Bork Bjornsson had just finished up a very successful rookie season with the Yellowknife Wraiths, winning a pro bowl nomination in just his first year in the league. Most of his time was actually spent training… with fellow teammate and GOAT tight end Ricky Maddox. When the media and other players around the league caught wind of this, they didn’t really understand what was going on. Why would an offensive player, especially a star like Ricky Maddox, be training with a defensive player?
The answer soon become apparent however, when Ricky Maddox officially announced that he was switching positions and would be playing on the defensive line for the Wraiths. What was it exactly that convinced the star tight end, who was the best the NSFL had ever seen, to leave his position of dominance and change positions to the other side of the ball? Turns out, a significant factor was Bork. Bork had helped Maddox decide for himself which would be better for the team, and when Maddox decided on making the switch, Bork went all in on helping his teammate transition. Strength training, tackling drills, agility and speed shuffles, you name it. When the pair returned to Yellowknife at the end of the offseason training together, they both knew that their hard work would pay off.
