(S2) - Weekend PT #4 - Drama!

[SwagSloth]

After entering the NSFL with high hopes, Running Back prospect Eric Kennedy quickly crashed and burned after discovering a much higher level of competition than what he had experienced back in his home state university of LSU. Despite playing for a top-level school, Kennedy was fortune enough to quickly win the featured Running Back role and became a big star on campus. However, when facing off against other promising players, he was quickly overshadowed by players such as Kylie Cobb, Darlane Farlane, and Adrie Savea. Many coaches consider adversity to be the thing that defines a player the most, but this newfound adversity brought out the worst in Kennedy, who developed a reputation among his fellow prospects as being difficult to deal with. While other Running Backs were projected as high picks in the upcoming Season Two draft, many experts expected Kennedy to go undrafted due to not only performance issues on the field, but also his unwillingness to deal with those issues in practice drills. Fortune shone upon the rookie, however, and the Yellowknife Wraiths took a chance on him with a late-round pick. Whether credit goes to the Yellowknife coaches for finding a way to reach this difficult player or Kennedy for simply realizing the second chance he’d been given, all reports indicate that this rookie’s attitude has drastically improved. Despite no longer being the star he was at LSU and being placed on the depth chart behind Bubba Nuck, who many consider to be the best Running Back in the NSFL, Kennedy continues to work hard to find a role in the Wraiths’ offense and to reward the faith that was placed in him when all others counted him out.
