In a shocking turn of events, recently drafted Colorado Yeti former quarterback, Torque (construction noise) Lewith announced that he would be making the change from Quarterback, to the defensive side of the ball at Safety. When asked about his role, he responded that he would be a Centerfield-esque type of safety, similar to Earl Thomas III of the NFL. He believes that his long tenure as quarterback for the Nevada State Penitentary has given him deep insights in to the mind of a quarterback, and will allow him to read both opposing quarterback's eyes and minds. He believes that he will be able to read plays effectively, because he was trained to make plays the same way.
Lewith had actually indicated, to at least several GMs of the NSFL, including the GM of the Colorado Yeti, the team he was drafted by, that he would not, in-fact, be willing to make a change of position such as the one he hass just announced. His reluctance to be willing to make a position change, actively hurt his draft stock, causing him to fall to the 11th round, where he was taken as the 87th overall pick; one of the very last of the active players. When asked for comment as to why the sudden change of mind, Lewith declined to comment. It is highly suspected that he did it because, given the quality and age of the quarterbacks in the league today, he knew that he would be hard pressed to find playing time at any team in the league at any point in time.
Lewith also believes that his style of quarterback play, self-described as
Lewith's decision to change positions should have two immediate, and fairly substantial impacts on the a both the Yeti, and his career in the NSFL.
1. Lewith's value immediately jumps, and it does so, a significant amount. Not because safety is such a position of desire in the league today, but because Quarterback is exactly the opposite of that right now. His activity in the league should make him a valuable rookie, and the Yeti front office must be very happy to have been able to fill a position of need with an active player so late in the draft.
2. Lewith's signing as a safety now should give the Yeti a complete defense of active players, as they look to improve upon their great season.
Lewith proceeded to make it very clear to me that he wanted to learn from both the rookies and the veterans of the league and improve his player. While he has extensive experience with the positions he will be playing against, he is inexperienced in the position he is actually playing. Lewith said that he would like to train with Dermot Lavalle, the number one overall pick of the draft, who he had met at rookie events. Although they are not on the same team, Lewith wants to continue the (hopefully) friendly competition on the field. Lewith, it appears, would be a heavy underdog in any competition; he was drafted a full 86 picks after the self-proclaimed "season two poster boy". But Lewith maintains a full confidence in his ability to succeed at any level.
With expectations now high, and the Yeti defense full, one can only wonder why Lewith was so stubborn before the draft, and tanked his own value.

Lewith also believes that his style of quarterback play, self-described as
Quote:"Like Russell Wilson, but faster, accurater, and more attractive,"will translate well to the safety position, which also must be played at a very high speed. Lewith did acknowledge, however, that he would need to work on his hands.
Quote:"At Quarterback, the only real catching I ever did was catching the snap, and half the time it's not even catching. I just take the ball out of the centers butt haha"It is especially important, considering in the centerfield, Lewith should have plenty of opportunities to force turnovers.
