Contents
Early years
Hercules Henry, born August 2, 2036 in Battle Creek, Michigan, is the eldest of three children born to Edison Henry and Janet Henry. He was given the name Hercules as a testament to his parents' belief in the importance of strength of body and strength of character, and since his youth, those who know him have always confirmed his aim to emulate these traits in his daily life, particularly since the borth of his middle younger brothers, Lawrence and John Patrick. Hercules was, naturally, the first of his siblings to find and fall in love with the game of football, taking a quick liking to the running back position. Although his name lends to power, his high school game centered predominantly around speed, and he consistently carried the football for huge gains and long touchdowns during his time with the Lakeview Spartans. Ultimately, his quickness led to offers from several Big Ten institutions, but Hercules chose to stay close to home, beginning his collegiate career at the University of Michigan.
College career
Hercules spent his early seasons with the Wolverines riding the bench, patiently waiting for his opportunity to show his talents to the nation. His junior year afforded him modest opportunity for playing time, as he played second fiddle in the backfield committee, but the Wolverine coaching staff assured him this was only the beginning, as he was projected to be a workhorse back for the team in his senior season. However, this was not to be; Hercules tore his meniscus on a routine practice run just prior to his junior year iteration of the Game, and talk from sports journalists across the nation indicated he had lost a step as a result. The Wolverines resigned themselves to looking a different direction for their backfield leader, and Hercules headed for the transfer portal. Ultimately, Hercules found himself playing a season alongside his brothers at Western Michigan University, and, although he perhaps did not have quite the same quick first step he had been known for during his high school years, Hercules redefined himself as a versatile, well-rounded running back, and even displaying new talents that lent themselves to fullback or tight end. Even with this new and unique skill set that left him operating as less than a true workhorse, Hercules rumbled to just north of 1,200 rushing yards on the season, and scored 15 rushing touchdowns, enough to tie him for sixth in Broncos' history. This renaissance allowed him to realize his dream, and he elected to declare for the Developmental Simulation Football League Draft.

Professional career
Hercules Henry was a trade deadline waiver addition for the Bondi Beach Buccaneers during the 2058 DSFL season, spending 4 games with the Australian unit. Henry had minimal impact in his brief cameo with the Buccaneers, with just 12 touches to his name before the team was eliminated from the playoffs and he returned to the United States, experiencing the playoffs not from the sideline, but from his couch.
Hercules Henry was subsequently drafted ninth overall by the Minnesota Grey Ducks in the 2059 DSFL draft, a selection that surprised many following the Grey Ducks' decision to select fellow running back Willie Swaggert with the first overall pick. Henry and Swaggert proved to be a powerful one-two punch for the Gray Ducks offense, amassing nearly 2,400 combined all-purpose yards and more than 20 all-purpose touchdowns for a team that had previously been the DSFL cellar-dweller. Unfortunately, this new production was not quite enough for the Gray Ducks to clear the proverbial hurdle into the playoffs, as the team fell just short at 5-9. Henry, a key piece of a productive offense, once again found himself watching playoff football from his living room, and began the process of preparing for the ISFL Draft. Sam Mercury's first professional season with the Baltimore Hawks was underwhelming to say the least. It was always going to be difficult for him to put up any meaningful stats as he was playing behind two of the league's best receivers but it was still disappointing nonetheless. Mercury would play in all 16 games for the Hawks and offer a safety valve over the middle for his quarterback. He would finish second among rookie receivers in receptions during the regular season but it only amount to an average of 7.1 yards per reception. This can be chalked up to a red shirt season essentially as Mercury did not get to line up on the outside for his routes so he could not put his elite speed to use. Despite the lack of explosive plays he still had some memorable games and helped the Hawks to a 12-4 regular season record. In the two playoff games the Hawks would appear in Mercury did a bit more with the ball in his hands as he combined for 8 receptions for 99 yards. They would lose in heartbreaking fashion and fall one game short of the Ultimus. Now, headed into year two, it is likely Mercury remains in the same role he filled in his rookie season so expecting a sophomore leap will likely not come to fruition.
