@soevil asks the following questions:
Can you explain where the nickname "Rainmaker" came from?
I’ve always been a fan of pro wrestling, mainly Kazuchika Okada. He’s called the Rainmaker, so I figure “hey, why not?” It’s also interchangeable with “Reignmaker” as well - in that case, I took the DraftKings “Make It Reign” tagline and rolled with it.
Is there a player that you model your game after?
Think OchoCinco, but less of a diva. I’m also thinking of if you made Andrew Whitworth a WR - a great person off the field, but a monster on it.
Would you rather be the star of a 5-11 team or a role player on a 11-5 team?
I’d always wanna be star of an 11-5, but if I had to pick, probably role player of a 11-5. I’ve always been a team-heavy guy, and I always want others of my type to succeed. I’d much rather let others excel, even if it meant I’d take a backseat.

@Painted asks the following:
What isfl/dsfl team do you think has the best branding?
ISFL, honestly, NOLA seems like the clear front runner. Purple/blue is a great combo that’s often underutilized, and the name makes a lot of sense - the Second Line is the group that follows the band, and they always have fun; when I hear Second Line, I hear fun-loving individuals.
DSFL, probably BBB. That pirate is godly. End of question.
What made you want to create as a WR?
I always told myself if I’d ever get into the NFL, it’d be as a WR. They’ve always been the boyhood dream for everyone - I grew up idolizing Megatron and DeSean and flipped when OBJ caught that one-hander. WR’s the boyhood dream, so this is the next best thing.
You looking forward to the draft?? Any particular teams caught your attention?
I’m looking incredibly forward to this - all the hype surround this has come to a head, and I’m excited. The one team I’d obviously want is Bondi Beach, but I wouldn’t say no to any others.

Is a Hot Dog a sandwich?

1) What is your favorite route to run, and why?
Slants. They’re sleek and easy, yet can get you major yardage if necessary. In and out routes are dope too.
2) What feels better: catching a screen and taking it to the house, or catching a bomb but not scoring?
Catching bombs but not scoring. You’re still closer to the goal, so benefit the team and help. Plus, you’ll look cool as hell.
3) What are your thoughts on parallel parking?
It exists.

@XaveValor asks:
Where do you see yourself going in the DSFL draft?
Honestly? Mid-to-late first round. I don’t believe WR is a huge necessity for these players. Yes, they have losses thanks to the ISFL draft, but, I don’t think WR is the biggest need. Maybe CB.
(ok so when I originally answered this I thought there were only like 3 rounds
there are 8.)
NEW ANSWER: I’m probably going 4th or 5th round.
If you were to switch positions, which would you switch to?
Maybe RB? I’m a speed WR, so it could work? I could also try the Prime Time route and go for CB.
In your current position, what do you believe is the most important attribute?
Probably intelligence. You gotta know how to run routes and stuff.
What is your favorite kind of sandwich?
Cheesesteak, for sure. Ham and cheese comes in a close second.

For an unoriginal guy, I think you are pretty original. What is the most original thing you have ever done?
