I was picked 52nd overall in season 24 ISFL Draft, Sarasota Sailfish picked me. I did not have high expectations for the draft. I remember thinking that getting picked would be enough. I did not have any specific teams that I would like to play for or anything like that.
Unfortunately, the competition for my position back then was fierce in Sarasota. I was not a player with huge potential. As I slowly started to progress it became evident that due to the competition I would not get to play much in Sarasota. I can't remember for sure how everything worked out, but after ongoing negotiations between my people and the management in Sarasota, we decided that a trade would be the best for all parties. I was moved to Yellowknife, they had room for kicker/punter, so I knew I would get to play more.
Looking back now I think the move for me personally was a great one. I indeed got to play a lot and not so long ago Yellowknife were the champions! Now if you look up the site, you see the Sarasota championship banner, so I can only guess and say the move worked out just fine for them!
I have nothing but positive memories about the draft and everything that happened after that. Both organizations have quality people in charge, I got into a solid place, and I'm happy here.
