Orange County Otters
The first ever NSFL draft had a large player pool available and Westfield did himself no favors by failing to impress scouts in any of the drills. In the end he was taken in the 12th round in the inaugural draft with the 72nd overall pick. The Otters would finish with a 9-5 record and lose in the ASFC Championship game to the Arizona Outlaws. Westfield put up great first year numbers and would earn his first Pro Bowl designation.
2017 saw the Otters finish with a similar 8-6 recod and again lose in the ASFC Championship Game to the Arizona Outlaws. The same could be said for Westfield as he put up similar stats and again make the 2017 ISFL Pro Bowl (S2). The 2018 season followed in a similar fashion to previous ones, as the Otters finished with an 8-6 record and yet again tasted defeat against their rivals, the Outlaws in the ASFC Championship Game. Westfield, on the other hand, elevated his level of play, turning into a true superstar receiver and putting up league-leading statistics. He would be voted as the wide receiver of the year and would make the 2018 ISFL Pro Bowl (S3).
The 2019 season seemed destined to a similar fate after a 9-5 regular season, Boss helped the Otters take revenge by defeating the Outlaws in the ASFC Championship Game 27-9. The league-best passing offence would not be stopped as Westfield torched the Wraiths for 145 yards on 6 receptions and two receiving touchdowns in a 30-23 win in Ultimus Bowl IV.
The Otters - and Westfield - continued their high-level play in 2020 where he was able to win his second Wide Receiver of the Year award, finishing 11-3 in the regular season and destroyed the Outlaws in the ASFC Championship Game where Westfield caught 6 balls for 119 yards and one touchdown. Ultimus Bowl V was an ugly, defensive battle but eventually, the Otters came out on top and Westfield helped his team win with 141 yards on 6 receptions.
Westfield would continue his and the Otters dominance in 2021, catching 79 passes for 1540 yards and 12 touchdowns and marching to an 11-3 regular-season record while winning his third Wide Receiver of the Year award. The Otters would face a new opponent in the ASFC Championship Game in the San Jose Sabercats and escape with a narrow 32-29 victory. They would then defeat the Philadelphia Liberty in Ultimus Bowl VI with Westfield catching 7 balls for 130 yards and a touchdown, and complete their first three-peat by winning three consecutive championships in the NSFL.
With the Otters going through significant player overturn in 2022, Westfield didn't let that affect his play as he led the league in receiving yards and touchdowns with 1620 yards and 15 touchdowns, winning his fourth Wide Receiver of the Year award. With those stats, he helped the Otters to a 13-1 record in the regular season and an overwhelming 48-24 victory over the Outlaws in the ASFC Championship Game. Looking for his and the Otters record fourth championship in a row, to fully cement their dynasty, they were stunned after the Philadelphia Liberty returned the opening kick-off 103 yards for a touchdown. They would never come back from this and end up losing 28-19 in Ultimus Bowl VII.
The 2023 season involved changes in the front office along with a blockbuster trade for safety Jaylon Broxton, but Westfield continued his high level of play, leading the league in receiving touchdowns. He would help the Otters to a 10-4 record in the regular season but would lose to the New Orleans Second Line in the ASFC Championship Game. In 2024, The Otters would secure a 9-5 regular-season record but would again lose to the eventual Ultimus Bowl champions, the New Orleans Second Line in the ASFC Championship Game. Westfield would continue to be one of the top three receivers in the league but couldn't help his team advance further. The 2025 season would turn out to be Westfield's last season and he would keep up his consistency but ultimately after a 7-7 regular-season record, the Otters would again lose to the New Orleans Second line in the ASFC Championship game. Westfield was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2028.
