(S20) - PT1 - Rookie Mentor

[moonlight]

Franklin Armstrong is playing in his 4th season as the starting quarterback for the Orange County Otters. He considers himself an NSFL veteran and decided he wanted to give back to the next class of quarterbacks going into the NSFL. He organized a short minicamp for upcoming quarterbacks which he called the “Armstrong Passing Academy”. In this camp, rookies are shown how to interpret an NSFL playbook, they are taken through drills and even given financial management workshops. The idea behind this camp was to stabilize and anchor future NSFL quarterbacks and give them the tools to succeed both on the field and off the field.

“I just wanted to give back man” said Franklin Armstrong in yesterday’s press conference. “I was one of those quarterbacks who had time to develop and learn behind an established NSFL quarterback. In this day and age, young quarterbacks are being thrust into the starting role earlier and earlier in their development. Sadly, this leads to players who should probably develop more being beaten and downtrodden before they have a chance to maximize their potential. In my draft class, none of the quarterbacks selected before me or after me have made it into the league and most have retired already. I don’t really want to see that happen for future quarterbacks in this league”.

Jay Cue was one of those quarterbacks who attended Armstrong’s passing academy and he’s off to a flying start, leading his Outlaws team to a 3-0 start.
