Ricky Maddox is pretty much the definition of a High/Low type of player regardless of the position. He's had it as a Tight End both years, and he most definitely has had it as a Defensive End. Switching from offense to defense has had it's affect on his playing ability.
We can start with the low. Coming into the year, he boasted himself as the "GOAT TE/DE™." After the first few games where he would consider himself "lackluster" and "not effective," he aptly dubbed himself as the "GOAT TE/AVG DE™." It definitely was a hit to his pride and there's no one, and I'll say it again. NO ONE that lets out more pride than Ricky Maddox. So the less than GOAT like performances were beginning to get into his head.
What made matters worse is that a Defense End by the name of Jayce Tuck out of Arizona had similar style of rushing the passer as Maddox did (Refering to the Attributes) but Tuck led the way in nearly every way possible.
Two games in (both of which were losses), there comes the the high point. It all started with a blocked punt against the Otters to flip a switch. The Wraiths went on a solid winning streak and the stat sheet started to fill up and the confidence began to rise ever so slowly. Where he posted his career high of four sacks and seven tackles against the Las Vegas Legion.
From that point, he went onto a much quicker pace and the game began to slow down for him. If Maddox was to rate his year on a school grade scale, he'd make it a C. The bar has been set and he will be ready to raise it next year.
