[Memento Mori]

Oliver Tolliver was a second round pick in the Season 40 DSFL Draft, after a less than stellar performance as a waiver pickup for the Portland Pythons in Season 39. The young wide receiver appeared in three games for the Tay Swizzle North division team, and caught just three passes for 28 yards and one first down. Ahead of his debut for his new team, the Bondi Beach Buccaneers, Tolliver was asked about his performance the previous season and if he felt that he would've been drafted higher if he didn't play at all. The reporter pointed out that the Buccaneers receiver had 6 drops for the Pythons, more than twice the number of balls he actually caught. Tolliver did not rise to it, however, stating that the experience of playing against top DSFL corners in practice and on the field was crucial in him developing his game and that he would be a much better player for it, despite his struggles last season. Tolliver emphasised that draft position does not matter, and what really matters is on-field performance for the rookie in S40. (184 words)
