DSFL career

2048 Season

Heading into the 2048 season Salem was drafted 8th Overall putting pressure on the rookie to proceed but he did not let down. Everyone knew he had the talent but off the field drinking issues had to be sorted out first which was stated many a time by media questioning the decision however Salem soon shut up any of these media personal up by producing over 300 yards and 23 receptions in preseason including 2 touchdowns against the coyotes showing why Salem wasn't to be doubted.

In the end Salem was a devastating option for Norfolk providing over 1300 yards on 80 receptions putting him near the top of many categories however in the end a lack of touchdowns due to being part of a stacked receiver room led to him being snubbed for any awards however this was not for vain as these yards helped to lead Norfolk to sneak into the playoffs eventually topping off the season by lifting the Ultimini trophy.

2049 Season

After an incredible rookie season, Salem knew it would be hard to improve however after moving up to the WR1 Spot the potential to improve opened up. After the team opened up the first half of the season 1-6 the hopes of making it back to the playoffs were slowly dying however this did not dim Salem's spirit. Even though the team eventually ended at a miserable 3-11 Salem finished the season at a league-leading 1489 yards as well as an additional 8 touchdowns.

Following on to the offseason Salem was high up multiple awards discussions, with this being a large goal of Salem's he was praying to have that precious moment. Heading into the draft night Salem was nominated for two awards, Wide Reciever and Offensive Player Of The Year. With an amazing season at Wide Reciever Salem ended up winning the Wide Reciever Of The Year Award topping of the end of a great DSFL award before a likely call up to the ISFL.

ISFL career

2050 Season

After 2 great seasons in the DSFL Salem was seen to be good enough to be called up to the ISFL however his ISFL career started off on the wrong foot. Moving from Norfolk To Sarasota Salem has quickly gouged into the local restaurant scene however by the time preseason rolled around Salem was already 40 pounds heavier. The Coaches quickly ridiculed him however after an offseason trade involving Sarasota receiving a new Wide Reciever Salem was moved to Tight End.

Salem hit the ground running in the season starting off with 2 touchdowns and 85 yards in week 1, Salem carried on this good form throughout the season eventually reaching just over 800 yards and 4 touchdowns including multiple 60+ yard touchdowns showing the added hamburgers and ribs in the offseason did not hurt his speed.

Entering into the offseason Salem was up there with the best of the TE's and rookies being Nominated for TE of The Year and Offensive Rookie of The Year barely missing out on the latter.

2051 Season

With a great rookie season under Salem's belt they aimed to carry on their performance level heading into 2051 and help lead Sarasota back into the playoffs. Salem started off the season on a slower pace with only 1 touchdown in their first 7 games however their lack of production was not holding back the Sarasota Offense with the team storming out to a 5-2 start and surely playoff bound. In the second half of the season this performance did not stop either with Salem stepping up and adding 5 more touchdowns in the final 9 games to help lead the team to an impressive 12-4 record finishing second in the NSFC and playoff bound.

In the playoffs Sarasota first faced Yellowknife in the wildcard game at home and in a close 25-22 victory Salem was nowhere to be seen with a measly 1 reception for 3 yards. Heading into the conference championship game hopes were high that Salem's production would increase and help Sarasota get into the Ultimus game. Although Salem's performance lacked again with only 4 receptions for 17 yards Sarasota curb stomped Chicago for a 22-2 victory. The players partied all night long knowing they were one step away from winning it all. Salem improved again in the ultimus game with 5 receptions for 31 yards however an impressive 4 down stop by the Honolulu defense on the final drive of the game led to Honolulu achieving back to back Ultimus wins in a 31-28 victory.
