13 - This task is exclusive to non-recreate rookies of the S24 class and later. In 400 words or more, how has your experience been in the league? Who have you met that has made your time here more fun, friendly, and exciting? Have you been satisfied with your player’s early start? What was it like being drafted for the first time? Do you have any comments or suggestions for the entire league that you think should be implemented?
My experience in the league is like none I would have ever expected to have. I was insanely lucky to happen to be checking r/NFL on the day recruitment threads were being posted for the class of S25, and while it was all very intimidating at first, this whole experience has been an absolute dream so far. Just as a user alone, I got to brand my very own prospect team - the Tiburon Landsharks, I was a 2nd round pick and the 1st offensive linemen drafted by a team, I was made a war room member for the Kansas City Coyotes after my first week with the team, and I was made the head GM of the team after only half a season. I've also already gotten to do commentary for an awards stream, and have made an insane amount of friends within the community. Shoutouts should go to Butters and Matty first, as they're the ones who drafted me and had the faith to allow some new guy to takeover for them. They've been insanely friendly and helpful each step of the way, and I couldn't have made it this far without them. I truly do owe my ISFL experience to them wholly. Simo's another guy I want to give a ton of credit to, as he is an absolutely amazing Co-GM and I could not imagine this going as smooth as it has without the effort he puts in. The same can be said about my friend Slate, who while he isn't GM, he might as well be the 3rd GM of KCC. He's one of my favorite users here, and I'm so glad to be on this team with him. The entirety of KCC's actives for that matter, have all been a wonderful group. Every day I'm thankful for the fact that I'm on this team. Special shoutouts to Jeffie of OCO and Frost of Sarasota, who are absolutely amazing guys as well. They're constantly interacting with me in some of the most genuinely funniest and kindest ways, and I'm glad to be able to call both of them my friend. There's a lot of people I wish I could talk about here, but for the sake of the grader, I'll stop it here.
I didn't expect to have such an incredible path in the ISFL, but seeing myself drafted in the 2nd round to KCC was an absolute dream. I wanted to be a Coyote, and I felt myself worrying more and more that maybe I hadn't done enough to be worth their pick. So to be taken as high as I was by them was more elating than I can describe. Now sadly, my player, Felix Archstone, is not exactly the greatest linemen on the Coyotes. He has 34 pancakes and 2 sacks allowed on the season, which is pretty average. But I'm confident that I can keep building him up into something great over time. After all, I'm max earning on OL, so I can't imagine the sim will punish me too hard!
All in all, I'm looking forward to the ISFL draft tomorrow, and pushing towards doing more in the league. This whole experience has been insanely wonderful, so I can't wait to continue experiencing more and more!

26 - Select any player who was drafted in the back half of a DSFL or ISFL draft. Show how that player has outperformed their draft position, or how they will soon do so. You cannot write about your own player.
One person/player I think has COMPLETELY out performed where he was drafted, is my man Crodyman/Wasrabi Gleel, who is an LB that was drafted at the 58th spot by MIN. Crody is an absolutely amazing user, and I wish every day I was able to share a team with this man. The energy he brings as a user is something you'd be hard pressed to find by many others. You can tell he is absolutely loving every moment of the ISFL experience, and wants nothing but the best for everyone. He's constantly earning TPE, making multiple pieces of media weekly, and runs one of my favorite twitters in all of the league. But even besides the user, his player, Gleel, is a BEAST of a player that is surely going to make an ISFL team really happy as he continues improving. This is shown with his statline of 105 tackles, 4 TFLs, 5 sacks, an int, 4 PDs, and a touchdown! For a rookie especially, this is really good results. Only two other LB rookies did better than Gleel, making him one heck of a steal for the Ducks, as he completely played better than his drafting position. I genuinely feel as if the S25 class was redrafted in the DSFL, he would go way higher than he did.

27 - Some positions are still under appreciated. Talk about the offensive linemen and/or special teamers on your squad. Show how they have contributed to the team, both on and off the field, and why they deserve recognition.
Two guys I want to give huge props to are graVTx (Clay Stallworth) and WhatAmUs (Connor Quigley), who play OL for the Kansas City Coyotes. On the field, the stats really do speak for themselves. Grav's player, Stallworth, broke the DSFL single season pancake record at 71 total with only 2 sacks allowed all season. He also broke a single game record against London with 13 pancakes in a game! And then WhatAmUs' player, Quigley, had the most pancakes out of any center in the league at 47, with 4 sacks allowed on the season. Both players showed an insane amount of efficiency that not many teams can say they had the pleasure of having. And then off the field, Grav is a war room member for Kansas who is an absolutely great influence in the locker room. He's always here on game day, getting excited and hyped with the team, and always making people feel welcomed and appreciated. WhatAmUs is very similar in this regard, and he is absolutely one of the chillest guys you can meet in the ISFL. He's also pretty talented with music, and is working on a KCC theme song, which I'm sure will turn out great! What makes the story of WhatAmUs all the more impressive though, is that he came back from being IA at the beginning of the season, to really making an effort to do what he could to figure out how to get to updating and earning properly, so that he could really contribute to the team. He's been a max earner since, and has shown no signs of stopping. I consider myself very lucky to not only share the OLine with these guys, but the locker room as well!
