Ryan Negs’ last draft experience was being picked 6th overall by the Philadelphia Liberty in the S26 ISFL draft. In the weeks leading up to the draft, it seemed like Philadelphia was the only spot that needed a quarterback, but there were three quarterbacks looking for homes. I was determined to get to Philadelphia and badly wanted to be there. At the time, they were in an ownership transition from the old regime to the new, and they had been named very closely before the draft occurred. I made sure to spend time in their locker room, reach out to whoever I could, and get scouted. On the day of the draft, I was super nervous about the prospects of not being able to go to Philly and play quarterback for a team I wanted to help bring back to glory. Fortunately, with the first pick of the new regime Pat and Cody drafted Negs. I was ecstatic and already in the locker room ready to make a huge difference and state my claim as a leader in the locker room. It motivated me to train harder and more that they believed in my player so much as to use their first ever pick on him. Sitting at 2-2 and our best football yet to come, I’d say it worked out well for both parties.
