Early years
"Walter is a good-looking guy with wavy black hair that has bangs swept to the right side and brown eyes. He is a tall young islander man with a lean but muscular form, sharp eyes and strong eyebrows. Walter wears a multi-colored eye shield on his helmet for protection from the harsh sunlight on the island.
His side-hobby is running long distances during off-days to keep in shape. His race distance of choice is half-marathons, but he appreciates all distances for the unique mindset and preparation each takes.
Walter naturally radiates confidence of never wanting to lose. This confidence combined with his talent for game-reading and analytical thinking gave birth to his ""Walter Predictions Sense"". He is generally a kind person, but he is very blunt, brutally honest and straightforward, something he sometimes uses to spite people. Whether or not this is fully intentional isn't entirely clear. He is usually seen smiling calmly when off the field.
Walter has a strong respect for his friends and teammates that he firmly believes in team efforts. Despite how perceptive he is in games, being clever and quick on his feet and an overall honorable and decent player (in personality), Walter can be ridiculously bullheaded from time to time if he gets into it with an opposing receiver. Walter prefers to settle his grudges and personal matters on the field, if the subject of his disdain is a player.
His strength, speed, and balance he obtained after a brutal training, as well as working to overcome his peers who bullied and harassed him during his time in Kahuku High School. After developing the Walter Willpower Leap by fortifying his willpower, he gained more confidence in his speed and jumping abilities."
College career
Originally recruited on a partial Football scholarship, Walter also received a full-scholarship for the University of Hawai'i Track and Field team. As such, he managed to play on both teams while having a full-ride.
Freshman Year During his Freshman year, Walter was immediately promoted to first-team CB and KR. As a KR he managed to 1 touchdown in 29 kicks returned. As a CB he recorded 2 interceptions, 59 tackles on 7 PD, along with 1 FR.
Sophomore Year In his Sophomore year a new defensive coordinator was hired which put Walter into more blitz packages. While there was still a learning curve, Walter was able to adapt easier in the second half of the season. He recorded 2 touchdowns in 32 returned kickoffs. As a CB he recorded only 1 interception, however he had 60 tackles on 7 PD, 1 FR for a touchdown, and recorded 3 sacks due to his quick speed.
Junior Year During his Junior year, Walter was named team defensive captain and wore the patch proudly. He recorded 2 touchdowns in 30 returned kickoffs. As a CB he recorded 3 interceptions, 1 pick-six, 70 tackles on 9 PD, and recorded 4 sacks. After their bowl game 26-16 victory over Coastal Carolina, Walter declared for the draft.

Sam Mercury's first professional season with the Baltimore Hawks was underwhelming to say the least. It was always going to be difficult for him to put up any meaningful stats as he was playing behind two of the league's best receivers but it was still disappointing nonetheless. Mercury would play in all 16 games for the Hawks and offer a safety valve over the middle for his quarterback. He would finish second among rookie receivers in receptions during the regular season but it only amount to an average of 7.1 yards per reception. This can be chalked up to a red shirt season essentially as Mercury did not get to line up on the outside for his routes so he could not put his elite speed to use. Despite the lack of explosive plays he still had some memorable games and helped the Hawks to a 12-4 regular season record. In the two playoff games the Hawks would appear in Mercury did a bit more with the ball in his hands as he combined for 8 receptions for 99 yards. They would lose in heartbreaking fashion and fall one game short of the Ultimus. Now, headed into year two, it is likely Mercury remains in the same role he filled in his rookie season so expecting a sophomore leap will likely not come to fruition.Professional career statistics
