*Being an Underdog, A Draft Story - feve10 - 03-28-2018
You see Mock drafts popping up. My name gets placed in all these different spots. You hear rumors, you see analysts saying my DSFL career was a fluke, they say my position as linebacker/safety hybrid only works in college and DSFL...they say I won't work in pro scheme, they keep trying to tear me down...
But that's when I emerge. I said this my whole career, all I need is a chance.
I was a walk-on at TCU, I had to work my way into a spot, they said I was too small for linebacker and too slow for safety, but I proved them wrong becoming the first player in TCU history to record a 4 pick, 4 sack game. Then I turned some heads, but even then, they said I would never make it in the DSFL. They said I didn't have a position, I wouldn't get drafted...
But then the Kansas City Coyotes came in and picked me up. Started off slow, all the analysts kept saying how they were right, but then my first sack came, and then my first pick.
That sure shut them up huh? NO. They keep saying how there are better linebackers out there...let's see a linebacker who can also ballhawk like me and tackle like you were getting hit by a truck. They will keep trying to tear me down and not give me the respect I deserve...all because of the position I play. They don't want to accept the Linebacker/Safety hybrid. But I'm here and I'm ready to work.
All I need is a chance. you won't be disappointed.
Word count: 267
Ready to be graded.

You seem like a good player to have in the locker room from this piece. If you can keep up the activity, a team will be lucky to have you!
:cheers:

To be fair his team has 5 of the first 11 picks. So if you don't get picked by the Yeti it wasn't luck. It was that they didn't like you.
:ph34r:
But we like you.
