[dtg108]

10. Write a short biography or story about your player. This could include background about how they came to the ISFL and how they’ve done so far, a story about their role in an exciting game, or anything else related to their experience in the league.

I was born in Louisville, KY to my mother Teresa and my father Benjamin (he went by ben). My father was a factory worker and my mother was a secretary- and they always taught me the value of working hard and going after what you want. My family relocated to Thomaston, Georgia when I was young, and I attended Robert Lee High School. There, I broke records for interceptions and defensive TDs. I'm also a huge golf guy, and I still play golf to this day (and maybe I'd be doing that if I wasn't going pro for football). I got offers from big schools like Alabama, and clemson, and Georgia, but I wanted to bring glory back to my hometown. So I attended the University of Louisville. I was only the second Robert Lee alumni ever to be a five star recruit. In my freshman year in 2043, I shattered the ACC interception record by 2 with 16 interceptions. I was on both the all-ACC and all-academic teams. I didn't win the heisman (it's too much of an offensive award) but I was one of the only defensive players to ever be in the final running. Even after all that, a lot of people doubted me due to my size and "lack of physicality". And the next decision was one of the hardest I've ever had to make, but I decided to stay at school instead of declaring for the draft. I had to prove to myself, and the people who didn't believe in me, that I was the greatest. In 2044, I was injured in training camp. It was one of the worst feelings of my life, and I was sure that my football career was gonna be down the drain. I was very blessed, however, and thank God, I got to play the second half of the season. However, despite playing well in my return, there are even more doubts about my injury history and will I be able to compete at the next level now. I am known for my quickness, speed, lateral movement, and ability to find the ball in the air. And if I can prove my doubters wrong and play with that potential from the university of Louisville, there's no limits to what I can accomplish. And I'll say this again- I know myself, and I know what I'm capable of, and I can promise you, passing on me due to my previous injury is gonna be the biggest mistake a team will ever make.

The season is over and the draft is coming up. What do you bring to a team, and why should a team choose to take a chance on you next season?

I bring a quickness, an agility, and an ability to find the ball that nobody in the league has. You look at guys like Minkah Fitzpatrick, Jaire Alexander, Xavier, those are guys I emulate. If you need a star on a lacking defense, or just another piece in an already solid defense, I'm your guy. I'm not here for the stats, or the money, I'm here to win, and I look forward to proving that every week. In addition, I look forward to being an active member in a community and with a team that has a great chemistry. I'm looking forward to winning, first and foremost. My ball tracking abilities are on an elite level, and you can see that with my play at Louisville. A lot of teams have doubts about me going into this season due to my injury history, and I can tell you this- you won't regret taking me. I can promise you that. Some teams are gonna pass on me due to injury concerns or whatever else- and I gotta be honest, I can tell you right now- they're making a huge mistake. And I look forward to showing them how big of a mistake that would be in the prospect bowl.

Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why?

 

I would definitely be a physical/red zone threat type wide receiver. I love being a DB and I knew the WR market was a bit saturated so I didn't choose it, but it would definitely be my second option. I grew up watching guys like Randy Moss, Antonio Brown, and Megatron, and I just love their game. There's nothing in the world more exciting than a good receiver, and they can make or break a team. The ability, and the competition with DBs, the route running, the crazy end zone grabs- those are stuff that's just fun to watch, and a reason I would love to play that guy. I'd love to be my team's Jerry Rice, or Randy Moss. I love the "diva" WR personalities, and the controversy they stir up. I would definitely be that guy 100%. And with my abilities that I have as a DB, the ball tracking, the speed, I think I would make a solid wide receiver. Watching Hines Ward in his prime, that's a type of guy I would love to emulate and when people saw me, they would think of him. I love those comparisons. So no doubt, it would be wide receiver.
