Now, time for some questions.
Are there any defensive lineman that you've taken note of? If so, what caught your eye?
I see you're touted as a run stuff coming out of college, what do you think you need to work on(attributes or otherwise) the most to be successful at plugging up the middle and stopping the run?
Do you think a running back getting 100 rushing yards against you in your only performance is going to hurt your future prospects?
How active do you plan on being in the league? What drew you to come and play ball in the NSFL?
Finally, have you taken a look at the Interested Prospects Threads? You can post to the teams you're interesting in becoming a part of.

I have been a fan of Bender ever since he came into the league. What makes him stand out, other than the obvious fact that he currently leads all DTs in sacks, is that he has a very strong argument for being the best DT in the league but, in all honesty, there isn't any one thing particular thing about him that makes him special. He isn't even really close to being the fastest, strongest, or even the best at tackling. His measurables are...honestly...pretty average as far as DTs go. But yet, he's one of the most dominant DTs in the league. That's what I look up to, not the guys who are stronger or faster than anybody else, but the ones who go out on the field and make plays. That's what I hope to emulate: being a playmaker above my measurables.

I'm aware that my strength is only average right now as far as DTs typically go, but I believe I make up for it in my speed. I believe a lot can be overcome with a quick step, fast reflexes, a strong motor, and a knack for just getting to the ball carrier. For me to be the most successful that I can be, I need to be able to catch the RB or QB without them jumping away, and I need to be able to plug up holes faster than they can appear.

Cobb had a fantastic game, and I have no doubt that he'll do great in this league, even with the logjam at RB. But he won't repeat that performance against us, and I look forward to playing against him in the upcoming games. He's a heck of an athlete and I appreciate being able to test myself against him.
How active do you plan on being in the league? What drew you to come and play ball in the NSFL?
I plan to be as active as it takes to cement myself as a premier player in this league, and to establish myself as the top DT in this S2 draft class. I was recruited online actually, and I was drawn to the "newness" of the league...It's new enough for me to establish myself quickly, even as a rookie. I'm looking forward to joining a locker room and becoming a part of a team.

I am actually filling some out right now!
Thank you for welcoming me to the league! I'm looking forward to it.
