Early years
Draven Chanos was born to a mother and father on rocky terms in July of 2045. Following his birth, his parents split up due to differences on how the child should be parented, however after a year apart they were able to reconcile and ended up back together in a nicer home. Draven's father had gotten an incredible job during his time apart from his wife and son, and as a result he was able to provide much more consistently and luxuriously than he was previously able to. Draven started playing football when he was 10, because he was seen on the playground by a coach outrunning every other kid on the track. He was always naturally fast, and had amazing reflexes. He sometimes lacked intelligence as to which hole to hit in the backfield, but overall was able to beat out nearly everybody that he played against. He continued his dominance well into his high school years at Ocean View High, until a hyperextended knee on a low tackle by an opposing safety left him injured and out of the playoffs. He played a little scared the next two seasons, gaining some of that intelligence he had been missing, but also didn't take as many risks and his big-play potential went down because of it. On the night that college scouts were coming to take a look at Huntington Beach High QB Samuel Ardonado, he decided he needed to stop playing scared, and posted 289 yards on the ground with a long of 81 and 4 TDs. The next day, he got calls from colleges all over the country, and as the season went on Draven decided that he would be attending Oregon State.
College career
In college, Draven was sidelined for his first season, redshirted by the coach and not allowed to play. He understood this, as the team had two seniors that were both potential early draft picks, and a fifth-year senior who they were giving playtime to out of respect to his commitment to the team. However, when his sophomore year rolled around, he was only a freshman in terms of football play, and he showed it. With a year to sit and learn the offense and tactics to make him a more technical runner without taking away his natural talent, he absolutely dominated. For the next three seasons, he was routinely the focal point of the Beavers' offense, in fact causing the offensive coordinator to leave after his second season on the field and go to a team that would actually pass more. He was replaced with a OC that loved to run, and it showed up immensely in the game tape. Though his first two seasons had been statistically impressive, his final season at Oregon State before forgoing his final year of eligibility to enter the draft saw him put up 1611 yards on the ground with another 522 in the air, a total of 26 touchdowns, and an easy win in the PAC-12 MVP race. Oregon State just barely missed the playoffs that season, and Draven was crushed, but knew that his team was going to fall apart around him due to NIL and graduations, and so decided to declare for the draft anyway.

In Draven's first season in the ISFL, he was drafted very late to the Dallas Birddogs, 52nd overall. After stewing on this for a while and being quite upset that he wasn't drafted as early as he would have liked, he decided that he would change positions from running back to linebacker. He made this call because he was drafted to a team that had 3 running backs on the roster and he was nothing more than a blip in the backfield, and though he was thankful to be drafted at all, to be drafted behind so many other RBs was insane to him and he couldn't believe it. So he swapped to linebacker after 3 games, and in those 3 games did quite decently, getting 4 sacks from the MLB position and doing well on tackles, averaging nearly 10 per game and getting a few TFLs as well. Draven took his success, which was comparatively exponential, as a sign that he had made the right decision, and after some conversations with scouts, went in the draft expecting to be taken in the top 10 of the ISFL draft.
Leading up to the ISFL draft, Draven had been contacted by every team except one, and had great conversations with almost all of them. Though there were a couple teams he was certain he wouldn't be drafted by, there were also several that he felt would be very open to taking him. Sarasota, Austin, Honolulu, and Berlin all spoke as if they'd like to take him with their first round pick. Ultimately, none of these teams did, and Draven began his slide. He thought he may go 3rd, then 8th, then 9th, then 10th, then 12th, and at that point the highly touted prospect nearly tuned out of the draft, almost certain that he was going to experience a monumental slide yet again. However, at the 14th pick, the last in the first round, the New York Silverbacks traded with the Arizona Outlaws and selected Draven. After discussion with the head coach and management staff, it was decided that Draven would swap to defensive tackle to help the team and be the primary man on the defensive line beginning in his sophomore season. And so Draven was immediately called up, though his statistics were quite poor in his freshman season. He racked up only 1 sack and 2 TFL, missing 6 of his 42 tackle attempts, and failing to force any fumbles. Despite this struggle, management stayed behind Draven the entire season, always having his back and letting him know that a swap from RB to LB to DT in the space of 2 years was very difficult and he had nothing to worry about.
