The main thing that jumps out to me when I think about the most important “what if” questions relating to ISFL has to be about my own player.
What if I decided to create as a quarterback? When I first joined the league, I was *this* close to making a quarterback with an eye on becoming one of the greatest signal callers to ever suit up. I wanted the glory, the fame and all of the trappings that come with being a top-flight quarterback. I don’t know why I changed my mind at the last second, but I decided on safety and have been here ever since. I wonder, had I been a quarterback, if I would’ve signed with the Seawolves as a free agent? I think of all of those memories and friends I have in Norfolk and shudder to imagine a world without them. Would I have fallen down the draft boards? Would I have lost my passion for the league if I didn’t get picked as highly? And what about my DSFL career? Maybe I would still be down there to this day. What if I was drafted to a team without a quarterback need and ended up perennially riding the pine?
I certainly wouldn’t be in New York amongst my Silverback family, which is another potential that brings me heartache. Sure, safety isn’t the most glamorous position, but I wouldn’t trade all my friendships and experiences to go back in time to change my position. I’ve been in two of the best locker rooms and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
