Tier 2 Prompt 7
My experience in the DSFL so far has been great, everyone that I’ve interacted with in the locker room and discord, Beck has been super helpful and friendly to me ever since I was picked up by Norfolk this season but nearly everyone there has been nice and helpful. Not to mention all the rookie mentors that helped me figure out the maze of the forums. As for how my season in the DSFL went, I was pretty happy with it. I got picked up from waivers by the Norfolk Seawolves after the trade deadline since I was a late entry to the class, and enjoyed every moment of the season with them. While the individual stats I was putting up weren't what I was expecting, countless 1 or 2 tackle games with a sack, it was still a blast to be playing and contributing to the team. I need to temper my expectations as I was a waiver pickup as a complete newbie to the league and I wasn't going to put up DPoY numbers right out of the gate. I am continuing to gain TPE and train my attributes to be better so I'm more impactful come gameday. The season ended on an ultimate highnote for me as our team went on a late season run and snuck into the playoffs and eventually found ourselves playing in the Ultimini against Minnesota, we won the game and I can call myself an Ultimini Champ even before I am officially drafted. While I am still a prospect waiting to be drafted, the whole process is new to me and I am enjoying every bit of it. Been in contact with a handful of GMs and Co-GMs doing pre draft interviews, something that I’ve never done before. I am excited to watch the prospect bowl in the coming days and continue the draft process and eventually take part in the DSFL draft.

Tier 3 Prompt 25
If I couldn't play as a linebacker I think I would have to stick on defensive side and play safety, just like linebackers they are super important to the defensive scheme and their defensive efforts don't go unnoticed, they can act in a similar fashion to a linebacker in that they blitz, stop the run, cover the pass and act as a swiss army knife for the defensive front. Corner could be fun but I don't wanna be burnt toast and cost my team games all of the time. Playing on the Dline would be my 2nd choice after safety, blitzing and going after the quarterback and getting sacks is a fun impactful way to play but the only downside is that most of the impact DLine can make doesnt show up on the box score all the time. An additional reason I would pick safety is that some of my favorite players play or have played the safety position and I would want to emulate their playstyle and hope to live up to their careers.

Tier 3 Prompt 22
If I was in charge of the halftime show I would change the focus of the show, before it was all about the show and the marketing of the show and not about the actual performance. This leaves the halftime show feeling corporate and the artists putting out subpar performances. For my halftime show I would ‘Keep it simple stupid’. We would need an artist that's big and has mainstream appeal, I would pick glass animals as they have nice pop-ish hits that also perform well live. For lighting and effects I would pick the usual neon lights, pyrotechnics, and stage props that the artist needs. A stage that is easily accessible from all sides of the stadium seating is a must, as no one wants to watch the back of the concert. I would also call Prince and his team to see if it's possible to make it rain during the halftime show since that's the coolest.
