(S30) PT 3 - Short-Term Goals

[Painted]

Soulja's rookie season with Chicago has gone pretty well so far. We have won 3 games so far and hoping to pull off at least a couple more. Individually, Soulja shined in just his first game, notching an epic interception against his old teammate and interception king himself, Ryan Negs. That play alone has meant the season has been a success to him, and with the for fun bet made with Negs he even got some cash for it too!

Over the season, Soulja now has 17 passes defended and 40 tackles, averaging 4 a game. Some modest stats for the rookie, but equally impressive as an outside corner. But if he wants to start getting into the running for DROY, these numbers need to be jumpstarted and fast. He’s currently second in both passes defended and tackles of the rookie corners, behind just Lip Gallagher. But his one interception is the real killer. Both voters and nominees really value passes defended and turnovers over everything else, especially for the defensive back position. What would really help his case would be a defensive touchdown. Voters rave over scoring, and racking up just one will definitely give him the edge over his competition! If Soulja just gets one or two lucky plays this season, I am sure you will see him on the ballot. And just being nominated for DROY, he will see that as a successful season!
