(S22) - PT1 - Runnin’ Down a Dream

[KoltClassic]

This new season is an important one for Otis. Coming into the league as the second overall pick in the season 21 draft, Allen had the eyes of the entire league on him. Getting drafted that high means that your team has high expectations for you. It also means that the team that drafted you probably didn’t do too well in the year before and is looking for a big talent to get them back on track. This wasn’t necessarily the case with San Jose for the defensive tackle position leaving the season 21 draft, but it certainly is now. Otis Allen was drafted onto a team with two veterans on the defensive line in Freezer Riposte and Brayden Ennis. He was placed in the defensive end position to fill a need, but figured he’d have ample time to learn from his teammates next to him. This would turn out a bit differently than expected. At the beginning of season 22, the veteran defensive tackle Freezer Riposte was claimed from San Jose in the expansion draft. Now, three games into the season, Brayden Ennis has announced his retirement after this season. This leaves Allen as the main contributor on the defensive line. This season will be a defining one for Allen’s career, and will be pivotal in San Jose’s attempt to get back in the running for another Ultimus trophy.
