Franklin Armstrong is long past his draft days. He was in the S14 DSFL draft where he went in the 11th round. He was one of the last QB’s taken. DSFL teams regretted that decision as Armstrong won two of the next three Most Valuable Player Awards, won Offensive Player of the Year, Quarterback of the Year twice and went to three straight Ultimini’s winning one. Armstrong had one of the most prolific DSFL careers in DSFL history. In the NSFL draft in the following season, Armstrong, despite his amazing first DSFL season, went in the bottom of the 3rd round of the NSFL draft. He dropped to the Orange County Otters and proceeded to have one of the most prolific NSFL careers in NSFL history. Armstrong by now is a 2 time Quarterback of the Year, 3 time Most Valuable Player, 3 time Ultimus Champion, and 4 time Ultimus Offensive Player of the game. Armstrong is at the end of the road of his NSFL career but his draft day experiences have fueled him for his entire career and the chip on his shoulder is not going away. He has a chance to cement his legacy in the NSFL record books. He needs one more Ultimus Championship and one more MVP to break the record books. Amazing Armstrong!

The Draft, the day every young football player dream of. The chance to continue your playing career and truly make a name for yourself. For me it was no different, I came in with a very active rookie group with the likes of Asher Montain, Zoey Watts, and Maverick Bowie. Players that were garnering a ton of attention and looked to definite first round picks, which they eventually were. I had put myself right up there with them, definitely not as good as them but, I felt that I had the talent to go in the first round with the rest of them. Unfortunately, things do not always go according to plan. Family matters and a lack of reliable internet meant that the times I should have been updating and scoring some points with scouts was spent doing the opposite. By the time Draft day came around I felt like I had not made as big of an impact as I had wanted to. I mean my TPE was there but, the connections were not. However, even with all that taken into account I though for sure I would go in the first round with my friends. The first round came and went. No one called the name Brach Thomaslacher. Then the second round. Still, no one called my name and finally with the first pick in the 3rd round the Kansas City Coyotes gave me my chance! I was bummed to have watched all my friends go in the top round but, I knew that my player had a ton to prove and that falling lower in the draft had only fueled my fire and I am ready to show every other team what they missed out on!

As a newer user with my first player the S22 draft was a great experience to remember. The hype before the actual draft and articles posted helped create a wonderful environment. The mocks on where Haha Mango-Panda was going to be drafted all varied between the 2nd and 4th rounds. So going into it, I expected somewhere around there. My player Haha was in the top 3 of linebackers in terms of TPE. In terms of teams, I wasn't expected to be drafted into a specific team but Haha spoke to every team but 1, which will remain unnamed. So I wasn't expecting them to draft me, but otherwise I knew the other teams had their eyes on my player. Eventually, I was drafted by the Sarasota Sailfish in the 3rd round, 2nd pick, which is exciting and I was happy to be drafted there! To me, it wasn't too surprising, as the draft was unfolding I could see my Haha being picked along the great defensive players being selected. And Sarasota needed a strong linebacker group. Being drafted by the Sailfish has made Haha better as a player. He is the heart of the defense to help them grow. In turned out to be a successful in the inaugural season by making the playoffs.

My DSFL draft experience I barely cared about to be honest. I hadn't even posted or been active in a couple of weeks. I just happened to see the stream and I even caught my name being called. i remember that someone commented that they had no idea who I was and they had never seen me talk in the discord before. I then went on to max earn and I was very hyped for the NSFL draft. At the time I was pretty hopeful that I would be drafted by New Orleans. One of my best friends, Isastarcrossed, had gone 1oa to New Orleans that previous season and I hoped to match that feat. However I had a very strong feeling that they were going to draft Mack Arianlacher instead. I was being hyped as the best prospect in the draft next to Austin McCormick. A lot of people thought I could go first overall just based off of the fact that I was the highest TPE defensive player. I did thinkg there was a good chance I could go to New Orleans at third overall if I fell past San Jose. I actually ended up falling much farther than I expected when I went to the Orange County Otters. I had actually written a predraft article about Orange County being one of my top two destinations. So while I was disappointed that I slid in the draft I was very excited about where I ended up. In the long run I wouldn't have wanted the draft to play put any other way.
