History
The New York Silverbacks were introduced to the ISFL after the second largest draft class in league history appeared with the Season 25 ISFL Draft. Unlike past expansion teams GM Woelkers made a move in the off-season to get his quarterback of the future in Sam Howitzer with the Yellowknife Wraiths. The Silverbacks swapped picks with the Wraiths in rounds 1, 2, and 4 and giving up a 3rd round pick to get the franchise quarterback. The trades did not stop there as the GMs for New York moved from the 2nd to the 5th and then to the 13th after a trade with the Colorado Yeti that saw New York get Ashley Owens and Thor Kirby while giving up their swapped second and getting back their third. New York believed that in the stacked draft class they could afford to move down spots and it showed as in just their second season in the league the New York Silverbacks were able to make the playoffs, and even the conference championship game.
The expansion draft worked different for New York than it did for Berlin Fire Salamanders as they had already secured their Quarterback, New York went with a playmaker on defense with their first pick, and secured linebacker Jack Banks from the Honolulu Hahalua. Due to having a solid QB they needed a playmaker and grabbed Jackson Kingston from the Colorado Yeti a receiver who had flown a bit under the radar and would end up breaking out for the franchise securing breakout player of the year in his first season with the club. Another notable pick in the draft included corner Lord Beerus longtime player for the Orange County Otters who the GMs of New York then traded back to them for a fourth round pick and a future third.
