Well gee boy howdy, let me tell you all about the time Rusty Rucker got selected in the 2nd round by the Honolulu Hahalua in what is perhaps the greatest waste of both a draft pick and a players time in the history of the league. Whether due to the machinations of fate, panic or greed I ended up in a team that already had enough coverage at Linebacker, with a team who's sole scouting meeting with me consisted of them saying "You know a player we already know right?" and me saying "Yes." So you can't imagine my surprise when my name got called on draft night that I'd be landing there. What followed was concentrated mediocrity. A season of doing absolutely nothing as I played 50% of the snaps with an equal TPE linebacker doing neither of us any favours followed by being asked to play out of position which I granted, a decision which almost cost me an award nomination a season later upon going to a competent team. I'd like to speak more favourably on my draft experience, I really would, but frankly it's the closest I've come to going inactive and I wouldn't wish it on Zamir and he's a dink.
