Early years
Born in the suburbs of Cincinnati to renown Wildlife experts Randall and Felicia Jimmies, Russell travelled the world from a young age. At the age of 4, Russell was briefly lost during an expedition in the Congo. After a multiple day search, he was found with a troop of mountain gorillas. During the days missing, it is believed that Russell was cared for by the gorillas. When the searching party found him, he was handed over without a struggle, although reports say you could see tears welling in the eyes of the troops members. At the age of 8, Russell's parents knew he was not only gifted intellectually, but physically as well. He was soon enrolled in the Cincinnati School for Gifted Children where he would excel in academics and athletics. After leading the school to multiple state titles, Jimmies declared his intent to play for the University of Cincinnati.

Russell Jimmies was drafted in the 5th round of the Developmental Simulation Football League draft to the Kansas City Coyotes with plans to back up incumbent veteran quarterback Lenard McRobinson and eventually take over the reigns as the teams starting quarterback. The season began with turmoil, however, as McRobinson struggled to play to the teams (and fans) expectations and starting the season 0-3. Attitude issues and character concerns started to arise from the locker room about McRobinson as many around the team felt he had given up on the Coyotes and had been eyeing his ISFL debut. This led to the "Let Russ Cook" movement, with the team clamoring for Jimmies to get the starting job after showing flashes of excellence when his name was called during those first several games. Despite winning the next two games, bringing the Coyotes to a 2-3 record, the front office had officially made a move. McRobinson would be called up to the tanking Honolulu Hahalua and Russell Jimmies would lead the Coyotes the rest of the season. After some ups and downs, Jimmies couldn't finish the job and failed to make the playoffs, going 5-4 as a starter. Jimmies would finish his inaugural season with generally rough statistics, completing just 50% of his passes with a rating of 83.7 (last and 8th place in the league respectively). A bright spot for the young rookie was his ability to protect the football, throwing only 9 interceptions and accounting for 2 fumbles on the season. With complete control of the QB room, the dual threat quarterback looks to improve for next season and bring the Coyotes back to the Ultimini.
2062 (S47)
Prior to the season, Russell Jimmies was selected in the 2nd round of the ISFL Draft by the Chicago Butchers. This was a move that many pundits had expected, although it was seen as a surprise to some that Jimmies would once again be the first quarterback off the board, drafted in front of his contemporaries Puddles O'Duck, Elijah Dyson, and Bugs. This would be the first season in Jimmies football career that he would enter the season as the incumbent and the expectations were relatively high after a respectable outing the season prior. What was unexpected, though, was the loss of the Coyotes top two running backs and wide receivers. With the cabinets bare, Jimmies did everything he could to make the Coyotes competitive, often playing hero ball by forcing throws into tight coverage or trying to do too much on the ground. The season ended in disaster, as the Coyotes failed to make the playoffs with a 5-9 record - good for last place in the North division. Constant drops from wide receivers Big Tractor (15!) and Derrick Prince Jr (8) and an average at best running game behind Jag McQueen (4 YPC) clearly led to Jimmies statistical decline. All reports out of the locker room, however, have reiterated that Jimmies leadership and poise have continued to shine through.
