King Zeus (born July 13, 1) is an American football cornerback who is currently preparing to enter the professional ranks. He played college football for University of Gods (OLY) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Zeus was born on Kreta, secretly, in a cave near the village of Lyktos. His mother, Rheia, hid from his father Kronos as she feared that the child instantly would be killed by him. They were Titans, and Kronos feared that his mighty children would disempower him. It wasn't the best circumstances to be born in and definitely not what you would call a happy family. Instead of Zeus, Rheia gives Kronos a stone to swallow. So Zeus grows up in the hiding, fed by a goat and people from the village. He early knew that he's destined to be great, and sooner or later he'll be clashing with his father. He was training hard to challenge him. When Zeus learned that his father didn't just intend to eat him, but already did with his brothers and sisters he stood up and faced him. With a ruse he let Kronos disgorge all of his siblings. Then a big war started, where Zeus and the gang fought hard against the Titans. Finally, they did win and Zeus became King of the Gods, that's why they also call him King Zeus.

College career

Zeus lived a long live ruling over the Olymp, but he always felt something was missing. He couldn't fill the hole in his heart with various women he fell in love with and had various children. The occassional fights against the Titans, when they tried to rise up again, were just some minor distraction to the tristesse of his allmightyness. That was around the time he found a new passion, which was the god-like sport of American Football. He went on to learn everything about the game, and trained really hard to get in shape for his ultimate goal, joining the International Simulation Football League. One of the harder decisions was, at what position he should try to enter the league. You would assume that he comes in playing Quarterback, as he isn't used anything else than leading. But he found another position that became his passion, Cornerback. What better feeling there is to shut down routes, pick off the ball and break up passes. So here he comes: He is fast as lightning and plays exciting like thunder, here comes King Zeus to break passes asunder.

College career statistics

King Zeus didn't happen to play football in college, but he already played a few games in the DSFL after joining there. This are the overall stats, regular season and postseason.

Professional career

DSFL career

2047 Season (S32)

Before his first full season of DSFL action happened, King Zeus was drafted. The team that took a chance on the mighty god who entered the league with an instant Ultimini title were the Norfolk Seawolves. Norfolk took a chance on him in the second round an drafted him at 14 overall. The rookie Zeus went on to start all 14 games for the Seawolves this season, and also lead the team in interceptions with 2. King Zeus was one of the important pieces of the league-best defense and also league-leading team. They finished the regular season with a 12-2 record and a league low points allowed of only 239 points. With the number 1 seed they went on to the playoffs, where they eliminated the Tijuana Luchadores with 40-20. King Zeus had a quiet game, recording 1 tackle and 1 pass defensed. In the Ultimini, Zeus lead the team in tackles with 7 on their way to the championship in a 26-22 win over the Portland Pythons. He also recorded 1 pass defensed. That's how King Zeus became a back to back Ultimini champion.

ISFL career

2048 Season (S33)

After his first full season, King Zeus got drafted to the ISFL, as every player does. This time, he got selected in the first round as the 9 overall pick by the team from Florida. It's quite a coinsidence that the god of thunder wanted to go to the team that's more suiting for his brother Poseidon, but he kind of rooted for that team and was super excited to find out that he indeed ended up on that team. King Zeus was called up to the big league right away, which was kind of surprising to see for him, but nevertheless exciting and meant he has to work even harder to keep up in the pros. He played all 16 games that season and played mainly at the position of Nickleback. He ended the regular season with 37 tackles, 10 passes defensed, 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles. The Sarasota Sailfish ended the season as the number 1 seed in the NSFC with an overall record of 12-4. That meant they had a first week bye (theoretically) and faced the Baltimore Hawks in the conference championship game. It was a close game which wasn't theirs to win that day, losing 24-30 to the later champion. King Zeus had a subpar first season, and going all the way to the championship game continues his strive of greatness.

2049 Season (S34)

In his sophomore season, King Zeus made a step back production wise, which was due to defensive packages and formations Sarasota ran this season. He was the nickleback when they played that formation, and he posted 30 tackles this year. This is 7 less than the season prior. But Zeus at least could improve on the interception front, where he managed to record his first interception in his ISFL career. With Free Agent aquisition Raeni Clarke and Calvin Hobbes there were two elite defensive backs ahead of Zeus in the depth chart. Raeni Clarke leaves the team with the end of the season again, which elevates Zeus to CB2 for the next season, which should mean a lot of improvement in stats. The Sailfish had a kind of up and down season all year, and finished the regular season with a record of 10-5-1. That was the 3rd place and another playoff appearance. The longest playoff streak in the league was continued, unfortunately they lost the wildcard round against Berlin Fire Salamanders and called it a season that way.

2050 Season (S35)

King Zeus advanced to CB 2 in his third season in the big league. He moved up in the depth chart due to the retirment of Sarasota all-time great Harrison Andrews, and swapped from playing nickelback to outside corner. On the other side of Calvin Hobbes, King Zeus played his best season so far and took another step forward in the big leagues. He hoped for a bit more, but what he got going was the closest to being a really good CB in the ISFL so far. He recorded 94 tackles, 3 interceptions and 21 passes defensed, which all are all-time highs for him in the league so far. In fact he tripled all his numbers compared to the season prior. Sarasota had a lot of bad luck this season, as coming in as one of the big favorites on the division title they missed the playoffs for the first time in ages. In fact, Sarasota missed the playoffs for the only second time in their team history so far, finishing the season with an 8-8 record.
