Colorado Yeti
Fuego Wozy was selected with the 39th overall pick by the Colorado Yeti in the inaugural NSFL draft. He had a strong start to his professional football career, putting up 35 tackles and 10 sacks and earning a spot in the first-ever NSFL Pro Bowl. The Yeti would finish the season tied for the third best record in the league at 8-6 and made it all the way to the Ultimus Bowl where they were defeated by the dominant Arizona Outlaws by a score of 6-29.
The 2017 season would be a disappointment for the Yeti, who failed to make the playoffs after another 8-6 season. Despite this, Colorado would finish the season with the second best scoring defense in the league and Wozy himself displayed some statistical improvement from the previous season with 48 tackles and 12 sacks. This would earn him his second Pro Bowl selection.
Wozy's third year in the league would be his most dominant statistically and earn him another Pro Bowl spot. He produced 59 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and 17 sacks - all career highs. However, this increase in production did little to help the flailing Yeti, who would finish the season with the second worst record in the league at 3-11.
2019 would prove to be a disastrous year for both Colorado and Wozy. The Yeti had the league's worst scoring offense and defense and ended the season with a dismal 1-13 record that was also the worst in the NSFL. Although he made the Pro Bowl, Wozy would see dips in all statistical categories compared to the prior season and would put up only three sacks, the lowest of his career.
Arizona Outlaws
A blockbuster three-team trade in the off-season between Colorado, Las Vegas, and Arizona led to Wozy getting shipped to the Outlaws. He would play just six games for the franchise before being traded again to the Yellowknife Wraiths for safety Jogn Floggity and a conditional S7 third round pick.
Yellowknife Wraiths
Wozy finished the 2020 NSFL season with another Pro Bowl nod although the Wraiths fell to the Orange County Otters in the Ultimus Bowl by a score of 15-26. The following season would bring further disappointment with Wozy missing the Pro Bowl for the only time in his career and the Wraiths losing in the first round of the playoffs to the Philadelphia Liberty.
Orange County Otters
Prior to the 2022 NSFL season, Wozy would sign with the Orange County Otters in free agency. The Otters were just coming off of a championship threepeat and were a highly desirable destination for players that were beginning to enter the final chapters of their careers. Wozy would return to the Pro Bowl and post a career high number of forced fumbles (3) but the Otters' championship streak would end after losing to to the Liberty in the Ultimus Bowl by a score of 19-28 despite their excellent regular-season record.
New Orleans Second Line
Following this loss, Wozy would sign with the New Orleans Second Line in the off-season for the final two seasons of his career. This would mark a resurgence of sorts for the defensive end, who saw his on-field production reach levels that had not been recorded since his best years in Colorado. He would finish the 2023 season with 42 tackles, 9 sacks, and a Pro Bowl selection. However, again he would fall just short of the ultimate prize as New Orleans would end their 9-5 campaign with a loss in Ultimus Bowl VIII to Yellowknife.
The NSFL's ninth season would be Wozy's last in the league. The Second Line finished with both the number one offense and defense as well as the NFSL's best record at 12-2. They would go on to defeat the Orange County Otters in the ASFC championship game before winning the Ultimus Bowl against the Baltimore Hawks by a score of 37-24. Having finally won a championship, Wozy decided to retire and was enshrined in the NSFL Hall of Fame in 2028.
