(S3) - PT #1 - Rookie Spotlight

[Saliva^]

There is one rookie in the Sabercats team who should get much attention. And sorry Blewitt, but that's not you, even though you're doing a wonderful job on kicking the shit out of the other teams. Now I'll talk about Benson Bayley - a cornerback who was drafted 4th OV by the Sabercats' team. This team's defence already was decent, but still with some holes so this pick was a solid choice. Not only he added even more activity to team's LR, he also managed to put up a reliable stats in all 4 pre-season matches. In three of them, he left the field with at least one broken pass. Total stats from all four pre-season games: 15 tackles and 5 broken passes. You can see that this guy provides a bright future for the Sabercats' defence. And as I said, he brings more activity and fun to already active San Jose LR to keep teammates motivated to do bigger and better things. Now the only thing he needs to do is keep this pace up as the Sabercats' team suffered enough from it's members going inactive and asking out of the team. I'm legit excited to see this player in an upcoming season.

In my first season, I played with Teagarden and Cox. Last season, I played with Blade and Bot and now I have two new teammates and one of them is a rookie. Shi'terrick Marks was draft in the 6th round of the S3 NSFL draft and he has been a steal for us. He has been a great player on our locker room and he doesn't look like a rookie. He has worked much more than my previous teammates and I'm very excited to play with him. We work out a lot during the training camp. We needed to be ready for our first game so he asked me from extra time during practice. Right now, there's still work to do on our chemistry but I think we will be ready for the preseason. I believe he has the potential to be better than Big Bot. He really reminds me of Vinny Cox, the best DT in the league. They both act the same way and they never stop working until the win. I might be crazy but I believe this preseason, he will be the best player on our team. I'm very hyped to hit the field with him. We are going to be a dangerous combo.

Through the S3 draft the San Jose SabreCats went out and got themselves a good combo of active playmakers, but I think the player who gets overlooked a bit, will have the biggest impact on the SabreCats defense. Calkewlated Chambers III, the 6'6 315 pound defensive tackle from Michigan was drafted to shore up a defensive line that already features a great defensive tackle in Dan Miller, but lacks a true playmaker beside him. The addition of Chambers III, or "Cake" as he's called by teammates, will make the interior defensive line of the SabreCats one to be truly feared. He's overlooked because he was taken in the 4th, but make no mistake about the man's ability to play. At Michigan he was a 3 year standout accumulating 183 tackles and 20 sacks in his college career. Cake is set to take the leauge by storm, and has already been reported as a hard worker who spends nights watching film and lifting, as well as a vocal leader in the locker room. He may be a rookie, but he certainly flashes the leadership that made him a captain at Michigan. So here's a warning to all QBs and RBs out there: The Cake is Coming....

The rookie I am most excited to see play is the OL from France, Francois Lamoreux. He is quite a talent, showing through the preseason that he belongs! While due to some expirimentation, the sack numbers on QB Chris Orosz are a bit higher than anticipated, the activity of this player is not the only thing that can suprise you. He is very good with his pancake to sack ratio, and brings a physiclaity that some outlets might say has been missing from the Yellowknife front five...as much as can be missed at a contact heavy position like the offense line that is. He comes with a bit of swagger that some might mistake for cockiness, and they might be partially right, but then again, you wouldn't be a good offensive lineman if you didn't have some swagger that lets you feel you are the best out there. Overall this pick was a good one and will do quite a good job keeping QB Chris Orosz upright as well as buying him some time to get playmakers Nuck, Garden, and Cook involved and moving the chains, something that due to the pressure during the preseason has been kind of rough to get started. The fans of Yellowknife should be happy for this pick, and look forward to a rock solid OL for many years to come!

This offseason has been an eventful one for the Colorado Yeti. A new regime trades away aging stars for young lions. The movement starts with our season 3 rookies. We managed to secure Antonio Sandoval AND Brice Boggs. They will start immediately as they were the number 1 and number 2 prospects in this draft. Sandoval immediately becomes the leader of the O-line and Brice Boggs will immediately slot in as the jab to Saint’s hook. The Flash to my Batman. By training camp, these rookies were named co-captains for the Colorado Yeti. Add to that picking up Rico Rodriguez to help Sandoval hold down the fort, Boss Tweed will have many holes to run through. But we won't just run down your throat this season. We managed to pick up the Champagne Supernova, Nicholas Pierno. The guy can flat out ball, it won't surprise me when he becomes the best quarterback in the league. Hear that?! Not if, when. He’s already the best rookie QB and if keep up his work, which he no doubt will, I can see him being the best quarterback in the league this season. We got a scary group of rooks this season. Not only are they talented on the field, but absolutely some of the best bag carriers ever

Franklin Harris Jr. is by far going to be the most exciting player to see in this draft. Here's a few reasons why.

First of all, he's going to have a big role in this Outlaws defense. Slotting in as the CB2 on this top defense is going to be a big test. As the youngest player in the starting lineup for the Arizona Outlaws, he will likely be tested a lot. How he holds up to that will be something everyone will be wanting to look for.

Second, he will have high expectations. His father, Franklin Harris, was an amazing LB/DL for the Orange County Otters, and the player he unseated, Isaiah Rashad, won DPotY in S1 and has 16 career interceptions in 2 seasons. No pressure, though.

Third, he will likely get tested a lot. Even with the addition of Philippe Carter, the the secondary is the weakest point of the defense. You could make a case that the DTs are, but if you try to run it down the middle you will go right into the best LB core in the league. So its likely that teams look to pass a lot against the Outlaws.

Thats why Franklin Harris Jr. will be the most fun rookie to watch

Francois Lamoreux or as we call him in the locker room, @Archon . Is a very exciting addition to the Wraiths organization, The second round pick in this last draft is another name we can add to our already stellar offensive line. He comes to us from Bordeaux, France. Who would have thought the Wraiths scouting reached as far as France!

But we see that the team has high hopes for this young man, as he has already earned him self a starting position with the team. He is no small little wine drinking, croissant nibbling twig. He stands at an impressive 6'4 and weights just over 340 lbs. This man child has been known to hurt a teammate or two through his day. The most recent was when he snapped the clavicle of his teammate in UCLA, after giving him a victory hug. The 245 lbs. half back was no little man himself but Lamoreux shattered the bone to the point that he needed 17 pins and a steel plate just to hold his shoulder together.

I know I for one cant wait to see the first earth rattling pancake Lamoreux dishes out this pre season. I am sure his fellow line mates will be waiting with just as much excitement as the rest of the fans world wide!
