I was drafted 60th overall by the New York Silverbacks, but it certainly wasn’t what I was expecting. I was told by a few people to expect to go in the 4th round of the draft. I didn’t. It took until the end of the fifth round for my name to be called. The Orange County Otters selected an inactive running back over me, and I think that has kind of inspired me to continue to be active. To prove everyone wrong. So I think if I had gone a little bit earlier, I wouldn’t have had that chip on my shoulder that ales me pay attention to the league, and do every point task. Speaking of getting drafted by New York, they’ve been extremely helpful in my introduction to the ISFL, and have aided me tremendously. I can’t speak for the quality of Orange County’s locker room, and I’m sure they’re very helpful as well, but New York really seems like the place for me. They have morphed me into someone who does every point task, and someone that knows how the league operates. And for that, I am very grateful. Although I slid in the draft, I went to a place that I think really wants to help me succeed. That’s why I think if I went earlier, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
