Good Player (born February 7, 2032) is an American football defensive end who is currently playing for the Norfolk Seawolves of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL). He played college football for University of Washington (Washington).

Early years

Born in Seattle, WA. Started Football at a young age, initially excelling at the youth level as a RB with his natural size and speed. By middle school he started playing as a dual position player, spitting time between RB and DE, quickly rising to be a standout performer on both sides of the ball. Helped lead his high school to 2 straight state titles in his Junior and Senior years, making a profound impact with his running, but generating much more interest as a defender from college scouts with his larger frame and strength. Ultimately signed to the University of Washington, staying in state and commiting to defense full-time, after flirting briefly with numerous FCS schools, spurred on by the prospect of continuing his career at RB. Graduated high school with academic honorable mention, maintaining a 3.2 GPA during the course of his 4 years. Has 3 younger siblings, 2 sisters and 1 brother, the latter of whom is trying to follow in his older brother's footsteps as he embarks on his own athletic journey.

College career

Came to University of Washington and immediately saw the field as a True Freshman, appearing in all 13 games for the team, starting 4, and amassing 3 sacks, 22 tackles, 1 forced fumble, and 2 fumble recoveries. Saw limited usage on offense as a jumbo set TE and FB, no recorded carries or targets. His sophomore season saw an increase in playing time, moving to a full-time starter at defensive end. Appeared in 13 games again, this time starting in all of them and putting together an impressive campaign, 29 tackles, 7 sacks, and one fumble recovered as he sw his team begin to have more success around him, finishing 4th in the Pac-10 and ending the season with a 9-4 record. In his Junior season, he began to fully realize his collegiate potential, attracting attention from pro scouts in his 14 game season, racking up 13 sacks and 41 tackles, winning Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year honors, and being named to the numerous All-America teams at the end of the season, adding numerous individual successes and accolades to pair with a tremendous season from his school, appearing in and winning the Rose Bowl and their conference, with Good Player registering a strip sack and fumble recovery for a TD late in the 3rd Quarter of the Conference Championship. After his Junior season, he made the difficult, but much anticipated, decision to turn professional, officially declaring for the draft.

Professional career

Sam Mercury's first professional season with the Baltimore Hawks was underwhelming to say the least. It was always going to be difficult for him to put up any meaningful stats as he was playing behind two of the league's best receivers but it was still disappointing nonetheless. Mercury would play in all 16 games for the Hawks and offer a safety valve over the middle for his quarterback. He would finish second among rookie receivers in receptions during the regular season but it only amount to an average of 7.1 yards per reception. This can be chalked up to a red shirt season essentially as Mercury did not get to line up on the outside for his routes so he could not put his elite speed to use. Despite the lack of explosive plays he still had some memorable games and helped the Hawks to a 12-4 regular season record. In the two playoff games the Hawks would appear in Mercury did a bit more with the ball in his hands as he combined for 8 receptions for 99 yards. They would lose in heartbreaking fashion and fall one game short of the Ultimus. Now, headed into year two, it is likely Mercury remains in the same role he filled in his rookie season so expecting a sophomore leap will likely not come to fruition.
