Eldrick Avery (born September 1, 2014) is an American football cornerback for the Undrafted of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL).

Early years

Eldrick Avery was born in September of 2014 in Rock Springs, Wyoming to mother Annie Avery and father Jeff Avery. Shortly after his birth, he moved to Toronto, Ontario, where he grew up playing hockey, curling, and football. His father was a former halfback that spent time playing in both the CFL and NFL. Jeff spent the majority of his career playing for the Toronto Argonauts, where he helped lead the team to a Grey Cup title in 2004. Before Eldrick entered high school, his father moved him and the family back to Wyoming to help him pursue a career in football. Eldrick began his high school football career at Thunder Basin as a wide receiver in 2029. He displayed big play potential as a freshman, totalling 16 touchdowns and 722 yards on only 23 receptions, setting the single season Wyoming high school record with 31.4 yards per reception. He did however struggle all season with drops. He had a staggering 68 drops, demolishing the previous US high school record. He promptly switched to cornerback that offseason, where he excelled for his final three years of high school.He posted 19 interceptions and allowed on 4 total touchdowns while playing every single defensive snap over the rest of his high school career. He helped lead Thunder Basin to a state championship in his junior season.

College career

He received many scholarship offers, but passed them all by and instead elected to join the LSU Tigers as a walk on. He failed to make an impact as a true freshman in 2033, appearing in only 3 games and recording just 2 tackles. In Avery's sophomore season, LSU's star corner Dennis "The Gazelle" Reynolds was injured in the fifth game of the season, opening the door for Avery to see some playing time. Eldrick took advantage of this opportunity with an interception and 2 pass breakups against Texas A&M in his first game as starter. He held onto the starting job for the rest of the season, racking up 41 tackles, 7 pass breakups and 3 interception en route to a Rose Bowl appearance for LSU. Just days before the season opener of his junior season, Avery suffered a devastating ankle injury, tearing his achilles tendon. He missed the entire season but was a vocal leader for the team on the sidelines and in the locker room. In his senior season, Eldrick elected to return for his senior season, and he exploded into the national limelight, emerging as one of the nation's top corners. He allowed only one reception over the first 3 games, while recording 3 interceptions, including a pick six to seal a victory against Baylor. Quarterbacks avoided throwing to Avery's side of the field after this, as he was thrown at only 31 times, allowing just 13 catches, over the remaining 10 games of the season. This resulted in modest statistical totals of 38 tackles, 5 interceptions, and 9 pass breakups that season. Eldrick's performance helped lead LSU to a berth in the College Football Playoff, where they lost in overtime to Boise St.

London Royals

2036

Eldrick Avery was drafted by the expansion London Royals with the 1st pick of the 8th round of the S21 DSFL Draft (57th overall). Avery and the Royals opened their season against the other expansion team, the Dallas Birddogs, and they began the franchise with a dominating 34-7 win. Avery didn’t appear much on the stat sheet, recording just two tackles, but he locked down his receiver for most of the game and helped the Royals hold the number one overall pick from the DSFL Draft, Monty Jack, to just 109 yards passing, with no touchdowns and one interception. The next few weeks weren’t as kind to the Royals as the lost their next four games to drop to 1-4. In week 6, the Royals bounced back with an overtime win against the Minnesota Grey Ducks. Eldrick Avery hauled in the first interception of his career on the Grey Duck’s first possession of the game. He also added three tackles and two passes defensed. London would go on to lose their next two games, to the Portland Pythons and Dallas Birddogs. Avery played well in both games, and recorded his first DSFL touchdown, on a 48 yard pick six of a 3rd quarter Monty Jack pass. At 2-6, the Royals playoff chances were looking slim, however they fought hard down the stretch, winning three of their final six games to finish the season at 5-9. Avery’s play throughout the season set himself up well for the NSFL Draft, as he finished the season with 39 tackles, 12 passes defensed, 3 interceptions and a touchdown.
