My draft class was insane for the Liberty and with all those pieces coming up. CJ Sonjack, Lonnie Jackson, and Romulus Roman are all superstars for their teams right now at the DSFL level.

Talking about my position in the draft, I’m really proud of going in the top five. It was one of my goals through this whole thing to be considered first round talent and I worked hard to put out good content and be a good leader for the Pythons throughout the year. I’m very appreciative that Pat and Cody wanted me in Philly and that's going to really continue to motivate me going forward. I can see some great friendships coming from the whole experience as well which is the icing on the cake.
