Byron Dolls (born July 29, 2014) is an American football offensive lineman for the Free Agent of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). He played college football for University of Texas (UT) before being drafted by the Portland Pythons in the 2036 DSFL Draft (S21). He would later go undrafted in the 2037 ISFL Draft (S22).

Early years

Byron Dolls was born in Austin, Texas. As a young kid, Dolls was big. Today he stads at 6'7", 340 lbs, and he grew into that steadily. He used that size to push kids around, often times throughout elementary and middle school getting in trouble for bullying. Dolls' parents and techers tried many different avenues to try and help Dolls be a better kid, to stop bullying people. Therapy, anger management, and eventually they got to football. It took sometime, but Dolls had a great coach by the name of Jaylen Langston - eventually he helped Dolls not only become a better player on the field, but off the field as well. Dolls transformed himself, eventually resorting to meditation most notably for improving himself as a person. He credits coach Langston for getting him on that path, and to this day Dolls will often still meditate to calm himself and prepare for a game. Dolls became a high school standout at the offensive line, and was highly recruited to college. Dolls received many offers, but the temptation of home was too great, and the pride of his hometown, with a great football program, was too much to resits, and Dolls committed to the University of Texas Longhorns.

College career

In S17 Dolls made his college debut for Texas. Dolls was a big, strong kid, and he was able to start on the line as a freshman. Dolls sat out the first 4 games to make sure he was ready, and was a starter for game 5. The Longhorns coaches knew he was ready, but they still started Dolls off as easily as they could. Dolls ended up playing his entire first season at left guard. Dolls was very strong, as was to be expected in the most sheltered position. He had just 1 sack allowed through the 8 games he played, and 19 pancakes. As a sophomore Dolls was able to start the full season. Through 10 games, Dolls played left guard once again, giving up 0 sacks, with 28 pancakes. In the final 3 games, the Longhorns' starting right tackle was injured, and Dolls was tasked with taking that spot. He gave up 1 sack, and had 8 more pancakes. As a junior, Dolls got the nod as the starting left tackle. The most important job on the line, it was time for Dolls to hold it. Dolls was great again, giving up just 2 sacks and picking up 34 pancakes. Dolls ended up missing 2 games that season with a pair of minor injuries. As a senior Dolls was perfect, again at left tackle, allowing 0 sacks, and picking up 51 pancakes. He also missed the final game of the season. The Longhorns looked good in Dolls' time there, however were never dangerous enough to make much noise, making 1 bowl game (Peach bowl, not a semi final game) and losing.

Professional career

DSFL career

Dolls played 4 games at the end of season 20 for the Portland Pythons, picking up 10 pancakes, but allowing 3 sacks.

Prior to season 21, Dolls was drafted by the Portland Pythons officially after being picked up temporarily on waivers the prior season. In season 21, Dolls made his starts at offensive tackle for the Pythons, and he made a massive impact. In his first game Dolls racked up 5 pancakes, and didn't give up a sack. The next game, Dolls gave up a sack - which would prove to be the only one all season - and tacked on 9 more pancakes to the total. Dolls picked up 3 pancakes in each of the next 3 games, before then picking up 4 in the next 3 after that. Dolls exploded again with an excellent performance, tallying 7 pancakes in a week 9 win over the Buccaneers. Dolls picked up 8 in the next 2 games before going for 6 in the week 12 game. Dolls had lead the DSFL in pancakes for most of the season, but after week 12 he had fallen narrowly to second. With a 3 pancake game followed by a 7 pancake game in the season finale, Dolls was able to finish the season having lead the DSFL in pancakes with 66, and just 1 sack allowed, cementing himself as the best offensive lineman in the DSFL that season. In addition, Dolls was incredibly disciplined, taking just 1 penalty, in week 3 - though it was a 15 yarder for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Extra hype surrounding the value of offensive lineman muddied the waters even more around the draft stock of OL, and Dolls especially. Dolls is the leading OL prospect heading into the S22 draft, and could go as early as round 3, within the top 36 picks. In the DSFL he was drafted 51st, and it's likely in the NSFL draft to see an jump up on his draft position.

After a strong combine performance, and the surge around offensive linemen, Byron Dolls was in deed drafted in the 3rd round, at the 33rd overall pick by the Baltimore Hawks. Dolls had quite a strong rookie season in the NSFL. Slotting in as the starting LT immediately being drafted, Dolls locked down his quarterback's blindside, giveing up 0 sacks all season. Dolls started fairly slow, picking up just 3 pancakes in each of his first 2 games. A strong performance of 5 pancakes followed up the next week. After that Dolls was held completely off the scoresheet in week 4, no pancakes. Week 5 was another struggle for Dolls, with just 1 pancake. At this point, he had just 12 pancakes through 5 games. Dolls had 3 more pancakes in each of week 6 and week 7, for a total of 18 through 7 games. In the next 4 weeks, Dolls started to come alive again, recording 6 pancakes in both week 8 and 11. In weeks 9 and 10, Dolls recorded 3 pancakes each, for a total of 18 over the 4 games, doubling his pancake total on the season. Dolls followed up week 12 with another 6 pancake game, before ending the season with 3 pancakes in week 13, for his total of 45. It was a far cry from his 1 season in the DSFL, but the performance was quite strong for a rookie in the steeper competition of the NSFL. Dolls also finished the season with just 2 penalties, for 5 yards apiece. The successful rookie season was enough to earn him his first ever NSFL Pro Bowl nomination. The offensive line competition in the NSFL is just getting stronger, but it has cemented Dolls as a high end competitor for the few selection spots.
