11. My player Giles Marrett grew up in a suburb outside of Akron, Ohio. His biggest role model was LeBron James because well he’s LeBron, doesn’t need much explaining there. A lot of people who grow up there come from very unlucky backgrounds and struggle to make it out, so Giles wanted to be the exception. Starting at 5 years old he would play sports year round, his favorite sport to play was baseball, but once they started throwing breaking balls he was done. Around 8 he was noticed by the high school football coach and the coach is former Akron legend Jason Taylor, former hall of fame defensive end when he played with the Miami Dolphins. At the time Giles didn’t really care where he played, he just wanted to see the field. He was always physically dominate over kids his age so they would play him two ways as a WR and a DE. Nobody to cover him and nobody could stop him, he was being hyped up as the new Jason Taylor of course. But he didn’t know if he wanted to stay close to home, and he still wanted to play in Ohio. So, he made the shocking decision to attend Ohio University. At OU he was a starter right away, he struggled at first of course, but showed a lot of promise towards the end of the season. By his senior season he was voted best defensive player in the MAC twice already, looking to three peat he thought he had a good chance. Until late in the season when he suffered a major injury, on a noncontact play trying to hawk down a HB that had burst past the other side of the defensive line. After taking three long strides Giles felt a pop in his knee, instantly hitting the floor. He knew it was bad, but he didn’t cry, he sat there calm as can be, almost psychotic. The trainers talked to him trying to downplay the situation, but he knew what was wrong instantly. Due to this injury, he wasn’t able to partake in any draft combine and workouts. Which is the reason why he believes he fell so far in the draft.

18. My player is a standout candidate to be picked because Giles Marrett shows grit and determination that other players don’t. Even though he is new to the ISFL they have plenty of experience already and know they could build a dominant player. Giles is very team friendly, willing to do almost whatever it takes to bring home team success. Of course, he has some individual goals, but realistically all he cares about is winning. Does not matter if he is only logging 2-3 sacks a season at DE or 1-2 picks at DB. As long as the team is winning, he is happy. He eats, sleeps, and breathes football. It is something his family has even brought to his attention that is a problem at this point, something he needs to learn how to balance better in his life. Locker room wise he isn’t the most active, but he is a good experience when he does interact.

19. Thinking of additions to football stadiums is a lot harder than thinking of how to creatively make a baseball stadium. When you are looking at real life stadiums the majority feel almost cookie cutter, not as bad as basketball, but still bad. Not many stadiums have key features, or if they do it’s something small like the pool at Jaguar’s stadium. Which if I was building a stadium, I’m definitely putting a pool at one of the end zones. Thinking of other key features, you have another Florida team with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their pirate ship that fires it’s cannons when they score a touchdown. Now to a newer stadium I would want a roof and scoreboard similar to the Los Angeles Rams, having the circle scoreboard in the middle of the field is a really unique feature. Now to look at college stadiums I would want to bring over the run down the hill that takes part at Clemson university. Running down the hill and high fiving the yeti on the way down the hill.
