Draft day. How was my draft day? I can't say I was disappointed. I was picked as I expected, 6th round. I mean, being the 4th best safety in the class, I never thought I could slide lower. What surprised me though is that it took 3 full rounds till a safety was picked. I mean, defensive backs are quite demanded in the league, most due to their versatility. I was surprised I was picked by Norfolk as well. I mean, the Seawolves were not a team to really get in contact with me. I don't even recall speaking to any of their GMs. It was mostly the Polar Bears, followed by the Pythons and the Luchadores. Did I ever think I would end up on a team on rebuilding process? Obviously. Did I want to be in one? Absolutely. I mean, even if they draft to win now, nobody expects you to win. Hence the benefit of the doubt takes pressue off of your shoulders, allowing you to perform better. #31 overall pick, 6th rounder. Am I a steal? I doubt it. Will teams feel bad for passing on me? Well, that's on me to prove... We will see what the future holds.
