Written option: Every player's career is made up of a number of turning points. What would have happened if you had gone down a different path instead – like choosing a different school, playing a different position, or being drafted by a different team? Describe the moment in question and how your career would be different from how it is now!
When I initially made my character I wasn't certain on which position I intended to play. I wanted to play defense, but I figured that playing offense within the league would be significantly more "fun" given you'd be able to put up big numbers in the box score. Initially I thought about playing WR, designing my character as a small/slot WR and really embracing the idea of being a "role player". I'm not sure what changed my mind, but upon further consideration I went with cornerback. CB is obviously a valuable position mechanically, but the real reason I chose the position came from following the same logic that had me leaning WR. Of course it's fun to play offense, so what's more fun than that - shutting down opposing WRs. Erasing them from the box score. Clamping them up. Wearing them like a seatbelt. Putting them behind bars. I could go on all day. I realized that I genuinely cherish the idea of erasing my opponents. Flying them out to a beautiful tropical island and leaving them stranded, forcing them to create a "SOS" sign out of driftwood and bones. I no longer cared about scoring "tuddies" or juking defenders out of their socks, rather I wanted to prevent the enemy from having *any fun*. I mean really make them suffer. Evil stuff. Someone has to be the bad guy, build some narratives - and I want that to be me.
