My best football memory would have to be the night of the NSFL draft. The anticipation was killing me, and I spent all day trying to fill my time with tasks that would distract me from the upcoming events. I had a very good idea I was going one of three places, Yellowknife, Philadelphia, or Baltimore, and probably in fourth round, with Yellowknife and Baltimore having the first five picks. Because of this, I was absolutely shocked when I saw name was called in the third round. Getting that call from Hendrix is one of my best football memories.

One of my next favorite football memories would have to be my first NSFL game. Unfortunately for me, it would be against the Orange County Otters who have two of the best offensive tackles in the league. Even more unfortunate though, I would lined up against Angus Winchester, a man who didn’t allow a single sack all Season 1. Welcome to the NSFL. He was an absolute beast and dominated me the majority of the game. I was, however, able to finish the game with 4 tackles and 2 tackles for loss, a solid game for any rookie.

My final football memory I’ll talk about here has to be the Season 2 Ultimus Bowl. The playoff win over the Wraiths was exhilarating, but this, this was an entirely different level. From the constant media coverage to the level of hype in the locker room, it was, by far, the most exciting game I’ve ever been a part of. Unfortunately for us, the game didn’t end as well as we’d hoped, but I had a pretty decent game, and it made me excited for the seasons to come.
