To: Coach O"Neal and the Billings Outlaws.
From: Travonti Johnston, New York Giants

Coach, please pass on my thanks to your staff, ownership and my former
teammates who all helped me get a look from the NFL. I signed and have been
in camp 2 weeks now with the New York Giants and have a great shot with them.

It is clear from my discussions with the coaches, agents and scouts
that the visibility I had with the Outlaws, your connections and
persistence in getting me workouts with the Sabercats and the Giants, your
personal calls to these teams and the film, playing time, stats, live
broadcasts and league honors really helped separate me from other great
athletes. I also appreciated your ownership's effort to get me to these
workouts and cover some of my expenses to pursue my dreams of playing in
the NFL. I think it really helped that the IFL rules are more NFL like and
allowed me to display skills that the NFL is looking for.

Best of luck to you this season. I know you will be successful on the field
and in your tireless efforts to promote your best talent to the next level!
