(S14) - PT 1 - Draft Day

[Furrand]

To be fair, even though I thought I would go higher, I can't complain and I can't think I'd rather go to a different team. I want to be better, I have to be better. I was picked in Round 11. 2 Offensive Linemen went in front of me. I wasn't the strongest, but I know how to block; isn't that what matters. No. Strength is all that matters. 11 pancakes, 1 sack in the prospect bowls, evidently that isn't enough. It was an emotional day to day the least. Everything was spinning when I got the from the Bears. I couldn't believe i finally made it after all the years of fighting to prove others wrong. My family was there, all day long, through the 11 long rounds until my name was finally called. It was a whirlwind. We through a celebration party afterwards and everyone was there from my parents to my extended family. It was more of a family affair than anything else. Beforehand though it was one of the longer days I've been through. Round after round passing by and nothing happening. Never be a day like that, I think, with all the anticipation and waiting it's second to none.
