Dino Nuggets (born June 3, 2034) is an American football cornerback who is currently preparing to enter the professional ranks. He played college football for University of Oregon and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Dino Nuggets was born in Portland, Oregon to Tyrannosaurus Rex (Dad) and Chicken Nugget (Mom). Tyrannosaurus Rex was an Olympic athlete while Chicken Nugget was eaten alive by millions on a daily basis. As you could imagine, doctors didn't know what to expect for Dino Nuggets. Nuggets overcame the odds, but was always one of the smallest kids in his classes growing up.

During his Senior year in High School, Nuggets hit a giant growth spurt and decided to start playing sports. While he was a star in baseball and track & field, football was where he really shined. Lining up at wide receiver, cornerback, returner, and sometimes quarterback in the wildcat formation, Nuggets led his team to a State Championship. College scouts took notice and he was a consensus 5* recruit across all major recruiting platforms including 247, ESPN, and Rivals.

On National Signing Day, with offers from every top school in the country, Nuggets decided to stay in his home state of Oregon and sign with the Oregon Ducks.

College career

As a true freshman, Nuggets made an impact on special teams as both a gunner and return man for the Oregon Ducks. He finished the season with two kickoff return touchdowns. » PFF All-Pac-12 first team (kick returner) » Freshman All-America first team (kick returner)

As a sophomore, Nuggets was plugged in as a starter at nickle cornerback. He led the Pac-12 with nine pass breakups and finished the year with 25 tackles, allowing a completion percentage of 52.9% when targeted. » PFF All-Pac-12 second team (cornerback) » Coaches Pac-12 All-Conference first team (cornerback)

As a junior, Nuggets was moved to boundary cornerback where he would go on to have his best season yet, helping lead the Oregon Ducks to their first ever National Championship. He finished the year with 65 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 5 pass breakups, 2 interceptions, and 1 forced fumble. » PFF All-Pac-12 first team (cornerback) » All-America first team (cornerback)

Professional career

2056

Dino Nuggets was drafted in the second round with the 10th overall pick of the S42 DSFL Draft by the Tijuana Luchadores. As a rookie, Nuggets started at cornerback across from Synyster Gates. Nuggets had a successful rookie campaign individually, finishing the year with 68 tackles, one tackle for loss, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, two interceptions, 15 pass deflections, and one blocked kick. Nuggets, along with running back Kyle Crane, were named captains by their fellow teammates. Nuggets went home with four defensive game balls over the course of the year. The Luchadores' defense as a whole finished second in the league in points against and would go on to finish the regular season with an 8-5-1 record. In the playoffs, the Luchadores would knock off the Bondi Beach Buccaneers in the first round and then the Kansas City Coyotes in the Ultimini to claim their 10th Championship.

2057

Dino Nuggets was drafted with the first overall pick of the S42 ISFL Draft by the New Orleans Second Line. With the Second Line in a clear rebuilding process, Nuggets was called up immediately to start at cornerback alongside one of the Second Line's first round picks from the S41 ISFL Draft, Ezra Azazel. Nuggets was one of two defensive backs to start for the Second Line as a true rookie, with the other being former Tijuana Luchadores teammate and first round pick Honey Humphries. As expected from a true rookie cornerback, Nuggets would go on to have a very up and down year in New Orleans. Nuggets finished the year with 52 tackles, two interceptions, and 21 pass deflections. As a team, the Second Line would go on to win just one game which came in the form of a 33-31 nail bitter in week five at San Jose SaberCats. While it was a rough year for the Second Line and Nuggets, the future looks bright in New Orleans.

2058

New Orleans Second Line cornerback Dino Nuggets made huge strides in his sophomore campaign. In the offseason, Nuggets put an emphasis on getting stronger as the physicality of the game took him by a bit of a surprise in his rookie season. In year one, Nuggets recorded 52 tackles but also had 10 missed tackles. That worked out to be a missed tackle every 5.2 tackles. In year two, Nuggets' hard work paid off on the field as he had 72 tackles but more importantly only two missed tackles. His average shot way up to a missed tackle every 36 tackles. He also had a forced fumble, which was the first of his ISFL career. Nuggets continued to provide good coverage, although still showing signs of inexperience at times. He matched his interception total from year one with two and had one more pass deflection with 22. As a team, New Orleans struggled again and finished with just one win, but the future continues to look bright with a plethora of young talent on the team.
