Jay Cue (born August 5, 2013) is an American football quarterback playing for the Portland Pythons of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL). He had no college football experience before getting drafted in the 2032 DSFL draft. Due to his peculiar football background, he was nicknamed as "The Portuguese Phenom" by some media.

Early years
Jay Cue was born in Lisbon, Portugal. Son of Peter Cue and Ana Silva, Jay grew up in Lisbon and attended the Military High School. With his father working for the US Embassy in Portugal, he grew up watching american sports, even though he only played soccer until he was 18 years old. He managed to go through the ranks at S.L.Benfica (from age 8 until 18), but at that point he decided to leave soccer and focus on his career as football player.
Elementary and High School Soccer career
Even though he attended Military High School since he was 6, he managed to play for S.L.Benfica after a scout saw him playing in a 5-a-side game in his home street. He signed for them at age 8, where he played until 18 years old, always as a midfielder, and he helped the team win several National Championships and Cups, getting 6 MVP awards. He was touted to play for the Benfica B team in the Portuguese Second Division after being offered a multi year contract with the main team and being linked with several top flight clubs abroad, but he surprisingly decided to leave soccer altogether and declare for the 2032 draft without a single snap played. With no College experience or film, draft experts did not give him a big chance to be drafted on the first rounds.
Troubled Past - Rumours
Even though it has never been confirmed by himself, some portuguese media stories reported that Jay Cue was spending a lot of time in the night scene, abusing alcohol and drugs. He was seen several times leaving nightclubs with his entourage and beautiful international supermodels, but he was never seen intoxicated in public. His record his also completely clean. Some of his higher ranked officers in military elementary/high school reported that even though he was a model student, he got involved in some minor pranks/hazing during his school years, which they considered pretty normal when compared to his classmates. When these stories got to the US Media, he was then nicknamed as Jay "Football" Cue.
Thoroughfare to Glory
Early August, ESPNFSL annouced that Jay Cue would be the star on their "Thoroughfare to Glory" (TTG) show, hosted by Zerin Andrews and Dirk Kirbstreit. This show, modeled after NCAA 11 Game "Road to Glory", follows Jay's career, looking into his life with interviews, game footage and panel discussion. With the DSFL season commencing shortly, it is expected that the show will also improve his ratings, after already being on the Top10 most watched documentaries of the year and top of the TV Guides "Must Watch TV Shows".

Cue declared for the 2032 (S17) DSFL Draft two weeks before it happened, but due to his position and the fact that the only snaps he played were during the 2032 (S17) Prospect Bowl win, with less than stellar results, this reportedly scared the GM's on wasting a pick on Jay. But, after declaring, he impressed the scouts and GMs with his work ethic and ability, getting an invite to the University of Oregon facilities, where he stayed and worked on his game until the Draft. After some mock-drafts, that had him going from the first to the third round, he became one of the most highly touted prospects and on August 19th he was selected with the 5th overall pick (and #1 QB off the board) by the Pythons.
