The first big moment of my career was the day of the NSFL’s Season 2 draft. I remember going into it thinking I was going to be a 5th round pick, and lesser known prospect who declared just a few days before the draft was set to take place. I didn’t have high expectations for my draft stock, and when the Liberty came calling and I found out where I was going in the 2nd round I couldn’t be happier. Philadelphia had been one of 2 teams that really stood out to me, and it felt like the GMs were really trying to communicate and they seemed like they really wanted to call my name when they could.

The next moment that I’ll never forget was a big day on two fronts. As a part of the expansion team, Philadelphia Liberty, we were a team full of rookies with the expectations that we would only have a few wins in S2. As expected we struggled early, and lost our first four games of the young season. The reigning NSFC champions, Colorado Yeti, were coming to Philly and everyone expected the Yeti to have their way with the young team. It was a close game, and with 3 minutes left Jameis Christ was able to lead the Liberty down the field and throw a touchdown to go up 18-14. The fate of the team was on the unproven defense now, and the Yeti looked like they were on their way to a game winning drive of their own. The last play of the game, Noble was looking for Law, trying to get a game winning TD, when I intercept the ball, end the game, and seal the Liberty’s first win as an NSFL team. It will probably be the greatest moment of my NSFL career, as going in I had struggled, and had not had an interception up to this point. This turned out to be the spark I needed for my NSFL career, as the struggles seemed to disappear in the 2nd half of the season.

Speaking of the struggles, the last big moment as of writing this was being named the Defensive Rookie of the Year for S2. I catapulted that game ending interception into 6 interceptions on the season, along with 12 passes defended. To be named DROY after an abysmal start to the season, to turn the season around like I did, it was fantastic to be recognized for it, and hopefully I hear a few more awards with my name on them.

The three greatest moments from my career. Hmm, it has been so long and illustrious that I don't know where to begin. I think I will start back in my days of recreational football. My team, the Titans, had made it all the way to the championship. We were playing our rivals, the Texans. I was playing quarterback at the time since I was always the best athlete on the field and coaches wanted to make good use of me. In the fourth quarter with less than two minutes remaining, a snap went way over my head. I ran back to grab it, evaded seemingly their entire team, and scored to give us a lead by fourteen points, clinching the game. Another one of my most memorable moments was in college where we won the national championship after I went on an absolute tear during the season, shattering defensive back records left and right. My final favorite moment was the NSFC conference championship this year against the Wraiths. The satisfaction of making the NSFL championship after being the worst in the conference the year before was great, not to mention beating the Wraiths to make it there. That's probably my favorite moment of all.

Godfrey King has had a fair share of memorable moments in his short career. For him, the first memorable moment came when he was able to forego his final year of college in order to play on the Arizona Outlaws. Not only did it give him a taste for the skill level of the NSFL, it also gave him a championship ring before even being officially a part of the league. This first memorable moment in a way leads into the second memorable moment, which was the S3 NSFL Draft Night. There had been murmurs all week about where King was going to go. It seemed clear that the Outlaws were looking to take him and keep him on their team, but they had the number one draft pick, and King was (in the eyes of most) not a consensus number one. The Outlaws then traded away their first pick for the second pick, and took King with it. King was humbled by the experience, and was extremely grateful to the Outlaws organization for bringing him back. The third memorable experience would have to be the championship game. While King didn't overly contribute, it truly felt like a team win, and was the happiest moment of his young life--inspiring him to keep at it.

Three memorable moments would include my first game vs Army with Vincent Sharpei (Muford) on the opposite sideline, it was a close game, with Navy coming out on top 24-21, Sharpei even recovered a fumble and rumbled 5 yards for Army's final touchdown. Chris was even ribbed a little by his teammates for cheering for the play, even though they won. Chris had a pretty good game, not the best, but not too rough either. going 12/17 for 193 yards with 2 TD and 1 INT to go along with 20 rushes for 124 yards and another Touchdown.
The next most memorable game would be his first non-preseason game in the NSFL after being drafted, He played against the Sabercats, winning 27-14 and going 23/37 for 252 and 1:1 TD:INT. It was a tough fought game, and he had to ice his arm afterwards, not having thrown that many attempts in a game all throughout college.
The Final game that is notable is Quite possibly Chris' best game as a professional to date. That would be week 11, season 2, he came up with a 137.9 QBR, going 25/32 for 307 and 3 TDs, he was on fire this game, throwing recievers open, and leading the team up and down the field with ease. It was easily his most complete came as a professional!

Some of my memorable moments clearly are my last game with Army. Down by 3 with a few minutes left to play, I was subbed in as a TE while we had a full line, because we wanted to get more offensive linemen out there to open up our run game. Last play of the game, we run a play action left and I am wide open in the end zone, and catch the ball for a touchdown to win the game for us against Navy. It was a great moment for me because I was able to showcase my skills more than just on the line.

The next game that has to stand out to me was my first game ever after being picked up the waiver wire, I suited up for the Baltimore Hawks. We played against the Yeti and ended up losing the game by a Field Goal. I didn’t do much that game, already playing against greats in the league, and I let up a sack and a penalty for 5 yards. It wasn’t the best performance ever, but it’s something I was able to learn from.

My other huge game that stands out to me, is my first game in San Jose. After being drafted 4th overall, I had a lot riding on my shoulders to help bring this team around. We beat up the Liberty in San Jose to a score of 31-16 and I was able to record two pancakes. It was the start of something amazing for myself and the San Jose Franchise.

When looking back at my career so far, there moments really come to mind. The first was when my college team, the Ohio Bobcats won the MAC championship. We were at Ford Field, in Detroit, Michigan, and it was our first time getting to the championship in my lifetime. The coach had taken a chance on me as a walk on and I eventually earned myself a starting role, and this was my big moment. The game was tense, back and forth the whole way, a real defensive struggle. But, at the end, with the game on the line, up by 2, we lined up to stop a last second hail Mary to put our opponents into field goal range. I was on the number 1 guy and knew the ball was coming my way. I kept my eyes on the QB the whole time and solidified it with a pick.

My next biggest moment was getting drafted. From a walk on freshmen at a non-power 5 school, to a draftee is a huge deal, and I was incredibly honored a team would take a chance one me, let alone make me a starter.

The final biggest moment was making the pro bowl. One of the biggest honors you can get in the league.
