16. This task is exclusive to recreate/non-recreate rookies of the S32 class and later. The season is over and the draft is coming up. What do you bring to a team, and why should a team choose to take a chance on you next season?Coming in as a brand new player, i'm excited to see what Kellan Frost is able to bring to the table. Standing at 6'4 and 250lbs, Frost is a defensive end with alot to prove. Similarly, being a new user to the ISFL i'm looking forward to kicking my first ever football sim player's career off right and dive in headfirst. I will definitely be bringing activity as I plan on updating weekly to constantly improve my player. While i've never participated in a football sim league before, I have been an active user over at the Simulation Hockey League (SHL) since late 2019. I'm looking to join a club with knowledgeable coaches to put my player in the best position to win. I'm not concerned about individual accolades and accomplishments. I only want to see my team succeed and I'm willing to do whatever I can to make that a reality.
Frost is a speed rushing defensive end where I plan to use a combination of speed and agility to fight through the block and make a plan on the ball carrier. Aside from focusing on speed and agility, strength and tackling ability are just as equally important in my mind. I don't want to simply make a tackle but also have a chance to knock the ball loose and have our defense make a recovery.

25. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why?I was seriously interested in creating a player with many different positions in mind. At first I was looking into developing a QB but saw there wasn't a real need for one at the time I created - same goes for a running back. I enjoyed playing defense when I played football growing up in middle school and into high school. There's something about making good consistent clean tackles and even forcing a fumble every now and then. I never had the built to be anything but a defensive back so having the opportunity to create a large defensive end was something I got really excited about. More importantly, I wanted to create an agile defensive end that has both the ability to shed the blocks and get to the player as quick as possible. It's one thing for DE's to be large and clog up the RB lanes between the tackles. But being a stout defensive end is about closing that outside off and pushing the ball carrier back towards the middle of the field. You look at guys like JJ Watt, Julius Peppers and Von Miller, those are the guys I am trying to mirror my player off of. The aforementioned speed rushing defensive end will give me the best possible outcome in starting to create that player.

27. What team do you think has the best branding in the league? What team do you think could use a refresh? Why?For this task I will breakdown all of the DSFL teams as that is the league I will be starting in. Starting with the North division my branding ranking would be as follows in order of worst to best, Portland Pythons, London Royals, Kansas Coyotes and the Minnesota Grey Ducks. First off, I love the python logo with the snake holding the ball in it's mouth. The shape outside of the ball could be tweaked a bit but this still deserves my #1 spot. After that the Royals, which is a pretty typical sim league branding imo..super clean, no defects, it works. However, both Kansas City and Minnesota need to be looked at. The actual coyote image looks low quality and the purple should be a bit darker. The grey duck is something i've never heard of before. After some quick research, I guess the phrase "Duck, Duck, Duck, Grey Duck" is a thing? I'm not sure but that has to be the weakest out of them all.
Moving onto the South, in order from best to worst, Buccaneers, Luchadores, Birddogs and the Seawolves. Love the Bucs logo, something about a pirate on a logo and if it's done right always gets the top spot in my book. Having a team from Tijuana guarantees a high ranking in my book - logo is okay but love the creativity of the location choice. Birddogs and Seawolves are basically neck and neck for me. I put the Birddogs slightly higher than the Seawolves because of the logo. I do like the use of the radar behind the submarine however I have soft spot for dogs and I like how it's incorporated with the Dallas 'D'.
There's my rankings. To any GMs/players/former players who may be looking at this - i'm sorry don't hate me! I would be happy to play for any well-run organization even if the mascot is a grey duck.
