Jason Garciaparra (born July 4, 2020) is an American football defensive end who is currently unsigned by a professional team. He played college football for Georgia Tech (GT) and was selected third overall in the S29 DSFL Draft to the Kansas City Coyotes. After a season, he was drafted again third overall by the Chicago Butchers and called up after his first season in the DSFL.

Early years

Jason Garciaparra was born on July 4, 2020 in Quincy, Massachusetts as the grandson to famous baseball player Nomar Garciaparra. Much like his grandfather, Jason was very interested in playing baseball growing up and was a two sport athlete all the way through college. His love for sports came at an early age and was a natural fit in the Garciaparra household where his younger sister, Tessie, and him would constantly get into competitions with and against each other. They played on the same teams regardless of the sport with a goal to always push each other.

While playing baseball in high school, he chased down a pop fly on the opposite end of the field and was given the nickname ""Minuteman Jay"" by his coach in reference to the speedy horseback riders of Massachusetts history. In football, he was a defensive athlete and played everything from defensive line to safety depending on where he was needed. His coaches were amazed at just how fast he played despite his measured speed not being insane and that he graduated as the valedictorian at North Quincy even with all of his work on the field.

College career

In his senior year of high school, Jason Garciaparra was ranked as the 65th best player in the state of Massachusetts and a three star athlete with offers from Harvard, Maine, Georgia Tech, Michigan, and Yale. Given his grandfather's experience down south, Jason committed to the Georgia Institute of Technology as a double sport athlete as both a catcher and an outside linebacker. He managed to make a quick impact in baseball but found that he was not fast enough to keep up with the speedy running backs in the ACC for his freshman and sophomore years.

After some workouts, Jason put on weight in order to move from linebacker to the defensive end position where he saw an immediate run of success. He was able to perform much strong when only having to work the outside instead of the constant field manuevering of the outside linebacker position. His high school speed had been a bit changed in college but he still managed to keep quick foot work to switch back and forth between defensive end and outside linebacker in his senior season at Georgia Tech. With his dual role position, he lit up the stat sheet and became the runner up for the Nagurski Trophy in his senior season as well as the William V. Campbell Trophy winner for his junior and senior years.

Professional career

2044 - Kansas City Coyotes

After being selected third overall by Kansas City, Jason found the defensive line there was already filled by plenty of other veterans and went into training alongside his sister back in college in order to learn to play cornerback. It took only a couple of weeks of training before Jason moved to cornerback for the Coyotes and became a solid starter alongside Siege Cameron who covered the other side of the field for the Coyotes. While not performing up to award level, Jason was in charge of using his defensive end techniques in coverage to battle against tight ends in the DSFL through the season. This provided plenty of challenges for the rookie cornerback, but he rose to the challenge through the preseason.

The only issue that would come up would be the size differences of the tight ends that Jason was covering and himself after the long offseason workouts. His first game had plenty of things to work on as he let up a few catches that resulted in a high tackle game. Despite that, it would not take long before he was able to prove a good cornerback on the field as he managed to keep from any touchdowns getting scored on him against many challenging talents that lined up across from him. His talents through the season also allowed him to score a pick six with another almost following up later that was stopped short from securing himself on the CBotY ballot. The team would have their season end early after some misfortune on the offense that Jason constantly wished he could have done something to help out on both sides of the ball. That would cause him to open up his ISFL position to somewhere he deemed much more viable to the team that would draft him.

2045 - Chicago Butchers

After being drafted third overall by the Chicago Butchers, Jason Garciaparra was quickly called up by the team to fill a role on the defense before the ink dried on his contract. The team was expecting to use him at his DSFL position but Jason quickly was hitting weights and different pizza joints in Chicago that made playing at cornerback nearly impossible. He moved back to his college position as a defensive end to fill a massive need for the Butchers who were without a defensive end until he showed up. During the offseason, Jason spent most of his contract money through parties or various events that he hosted for the baseball season which landed him a spot on the streets. He remained homeless as a rookie while playing on the field and finding odd jobs to complete to keep getting Dunkin’ Donuts as well as eating out at different pizza places. In the middle of the season, Jason came out to the football world after announcing his engagement to a Dunkin’ Donut’s cashier, Alex Hamilton.

On the field, Jason managed to perform his role as a defensive end by allowing for multiple open lanes for his linebackers to work through. His assistance on the field worked more as a helper to his teammates that were having to pick up blocks themselves rather than being able to find open spots toward running backs or quarterbacks. However, Jason was able to make a small effect on defense with six sacks that kept his rookie season from being just helping others. The Butchers themselves did not make it far in the season, and the team was sent home after the regular season.
