Many football players hate playing this time of year. The cold weather saps both energy from the body and enjoyment from the game, and it can be hard to stay motivated as the days get shorter and colder. Maintaining a high level of play can be challenging, and a lot of players have to work extra hard in order to continue performing at an NSFL level.

But not Quenton Bode.

Growing up in chilly Anchorage, Alaska, Bode quickly got used to playing in brutally cold temperatures. On top of that, however, is the fact that Bode is literally a polar bear: he is perfectly suited for these colder temperatures. Between his upbringing and his biology, Bode has no problems whatsoever when it comes to playing football when the temperature starts to drop. In fact, the four years he's spent in New Orleans (and the one year he spent in San Antonio) have him eagerly awaiting a chance to play in conditions like these. So, while most of his teammates and his opponents will try to find ways to keep themselves warm during the upcoming months, Bode is one of those rare few who welcomes the change in weather with open arms--or, in his case, open paws.
