I have to say, I am most anticipating watching where Tegan Atwell goes and how she does at the professional level. A lot of detractors say she is going to fail simply because of her gender. However, her skills that she displayed in the DSFL prove otherwise. She is a great young talent at corner and could transition to safety if the team she is drafted requires her to. The storyline that she will be the first female player to be drafted in the NSFL is one athat will overshadow the fact that she is probably the best cornerback to be drafted in the NSFL since the Season 2 draft. She has a strong work ethic and a lot of teams have a pressing need for corner. Andre Bly Jr and Cameron Taylor are projected to go higher in the draft, despite the obvious superiority that Atwell displays. I would like to refrain from speculating that this is simply because they are male, but it's hard to avoid the elephant in the room. Of course that isn't to say Bly or Taylor aren't talented or deserving of a top pick, but in my scouting opinion, the Blues cornerback displays the most overall talent and will be a premier corner for a long time.
