It's cliche, but the most memorable moment in my life was the Season 9 NSFL draft. The San Jose SaberCats held the first overall pick. I held interviews with almost every NSFL team and felt good about a few of them. With San Jose, I had a really good interview, but I didn't really think they would go with a wide receiver with the first pick. There were a lot of really good players in my draft class that could of went first overall. Marquise Brown, the running back, had a fantastic season and plays an important position on the field. Kevin Fitzpatrick was the top quarterback coming out of the DSFL and we all know how important finding a franchise quarterback is. There were very good defensive players coming out as well, like Bucky Barnes and Kolby Deringer.
On the night of the draft, I got into my suit and headed down to the draft. I was nervous, not of my draft position, but of just wanting to find out my new team. As it turns out, I didn't need to wait long. San Jose went up to the podium and with the first overall pick in the draft, they took a Canadian wide receiver by the name of Xavier Flash. I was shocked, surprised, and elated. I couldn't believe the SaberCats liked me enough to take me first overall. It was a moment that I will never forget and will always appreciate San Jose for giving me that moment.
