Jay Cue (born February 28, 2013) is an American football quarterback playing for the Portland Pythons of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL). He had no college football experience before being selected in the 2032 DSFL Draft (S17) (S17). Due to his peculiar football background, he was nicknamed as "The Portuguese Phenom" by some media.

Early years

Jay Cue was born in Lisbon, Portugal. Son of Peter Cue and Ana Silva, Jay grew up in Lisbon and attended the Military High School. With his father working for the US Embassy in Portugal, he grew up watching American sports, even though he only played soccer until he was 18 years old. He managed to go through the ranks at S.L.Benfica (from age 8 until 18), but at that point, he decided to leave soccer and focus on his career as football player.

Elementary and High School Soccer career

Even though he attended Military High School since he was 6, he managed to play for S.L.Benfica after a scout saw him playing in a 5-a-side game in his home street. He signed for them at age 8, where he played until 18 years old, always as a midfielder, and he helped the team win several National Championships and Cups, getting 6 MVP awards. He was touted to play for the Benfica B team in the Portuguese Second Division after being offered a multi-year contract with the main team and being linked with several top-flight clubs abroad, but he surprisingly decided to leave soccer altogether and declare for the 2032 draft without a single snap played. With no College experience or film, draft experts did not give him a big chance to be drafted on the first rounds.

Troubled Past - Rumours

Even though it has never been confirmed by himself, some Portuguese media stories reported that Jay Cue was spending a lot of time in the night scene, abusing alcohol and drugs. He was seen several times leaving nightclubs with his entourage and beautiful international supermodels, but he was never seen intoxicated in public. His record his also completely clean. Some of his higher-ranked officers in military elementary/high school reported that even though he was a model student, he got involved in some minor pranks/hazing during his school years, which they considered pretty normal when compared to his classmates. When these stories got to the US Media, he was then nicknamed as Jay "Football" Cue.

Thoroughfare to Glory

Early August 2032 , ESPNFSL announced that Jay Cue would be the star on their "Thoroughfare to Glory" (TTG) show, hosted by Zerin Andrews and Dirk Kirbstreit. This show, modeled after NCAA Football 11 game mode "Road to Glory", follows Jay's career, looking into his life with interviews, game footage, and panel discussion. Since it started, it became one of the most watched shows ever, with millions of viewers tuning in every episode, beating the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" as the top reality show, earning a place on the Top 10 most-watched documentaries ever and top of the TV Guides annual "Must Watch TV Shows". It is still unknown how much money Jay makes with the TTG tv-show, but some sources have reported that he makes an amount in the 8 figures every year.

DSFL Career

Cue declared for the 2032 DSFL Draft (S17) two weeks before it happened, but due to his position and the fact that the only snaps he played were during the 2032 (S17) Prospect Bowl win, with less than stellar stats, this reportedly scared the GMs on wasting a pick on Jay. But, after declaring, he impressed the scouts and GMs with his work ethic and ability, getting an invite to the University of Oregon facilities, where he stayed and worked on his game until the Draft. After some mock-drafts, that had him going from the first to the third round, he became one of the most highly touted prospects and in the draft, he was selected with the 5th overall pick (and #1 QB off the board) by the Portland Pythons.

2032 DSFL Season (S17)

Cue's first season in the DSFL was a surprising one as he led the Portland Pythons to an 11 - 3 record. His regular season stats were fantastic, with a 22:13 touchdown to interception ratio (which was also a tie with Franklin Armstrong for the most Passing TDs ever in the DSFL), 2,400 Passing yards and an 87.4 rating, which gave him the DSFL MVP Award at the end of the season. Leading the DSFL, the Portland Pythons got home-field advantage for the playoffs, where they faced the Kansas City Coyotes, beating them 27 - 17, booking their place in Ultimini XV. They matched up against the defending champions Tijuana Luchadores, who had a 1 - 1 record versus the Pythons in the regular season. Unfortunately, the game ended with a 17 - 16 score to the Luchadores, with Cue throwing a pick late in the 4th quarter that sealed the game.

2033 DSFL Season (S18)

With the 8th pick of the 2nd round (18th pick overall) of the 2033 ISFL Draft (S18), the Arizona Outlaws selected Jay Cue, Quarterback. With the Outlaws' starting quarterback Andrew Reese aging, the team decided to pick Jay to be their QB of the future. But it was mutually agreed that he should spend at least another season with the Portland Pythons, polishing his game. The regular season was pretty similar to the previous one, with the Pythons ending the regular season with a 11 - 3 record, winning the NFC North division. This time though, they were unable to clinch the #1 seed, as the Tijuana Luchadores had a record of 13 - 1. Cue's stats were very good, passing for 2811 yards, again for 22 TDs with only 7 INTs, earning him again the DSFL MVP (joint with Fuzzy Dotson, RB for the Tijuana Luchadores). In the conference final, the Pythons defeated the Kansas City Coyotes 28 - 17, with Cue throwing for 236 yards and 3 TDs, sending the team to the Ultimini XVI. The trophy game was surprisingly against the San Antonio Marshals (who managed to beat the #1 seed Tijuana Luchadores, 17 - 10 in the South Conference final) and the Pythons came out on top 23 - 10, with Cue getting the accolades, throwing for 221 yards, 2 TDs with no picks. Cue finally got the Ultimini for Portland, topping that with the MVP award in the game.

2034 DSFL Season (S19)

Cue came back for his 3rd and last season in the DSFL, to defend the Ultimini title with the Pythons.
