I've told the story of my draft experience probably two or three times on my podcast, but it was a really excellent experience! I was super surprised to be picked out so early in the DSFL Draft given the size and quality of the Season 22 class that came en masse from the r/NFL post at the beginning of pandemic times. I was already enraptured by the NSFL by the time that my draft was coming on and so I was ready and excited to find a place where my player could be a part of a contender and join a team with a clear path towards becoming a lead back. I made a big media piece leading up to the draft going through all of my potential draft destinations based on those aforementioned traits and the teams' communications with me up to that point and I kept my eyes out for every mock draft that I could find. With White Goodman as the consensus #1 RB, it was going to be a battle between Skyline, howsour, and myself to fight it out for the other RB spots. I decided to prepare a signature for my player that I could quickly edit after the draft with my new teams branding and I found myself testing it out by using the branding for the Orange County Otters. I think that was a manifestation of a subconscious feeling that I had that OCO was the place that I really wanted to go the most and, luckily for me, I landed there in the 4th round!
