The FCF held their WEEK 3 DRAFT at the Infinity Energy Center in Duluth, GA on Wednesday night which featured another round of Man-Up Challenges and the announcement of the third round of franchise player tags for each club.
In the Man Up Challenge, Braden Smith was spectacular with 17 points to take home the honors among the four quarterbacks featured while wide receiver Joseph Boykin led all offensive receivers with 15 points. James Gales Jr. from the Heavy Hitters took home the badge for the defenders with nine points as he stood tall defensively in the endzone throughout the challenge. Each player will receive a Power Up award during their week three games on Saturday night.
Before the first round of the draft, the following players were tagged as franchise players for the following teams;
TJ Edwards II – Beasts; joining Troy Evans Jr. and Quinton Flowers
KaVontae Turpin – Glacier Boyz; joining David Pindell and Andrew Jamiel
Richaud Floyd – Wild Aces; joining Jackson Erdmann and LaDarius Galloway
Travis Toivonen – Zappers; joining Johnny Manziel and Anthony Jones
Each team was given six selections in the six round snake style draft with the Zappers (0-2) selecting quarterback Logan Marchi with the first overall pick. The drafted players entertained all night with costumes, wrestling and dance moves, and their own personal style during introductions. Beer Pong, Cornhole, ping pong, and casual Champion gear took control of the playing field once again as players had some time to relax ahead of a critical set of games on Saturday Night.
