Essex Ravens excited for Windsor's NFL Draft Party

The NFL Draft Party is shaping up to be a fun celebration for the Windsor-Essex sports community. The festivities start at noon in front of City Hall with the NFL Canada Fan Experience, Viewing Party, Fan Competitions and Skills Clinic.


We recently caught up with the Essex Ravens' Bantam team and some are excited to test their ability in the skills competition (NFL Combine style.). They are looking forward to meeting former NFL players from our region including Luke Willson, OJ Atogwe, Dakota Shepley, Brett Romberg and Ed Philion.



The Ravens are also looking to see where Holy Names grad Theo Johnson will get drafted.

His college stat sheet doesn't grab your attention with less than a thousand yards receiving and 12 touchdowns in four seasons.


Johnson did grab everyone's attention at the NFL Combine. "I thought he dominated the combine." Former NFL'er Luke Willson told Powerplay Sports.


NFL Analyst Lance Zierlein has Johnson projected to be drafted in the third round in Detroit Friday night.

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
