Task 10
My newest player in the league, Marcus Jones is about to find himself drafted into the ISFL and it's been a fun journey for him to get here so far. Marcus was born in Oakland, the son of Michael Jones, a former tight end who bounced around a few rosters in the NFL (it was while he was on the Raiders that Marcus was born) and had some success playing in the CFL also. Marcus was the youngest of four brothers, all of whom grew up with a love for the sport that their father had made a living playing. They'd often have family games that spilled over the line physically, but it prepared all four brothers to have a good shot at pursuing a career in the game. Marcus was a talented prospect in high school, playing running back and being named as the starter of the team at the position in only his freshman year of high school. Playing as a younger player on a program that was one of the most successful programs in California really helped Marcus to elevate his skillset and provided him with an understanding of what he would need to do in order to be a successful football player at the highest levels. He was recruited to a variety of college programs during his time in high school, with a variety of teams offering him to try out at different positions. He was offered a spot at powerhouse schools like Alabama and Ohio State but chose to stay local and attend the University of California at Berkeley. During his first few months at Berkeley, his coaches urged him to try and play snaps at linebacker, believing his physical attributes and understanding of the game would really enable him to flourish at the position. Marcus took their advice and soon found himself seeing regular snaps at the position during his freshman year, and although he wasn't able to secure the starting job straight away, his strong play as both a rotational pass rusher and off ball linebacker meant that it wasn't long before he earned the chance to take the starting role as his own. His successful college career paved the way for him to go on and enter both the ISFL and the DSFL. Having the chance to play at a high level throughout his career has taught Marcus a lot, and he's excited to be able to enter the ISFL draft this season and continue to add more chapters to this story!
Task 16
As a part of the S29 ISFL draft, I've been having tons of scouting conversations over the last week or so with teams that are interested in drafting my player so this is definitely a topic that I've been thinking about quite a bit lately. In terms of what I can bring to a team, I've been a sim league member and a part of this league for a long time. I've got experience in knowing what works and what doesn't work in terms of locker rooms etc. I'm someone that teams can rely on to earn TPE and build a player who'll do everything he can to help them win games, and at the same time try and help take the weight off younger teammates. I've got experience of being part of war rooms and team management to varying levels too, so I feel like I can definitely help teams out in that regard. The team who drafts me is going to get someone who'll be good for their locker room, and at the same time a player who's going to be a beast on the field in my opinion. I'm coming to win multiple rings this time around and have a Hall of Fame career, so I feel like the team that drafts me isn't going to be disappointed.
