Marty Crane (born January 4, 2037) is an American football runningback for the Dallas Birddogs of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL).

Early years

Marty Crane was born in the Seattle portion of Miami where his love for football, justice, and jack russel terriers grew. As a high schooler / junior police officer Marty set school records in rushing yards, touchdowns, and citizen's arrests. Marty was briefly suspended during his Senior year after he was found drinking underage at a local establishment "Duke's". He still went on to win the rushing title and lead his team to the FL state title game where he scored five touchdowns and gave out 6 parking tickets. Shortly after his high school hosted "Marty Crane Day" where the football team held a fundraiser for terriers in need of adoption. Marty was offered scholarships to 16 of the top football schools in the nation before ultimately deciding to attend the University of Miami due to their top tier coaching staff, world class facilities, and their proximity to the Ballantine's Brewery.

College career

At the University of Miami, Marty began his career as the third string RB due to concerns about his size. These durability questions were quickly answered in the third game of his Freshman season when Marty filled in for Frank Juggs and Lamar Sockingsly who were both out with a stomach virus. Marty carried the ball 35 times for 312 yards and 6 TDs that game. He would not relinquish the starting role for the next three seasons leading the conference in yards on the ground, touch downs, and once again citizen's arrests. While Marty's onfield production was truly impressive, his stats in the classroom were less so forcing him to repeat several failed classes to maintain his student-athlete eligibility. Marty's bust sits in the University of Miami Hall of Fame honoring his tremendous speed, skill, and production at the school. It is believed that he will also be added to the school's Ring of Honor during his rookie season in the DSFL.

DSFL Summary

After an impressive three years at the University of Miami, Marty Crane entered the DSFL draft class for 43rd Season of the league. While working closely with his unknown agent, Marty the Monster, Marty Crane pushed in the prospect games to display his raw talent and trademark slippery shoulders to catch the eyes of GMs. It was argued that he was the clearcut top RB during these contests, yet to the surprise of many Marty Crane slid down draft boards while GMs were actually on the clock. It is possible his off the field issues from college concerned teams. It may have been that his agent was clearly intoxicated during the combine. It certainly could have been tied to Marty attempting to perform a citizen's arrest on a rival running back entering the draft, Dogwood Maple, for littering in the draft room while the commissioner was giving his opening speech. Regardless of the reason, Marty Crane was not selected until the 7th round of the draft (pick 52).
