(S28) PT1 - Draft Day

[Vaelynn]

There I was – caught up in the big lights of Cleveland where the draft was held. It was amazing to be surrounded by such incredible talent being drafted into the International Simulation Football League. To be compared to the likes of Luke Quick, Busch Goose, and Stumpy Jones was surreal. I mean some of these guys were truly icons in the DSFL, so to all be in the same room (social distancing of course – everything changed after the great pandemic of 2020) with the cameras pointed at us was amazing. I can’t say I ended up where I thought I would, but I am so happy to have ended up in New Orleans. The Second Line have been incredible for the last few years, several trips to the Ultimus and even a victory or three in their history is more than enough of a legacy for any draftee to be proud of. I’ll remember the image of Mithrandir holding up my jersey and calling my name for the rest of my life. To think, I’ll be playing next to future Hall of Famer Slothlisberger, playing under the proud colors of the Second Line.

Draft Day was great, and I couldn’t be more happy to have landed where I did. Looking forward to being called up, but in the meantime I’ll continue to refine my skills in the DSFL.
