With a large player pool available in the draft, many spots to fill and inconclusive scouting the inaugural draft was a shot in the dark for many teams. Miller was able to impress scouts with a bench press result of 47, that was also good for the best result of the whole combine, but being a defensive tackle, Miller was only drafted by the San Jose Sabercats, with the 88th overall pick. The Sabercats would have growing pains and finish with a disappointing 4-10 record and miss out on the playoffs. Miller would have a middle of the pack season, recording 51 tackles, four tackles for loss and 10 sacks.

With a large player pool available in the draft, many spots to fill and inconclusive scouting the inaugural draft was a shot in the dark for many teams. Ernston was able to impress scouts with a 38 vertical jump, that was also good for the third best result of the whole combine. In the end, Ernston was drafted to the Arizona Outlaws with the 79th overall pick. During the first ever season of the [[NSFL]] the {{tf|ARI}}finished with a record of 9-5, tied with the Orange County Otters for first in the [[ASFC]]. The Outlaws blew out the Otters in the ASFC Championship Game, before going to the Ultimus to face the Colorado Yeti. They would blow out the Yeti in the first Ultimus Bowl as well, and were crowned the first ever champions of the NSFL. Ernston had a great first season with 85 tackles, 3 forced fumbles and fumble recoveries, 12 sacks and give passes defended and earned his first Pro Bowl award.

{{nsfly|2}} saw the addition of two new expansion teams to the league, but that did not affect the Sabercats as they finished with the same disappointing 4-10 record, and again missed the playoffs. Miller did not help out his team's cause as his play did not improve and it also showed in the statistics, which were stagnant apart from tackles which surprisingly dropped. {{nsfly|3}} was a totally different season for Miller who had a career year and would be the best season of his career and also earn his first Pro Bowl award. He would record 81 tackles, 3 tackles for loss 4 forced fumbles and 24 sacks, which was a league record at the time. This was not enough to help the Sabercats make it to the playoffs, but they would improve their record to 5-8-1.

{{nsfly|2}} saw the addition of two new expansion teams to the league, but the defending champions came out pretty unscathed. The Outlaws saw little competition during the season as they put together both the number one offense and defense and earned the top [[ASFC]] spot. {{tf|OCO}} would play a tight game in the conference championship game, but {{tf|ARI}} would win and steam roll over the {{tf|BAL}} in the Ultimus, routing them 33-6. Ernston would keep up his great play racking up 110 tackles, 7 TFL, 16 sacks and 5 interceptions, and adding his second straight Pro Bowl award. In {{nsfly|3}} Arizona was in a league of their own blowing through the NSFL, almost going undefeated with their only blemish being an overtime loss to the {{tf|BAL}}. In the playoffs they would toss aside the {{tf|OCO}} and setup a rematch against {{tf|BAL}}, where they would not only beat them, but down right embarrass them, winning 49-12 and earning their third straight Ultimus Championship. Ernston would have similar numbers to previous seasons but would not be voted to a third straight Pro Bowl.

The {{nsfly|4}} season was a huge improvement for the Sabercats and their league-leading defence. With certain position switches, the Sabercats would go 9-5 in the regular season and finish tied with the Orange County Otters for second in their conference, but with a worse point differential, they would lose the tiebreaker and heartbreakingly miss the playoffs. Miller would contribute to this ferocious defence recording 52 tackles, 2 fumble recoveries and 16 tackles, and his second straight Pro Bowl designation. The {{nsfly|5}} season would be much of the same for the Sabercats as they would have one of, if not the best defences in the league led by Miller. He would not have one of his best seasons statistically, but would still earn a Pro Bowl award. The Sabercats would go 8-6 and be tied with the {{tf|ARI}} for second in the [[ASFC]], but again lose out on a playoff spot due to their worse point differential.
+
The {{nsfly|4}} season had the Outlaws go 12-2 in the regular season and be the top seed for the [[ASFC]]. Things wouldn't go as planned though as they would end losing to the {{tf|OCO}} in the ASFC Championship game. Ernston would try and play his part, posting great stats especially in sacks and passes defended. For the first time, the {{tf|ARI}} would not be the 1st seed in the ASFC, in the {{nsfly|5}} season as they went 8-6 and lose to the {{tf|OCO}} in the ASFC Championship game. Ernston would do his all to help the Outlaws as he had the best season of his whole career, with triple digit tackles and double digit TFL, sacks and passes defendedn. Ernston would end up winning his only Defensive Player of the Year award.

The {{nsfly|6}} season was a huge improvement for the Sabercats and Miller compared to the previous season. They would go 11-3 in the regular season and finally make the playoffs for the first time in their franchise history. Miller would improve across all statistical categories compared to previous seasons and again earn a Pro Bowl designation. Sadly the Sabercats would end up losing to the {{tf|OCO}} in the first round of the playoffs, with the Otters hitting the game-winning field goal with 34 seconds remaining. This would end up being Miller's last season in San Jose as he was traded to the {{tf|COL}} for the {{nsfly|7}} season

The {{nsfly|6}} season was a let down for the {{tf|ARI}} and Ernston as they would go 8-6 in the regular season but miss out on the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Ernston's play and stats would not be at the same level and he would not be able to help his team as much as he hoped. {{nsfly|7}} would be a weird season for the {{tf|ARI}} as they would have their worst regular season record in their franchise history, of 5-9 but through some miracle still make the playoffs. They had no chance in the ASFC Championship game, losing to the 12-2 {{tf|OCO}}. Ernston could not be faulted for his effort as he racked up 17 sacks and 16 passes defended, which are both single season records for him.

