Danny Nedelko (born May 28, 2028) is an American football running back who is currently preparing to enter the professional ranks. He played college football for Grambling State University (GSU) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.
Contents
Early years
Daniel Blorgl "Danny" Nedelko was born in Odessa, Texas, to Oleksandr and Jessica Nedelko. Oleksandr was an immigrant from Odesa, Ukraine, who fled the 2022 invasion by Russia and wanted to go somewhere that was also called Odesa. He worked as an engineer at a wind farm, while Jessica was a local school administrator.
Danny was a quick and agile child, but his short and frail stature meant that he was often discouraged by others from pursuing his dream of playing football. Standing 5' 2" for most of his high school career, he was limited to occasionally returning punts for the Odessa Bronchos, usually being told to fair catch them.
Between his junior and senior seasons of High School, Nedelko grew 10 inches. Now standing 6' 0", he won the starting running back job and rushed for 1,802 yards and 34 touchdowns while receiving 23 passes for 401 yards and six scores. Nedelko led the Bronchos to their first winning season in 12 years.
Despite this stellar season, college scouts were concerned about his thin frame and single year of high school production. He was named a 2-star recruit by Rivals.com and the 46th best running back prospect in the state of Texas. He received only one Division 1 offer, from the historically black Grambling State University, and committed there immediately.
College career
As a freshman, Nedelko was put on a strict weight training regime in the hope of bulking up his skinny frame to the size required to play Division 1 football, but it did not appear to work. He found himself once again limited to special teams play, returning 2 punts for 13 yards.
Before his sophomore season, the coaches tried to convert him to a cornerback, which suited his agility and physical makeup better. This transition would fail, as he simply had no desire to play the defensive side of the ball. Nedelko was benched for his full sophomore season, not even seeing special teams reps, and reports from local media indicated that his scholarship might be under threat.
Danny Nedelko reported to training camp in his junior season having gained 120lbs of lean muscle and a fiery temper. Though eyebrows were raised at this physical transformation, he said it was down to "chicken and vitamins", Retaining his burst and agility at his new size, Nedelko easily won the starting job at running back, now equally comfortable trucking defenders as sidestepping them. He rushed for 1228 yards and 15 touchdowns in the first 6 games of the season.
Following a game against Prairie View, he was selected for drug testing, which he refused, reportedly telling the official he would "take any test [they] made (ISFL lineman) Swantavius Payne take". He was suspended by the NCAA for the rest of the season.
Danny Nedelko immediately declared for the DSFL draft, forfeiting the rest of his college eligibility. He told a reporter
"The ISFL don't even care if you take steroids, look at Chuck Roth. That dude has muscles on his muscles, and he's like 40. Uh, even if I did take steroids. Which I don't."
This interview was widely ridiculed.

DSFL Career
After declaring for the 2051 DSFL Draft, Nedelko was brought in on waivers by the Norfolk Seawolves for the second half of the 2050 DSFL season. He did not receive playing time but was on the roster as the team won the 2050 Ultimini.
DSFL Draft
Nedelko was selected by the London Royals with the 20th overall pick of the 2051 DSFL Draft. Considered a top prospect talent-wise, his NCAA suspension and character concerns precipitated a fall to the third round of the draft.
Season 36
Nedelko was used as a hybrid offensive weapon in his first season, backing up the incumbent running back Lenny Lyons and receiving snaps at wide receiver.
In his first game, he led the team in rushing with 79 yards on 16 attempts, with 21 yards on 3 catches in a 34-21 win over the Kansas City Coyotes.
His breakout game came against his former team, the Norfolk Seawolves, in week 5 of the season. He rushed 8 times for 103 yards and a touchdown, while catching 3 passes for 67 yards. In the post-game interview, Nedelko said
"F*** Norfolk. All my homies hate Norfolk. They didn't even play me when I was there. Amateur organisation, total clown fiesta. What would a wolf do in the sea anyway? F***ing drown? F***."
Nedelko was fined by the Royals and sent on media training, as speculation mounted that this would hurt his ISFL draft stock.
His best game of the season happened against the Kansas City Coyotes in week 8. Nedelko ran 9 times for 99 yards and a touchdown, and hauled in 6 passes for 45 yards and a score.
Heading into the 2052 ISFL Draft, Nedelko was considered a mid-round pick with high athletic upside but serious concerns about his character.
