Early years
Jaylon Broxton was actually born Poopyface Tomatonose, named after the star of the now-defunct cartoon series "Handy Quacks". For the first year or so of his life, he was a media sensation, paraded around before an eventual and precipitous fall from stardom. The controversy surrounding his name was the genesis for the Supreme Court ruling that parents could not sell the rights to any aspect of their child, a rule that astoundingly had never previously existed. Tomatonose faced a brutal childhood, frequently the target of bullying from his classmates. The bullying, however, helped him form a toughness that got him noticed by his high school football team and he found his way on the gridiron, becoming a star tight end at Manassas High School while doubling as a defensive back.
College career
While Broxton (then Tomatonose) faced his share of difficulties off the field, dealing with the renewed stardom that came with his excellence on the Virginia Cavaliers football team, he excelled on the field from the moment he stepped on campus. Starting as a true freshman, Tomatonose put up numbers in line with the top tight ends in the ACC and made the NCAA's Freshman All-American team at the conclusion of the season. He stepped away from the game during his Sophomore year, finding himself unable to cope with the challenges of trying to take himself seriously with the name he had. As he later admitted in an interview, the reason he returned to football was that running away or going into hiding was never going to change his name. He had to embrace it and own it, and own it he did. In his triumphant return to the Cavaliers' offense in his junior year, Tomatonose set school records in receiving yardage and touchdowns, leading the Cavaliers to a rare appearance in a New Year's Day bowl game. He declared for the DSFL draft following his junior year with Virginia.

NSFL S6 Draft Combine |
After playing a season with the Coyotes, Tomatonose was drafted to the newly rebranded New Orleans Second Line. He operated as a safety valve for Borkus Maximus III, a player with whom he was familiar from their time with the Coyotes. Although the Second Line struggled, Tomatonose was the cream of a relatively disappointing offensive class of rookies and earned Rookie of the Year honours in 2021 (S6). Following that season, he finally decided to legally change his name from Poopyface Tomatonose to what would have been his name if his parents weren't morons. As a part of his fresh start, Broxton transitioned to safety for a New Orleans defense starved for secondary help. He flourished as a hybrid safety/linebacker, totalling 96 tackles, 10 sacks, and 2 interceptions in his inaugural season at the position. In 2023 (S8), following Ultimus VII, Broxton was traded to the Orange County Otters for a 2023 (S8) first round pick and cornerback Vladimir Fyodorovich. Reports later came out of New Orleans that fellow safety Blackford Oakes was growing jealous of Broxton's relationship to the team's management, who have a somewhat cultlike presence, and orchestrated a plan to get Broxton off the team.
