(S28) PT1 - Draft Day

[Cody]

Gary Goodman’s draft experience was one of anticipation. He had been waiting for this moment since he was a young boy in Northern Wisconsin. The Season 25 draft was full of great prospects and there was no telling where players would end up at the end of the day.
 
There had been weeks and weeks of meeting with teams. You were asked question after question and Gary had hoped he was giving answers that team’s valued. He felt like he made a good impression on a number of teams, but only time would tell.

There were a few teams where Gary thought he would definitely land in the 2nd or 3rd round. He knew he was not a top graded prospect but that was okay with him. He was just looking to land on a team where he could help them win some ball games.

The day finally arrived, the first round went by and Gary was not selected. No worries, he had anticipate this. Second round comes and goes, that is alright. Third round…still nothing. Gary was starting to sweat, had he correctly applied for this draft? Then finally with the fourth pick in the fourth round… The Baltimore Hawks select Linebacker Gary Goodman.
Finally! Gary had a home. It was totally unexpected but still great, nonetheless. He knew he had had a chance to make an impact in his rookie season with his new team.
