(S23) - PT 4 - The Butterfly Effect

[Jo3fish5]

Well this is easy. The biggest turning point in Joseph Petrongolo's career was when he was asked to switch his position from a tight end to a running back. His entire career, Joseph Petrongolo had been a tight end. Starting young, when he helped his peewee team win the peewee Superbowl in 2026 where he racked up over 200 yards receiving and 3 touchdowns, including an 83 yard bomb on his team's opening drive.

In high school Petrongolo was a four year varsity starter, and helped lead his team to two New Jersey state championship titles, scoring touchdowns in both games.

In college Joseph had an excellent freshman season however he was unable to keep up such a high level of performance due to a family emergency his sophomore year.

Drafted as a tight end to the Portland Pythons in the 2037 DSFL draft, the entire course of Petrongolo's career would change when he was asked by a member of the Pythons staff to switch positions and play as a running back in the upcoming season. At the position, Petrongolo had a great season, rushing for almost 1200 yards and 5 touchdowns. To put these numbers in perspective, the Pythons' two tight ends that season had just over 400 yards combined and only one touchdown between them. This position swap was definitely a good choice, at least so far, for Petrongolo who is looking to improve on his numbers from last season.
