Well, it would be silyl to ignore the obvious change in Will’s life, which came with an extra set of changes. He was drafted and started his career with the New Orleans Second Line. That’s a new team, a new city and a new league. On top of all that, the team decided very quickly to move him from FS to SS.
Will is a real pro when it comes to football, though, so the latter was his primary concern. FS was a lot of running and covering, and while SS would have plenty of that, as well, he knew it also meant a lot more responsibility in run support, and a lot less time spent covering a deep zone, and a lot more covering big tight ends. That was going to be a big adjustment. It would take a lot of film time and drilling.
But, when you’re in the simulated pros, that’s what it takes.
