Johnny Blaze (born January 20, 2003) was an American football tight end for the Orange County Otters and the Sarasota Sailfish of the ISFL and for the Portland Pythons of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL). He played college football for Boston College (BC).
Early years
Johnny Blaze was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He did not cry for the first time as an infant until Grady Little decided to leave Pedro Martinez in for too long for Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. He would not cry again until October 27, 2004, when the Red Sox swept the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. Johnny was tough as nails, and would spend most of his childhood regretting the fact that he was not alive when the Patriots beat the Rams in Super Bowl 36. As some may imagine, this led to a childhood filled with self-harm and isolation. Rumor has it that Blaze only cried two more times in his entire childhood, and both were at the heavy hand of Eli Manning. He used this heartache to drive him and become the best football player he could be. He is a physical freak and an actual freak as well.
College career
Surprising everyone, it turned out that Blaze was actually a physically capable of being a good football player despite his clear lunacy. Blaze did what every dummy from Boston says they will do, but he actually did it: He played football at Boston College. Known world-wide for their fear of rain or any type of inclement weather, Blaze wanted to go there and show that the program could do a much better job at representing his city. Like everyone else who has followed in his footsteps, Blaze failed this goal miserably. Boston College was the epitome of mediocrity in the ACC during his entire time at the school. They played in several meaningless Bowl Games that are only used to pad the careers of coaches who will never make it in the big time. The team lost at least 4 games each season Blaze was there. Sure, Blaze was a beast playing for the Eagles, but they never had any extra pieces around him to make things work out. It's tough for a college program to build their offense around just a tight end and a few track stars on the outside.
Blaze would go on to be vocal about his unhappiness on Chestnut Hill, but like every other player at BC ever, nobody really cared what he had to say. Blaze would put up ACC leading numbers in touchdowns for three of his four seasons, and set the Boston College record for TE TD in a season with 13, that still to this day has not been conquered.
Blaze was an All-Time standout at Boston College and rumor has it that the program is considering adding his number to the Eagles Ring of Honor. Blaze has the opportunity to be beside greats such as: Doug Flutie, Matt Ryan, Will Blackmon, William Green, Luke Kuechely, and Tom Coughlin.
Professional career
DSFL career
Blaze played his first season for the Portland Pythons and as a rookie in the DSFL was tied for the league lead with eight touchdowns.