The {{nsfly|8}} season was another dissapointment for the {{tf|ARI}} as they again finished with a 5-9 record and missed the playoffs. Ernston continued his stellar play again contributing across different statistics, a highlight being his 6 tackles for loss. The {{nsfly|9}} season would end up being Ernstons last season as the {{tf|ARI}} would struggle to 3 wins in the regualr season. Ernston tried to help his young team as much as he could and put up a decent statistical season. Hariff Ernston was inducted into the Hall Of Fame in 2027.

Colorado had endured a winless {{nsfly|6|nolink}} season and hoped Miller could add to their defence and help their fortunes. In the end, Colorado would continue their awful record into the {{nsfly|7|nolink}} season and end up being winless across two seasons. They would end up having the worst defence in the league, although Miller would try his best to help the Yeti out, and would end up garnering his fifth straight Pro Bowl award. The {{nsfly|8}} season would be a huge improvement for the Yeti and they would have a fearsome run defence, led by the Miller who would earn his 6th straight and final Pro Bowl award. The Yeti would finish 6-8 and put their winless seasons behind them. The {{nsfly|9}} season would bring the Yeti back to the playoffs on the back of an 8-6 regular season. They would ultimately end up losing to the {{tf|BAL}} in the first round of the playoffs by a score of 40-34. This would end up being Miller's last season in the NSFL, but he would leave with a bang, recording his second-highest season sack total of 19.

Arizona Outlaws

With a large player pool available in the draft, many spots to fill and inconclusive scouting the inaugural draft was a shot in the dark for many teams. Ernston was able to impress scouts with a 38 vertical jump, that was also good for the third best result of the whole combine. In the end, Ernston was drafted to the Arizona Outlaws with the 79th overall pick. During the first ever season of the NSFL the Arizona Outlawsfinished with a record of 9-5, tied with the Orange County Otters for first in the ASFC. The Outlaws blew out the Otters in the ASFC Championship Game, before going to the Ultimus to face the Colorado Yeti. They would blow out the Yeti in the first Ultimus Bowl as well, and were crowned the first ever champions of the NSFL. Ernston had a great first season with 85 tackles, 3 forced fumbles and fumble recoveries, 12 sacks and give passes defended and earned his first Pro Bowl award.

2017 (S2) saw the addition of two new expansion teams to the league, but the defending champions came out pretty unscathed. The Outlaws saw little competition during the season as they put together both the number one offense and defense and earned the top ASFC spot. Orange County Otters would play a tight game in the conference championship game, but Arizona Outlaws would win and steam roll over the Baltimore Hawks in the Ultimus, routing them 33-6. Ernston would keep up his great play racking up 110 tackles, 7 TFL, 16 sacks and 5 interceptions, and adding his second straight Pro Bowl award. In 2018 (S3) Arizona was in a league of their own blowing through the NSFL, almost going undefeated with their only blemish being an overtime loss to the Baltimore Hawks. In the playoffs they would toss aside the Orange County Otters and setup a rematch against Baltimore Hawks, where they would not only beat them, but down right embarrass them, winning 49-12 and earning their third straight Ultimus Championship. Ernston would have similar numbers to previous seasons but would not be voted to a third straight Pro Bowl.

The 2019 (S4) season had the Outlaws go 12-2 in the regular season and be the top seed for the ASFC. Things wouldn't go as planned though as they would end losing to the Orange County Otters in the ASFC Championship game. Ernston would try and play his part, posting great stats especially in sacks and passes defended. For the first time, the Arizona Outlaws would not be the 1st seed in the ASFC, in the 2020 (S5) season as they went 8-6 and lose to the Orange County Otters in the ASFC Championship game. Ernston would do his all to help the Outlaws as he had the best season of his whole career, with triple digit tackles and double digit TFL, sacks and passes defendedn. Ernston would end up winning his only Defensive Player of the Year award.

The 2021 (S6) season was a let down for the Arizona Outlaws and Ernston as they would go 8-6 in the regular season but miss out on the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Ernston's play and stats would not be at the same level and he would not be able to help his team as much as he hoped. 2022 (S7) would be a weird season for the Arizona Outlaws as they would have their worst regular season record in their franchise history, of 5-9 but through some miracle still make the playoffs. They had no chance in the ASFC Championship game, losing to the 12-2 Orange County Otters. Ernston could not be faulted for his effort as he racked up 17 sacks and 16 passes defended, which are both single season records for him.

The 2023 (S8) season was another dissapointment for the Arizona Outlaws as they again finished with a 5-9 record and missed the playoffs. Ernston continued his stellar play again contributing across different statistics, a highlight being his 6 tackles for loss. The 2024 (S9) season would end up being Ernstons last season as the Arizona Outlaws would struggle to 3 wins in the regualr season. Ernston tried to help his young team as much as he could and put up a decent statistical season. Hariff Ernston was inducted into the Hall Of Fame in 2027.
