Early years
Teddy Rhinoback was born to Delores and Robert Rhinoback in Sedona, AZ on September 10th 2029. Teddy was a rather large baby at birth coming in at just under 8Lbs. His younger years were spent like many other kids his age except for the fact that Teddy took a liking to a game he called "get the man with the ball". Unfortunately that man usually turned out to be the family dog. After seeing Teddy's affinity for "getting after it" Robert and Delores signed him up for youth league football in Sedona figuring that his enthusiasm wouldn't be wasted on defense. During his middle school years Teddy and his parent moved outside of Los Angeles, CA. It was clear that Sedona wasn't going to be able to provide the football atmosphere that Teddy needed to fulfill his dream of becoming a pro athlete. By his high school years Teddy was starting for the famed Mater Dei high school where his size gave him a distinct advantage. Teddy was a starter for both his junior year and senior year's state championship games. Coming out of high school Teddy was listed as number 68 in 247sports.com position rankings.
College career
Out of high school Teddy received several scholarship options from across the country but ultimately signed with Iowa State University as a defensive tackle as part of the 2047 signing class. His main reasoning for choosing ISU was to see parts of the country he hadn't had the chance to see, reasoning that the heartland was the perfect place to start.
Freshman Season
During his freshman year, an injury on the depth chart forced Teddy into the starting lineup, burning his redshirt. He only played in five games but totaled 10 tackles and 1 sack.
Sophomore Season
Starting all 13 regular season games and the Alamo Bowl, his sophomore year saw noticeable improvement where Teddy amassed 26 tackles (5 TFL), 3 sacks, and 2 PBUs.
Junior Season
By his Junior year Teddy really came into his own becoming a force to be reckoned with on the defensive line. Teddy tacked on 35 Tackles (6 TFL), 4 sacks, 2 FF, and 3 PBUs. His Junior year performance earned him a spot on the Big-12 All-Conference team.
Senior Season
Teddy's Senior year performance earned him a spot of the All-American team with 34 Tackles (8 TFLs), 9 sacks, 3 FF (1 FR), and 5 PBUs.

DSFL Career
Waiver Season (Portland Pythons) (S36)
Teddy entered the league just in time to be picked up off waivers by the Portland Pythons for the final regular season game in W14. He immediately became an integral part of the defensive line right out of the gate. Portland would go on to win the game against the Norfolk Seawolves 31-7. Teddy had a fantastic league debut in this game with 5 TKL and 2 TFL. Portland, having secured their spot in the playoffs, would then go on to eventually play for the Ultimini where they would lose against the Tijuana Luchadores 27-3. Through the postseason, Teddy amassed a respectable 8 TKL, 1 TFL, and 1 SCK. Although his first season after college was short, Teddy made the most of it and made a good impression.
Teddy and the Pythons ended up being a good match for each other as the Pythons would later go on to draft him at 7th overall in the season 37 draft.
Rookie Year (Portland Pythons) (S37)
Have started his first season well Teddy expected to immediately make waves in his first full season, however he remained mostly quiet throughout the preseason, not recording a single tackle. His struggles continued through the first 6 games of the season where Teddy failed to record a single tackle and pulling 2 penalties for 20 yards. Through this stretch, Portland was up and down with a record of 3-1-2. Week 7 saw Teddy finally have some success on the field where he recorded 3 TKL in a 36-14 win over the Norfolk Seawolves. The very next week he exploded with a 7 TKL, 1 TFL, and 2 SCK game earning his first career Defensive Player of the Game in a 23-20 win over the Minnesota Grey Ducks. Throughout the rest of the season’s remaining 6 games, Teddy would produce 29 TKL, 3 TFL, and 1 SCK.
Portland, again, made it to the playoffs in Season 37. They won the semifinal game against the Grey Ducks where Teddy dominated the defensive side of the ball with a team leading 9 TKL. Portland would eventually lose the Ultimini against the Bondi Beach Buccaneers 28-14 where Teddy again played another outstanding game with 6 TKL and 1 TFL.
After being heavily recruited by many teams, Teddy Rhinoback was chosen as the 26th pick overall by the Yellowknife Wraiths. The Wraiths elected to not call him up right away letting him gain another year of experience in the DSFL.
