Season Three is slowly approaching and Ricky Maddox has been in the limelight of three different topics going into the new year.
The first one is that he's coming off of the best statistical line for a Tight End in NSFL History. Having such of a dominating year that he not only did he earn his second Pro Bowl appearance in the first two years of the NSFL, he finally claims the coveted Best TE award he's been itching to get his hands on.
Speaking of the Pro Bowl, it leads to the second topic, which is that the S2 Pro Bowl was his final game as a Tight End! That's right, he publicly announced that he's planning to take his talents to the other side of the field and will now be set on "taking some heads off of QBs and RBs all year."
The addition of his raw talent, along with draftees Eidur Gustavsson and Ryan Fitzfatrick. Not to mention his fellow NSFC Pro Bowler Bork Björnsson on the prowl, the D-Line appears to be their biggest strength on paper for the Yellowknife Defense.
The final topic going into the new year surrounding Maddox's offseason revolves back to where he started.
The Tight End position.
He can't just leave without a successor to the throne, and the Wraiths did their diligence to make sure they got someone more than worthy. Joseph Askins, the Blocking TE out of ASU, appears to be ready, willing, and able to coninue right where Ricky Maddox left off and help continue the dominiating force of nature known as the offense of the Yellowknife Wraiths.
"Man, I don't know I'd do without these guys getting me into shape. They've been very helpful and supportive of my switch and I'm blessed at the opportunity to help the Wraiths get to where they need to be on defense. Ryan, Bork and Eidur all have been making sure that come week one in the preseason, I'll be on my way to greatness."

This has been a process for both young men. On Maddox's side, he's doing everything he can to get ready for the upcoming year, relearning the position from a bare base of knowledge and at the same time, he's doing everything he can to mentor and groom the young protégé into becoming the next "GOAT TE."
"This guy is a stud. I'm actually surprised he fell THAT deep into the draft, it was clear he didn't have any issues with him, no baggage, kind hearted guy, easy to talk to, always have his ear out to listen and a willing learner, he's got it all. I was told to trust the process and I think we hit that nail on the head hands down when we selected Joseph.
He's already the better blocker between us but if he gets his physicality/athleticism up, keeps at it with the receiving end and stays the course, he's going to make waves as soon as week one. You can quote me on that."

We will see soon enough if these three topics can be the true difference maker come S3. We will be keeping you up to date with what's going on with the future of #WraithsNation football.
