(S30) PT 3 - Short-Term Goals

[Fronk]

John Huntsman is in the dog days of his DSFL career. Season one went surprisingly well with the switch to running back and the Minnesota Grey Ducks having a positive season, but narrowly missing the playoffs due to division alignments. Huntsman was recognized as a nomination for the Offensive Rookie of the Year in the DSFL awards and frankly overlooked in other category nominations. Nomination is as far as Huntsman would get though.

Season two was more exciting with Huntsman being a send down for the hot Sarasota Sailfish and the potential successor to the running back position. Huntsman controlled the leaderboards in the DSFL throughout the season and earned nominations for Offensive Most Valuable Player, League Most Valuable Player, and Running Back of the Year. Huntsman’s dominance might have led Minnesota to their Ultimini win, but award voters must have been bored by Minnesota and gave recognition to other running backs down the lists.

Season three is upon us and Huntsman continues to run the ball. The magic of the DSFL, award potential, and development has gone from a roaring fire to a flickering ember. I guess the potential for a Minnesota repeat is what is driving him currently, but Season 31 can not come any sooner.
