Kumquat Archipelago (born September 6, 1969) is an American football runningback for the Dallas Birddogs of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL).

Early years

Kumquat Archipelago was born with a dream in his heart: to produce the best citrus fruits any cluster of islands had ever mustered before and ever would muster. Unfortunately, that dream did not work out well for him from a very early age, so he decided rather early on in life to go with his fall back plan: a professional football player. Kumquat had heard talk of American Football but, being a young lad from Bali, had never actually seen the sport played, be it live or on a television. Kumquat, however, naturally excelled at most athletic pasttimes and football was no exception for him when he moved to America at the age of 8 and was finally able to dive into the nitty gritty of the sport. One of the first things Kumquat did upon arriving in America was enroll in a Pop Warner league where he learned the foundation of a football technique that would one day carry him on to unparalleled greatness.

College career

After a fairly successful athletic career in high school, including a highlight in which his team lost the national championship in his junior year, Kumquat was recruited by a few different well respected NCAA teams around the country including LSU (where he was told he'd probably never start), Maryland (where he was told he'd probably do nothing but start), and the University of Alabama Birmingham, whom he only briefly considered because of their "cool dragon mascot." Kumquat eventually settled on Stanford University, where he tried out for the team as both a receiver and a running back. Kumquat did not see the field in his first season, but began seeing more and more practice reps throughout his sophomore year, eventually culminating in his first NCAA start after the Cardinal's starting running back went down with an injury. After gaining the starting spot in his sophomore season, Kumquat would never give the spot up - despite only playing three seasons for the Cardinal, Kumquat ended his collegiate career at #3 in career rushing yards and #2 in rushing touchdowns in Stanford's history.

After a fairly successful (and short!) career in the DSFL with the Dallas Birddogs in which he was able to put up some decent stats but very unable to put up some decent wins, Kumquat Archipelago was drafted by the Yellowknife Wraiths and received a call almost immediately afterwards that he'd be coming up to join the rest of the Wraiths team in the big leagues. Kumquat's rushing abilities seemed to stay fairly consistent between his season in the DSFL and his first season in the ISFL, which is a great sign for things to come, considering the huge contrast in the level of defensive talent Kumquat is rushing against between the two leagues. After a fairly up and down regular season, Kumquat cashed in on a career goal he had set early on for himself; In his first season as a Wraith, Kumquat was able to help see the team to the playoffs, where many doubted they would stand a chance of competing let alone showing up. Unfortunately the Wraiths fell just short in the wildcard round of the playoffs, losing to the Chicago Butchers 24-20 and sending the Wraiths home for an early holiday. Season 35 gave Kumquat a great deal of hope for his career down the road though; if he's already making the playoffs and putting up nearly a thousand all-purpose yards in his rookie season, the sky is the limit for our citrus-y Island friend.

Kumquat was able to build on the taste of success he was offered in his rookie season thanks to some excellent play by both himself and his teammates. Although he did not have an awards caliber season or anything quite along those lines, he was able to break the 1000 rushing yard mark for the first time in his professional career; hopefully the first of many times. Kumquat also proved himself to be a respectable asset in the passing game, racking up another 270 yards through the air. He is well aware that this is not quite enough, however, and if he hopes to be talked about among the upper echelon of ISFL running backs, he’ll have to learn to do better. Nonetheless, Kumquat could not be happier that he has made the playoffs every season he’s been in the league (even if that is only two seasons) and the team that surrounds him, in addition to steady management, has been an enormous part of the success. Here’s hoping to more success for both team and citrus!

Season 37 was without a doubt Kumquat's best year of his career, and the progression that has been displayed so far in his career has been more than enough to make the Archipelago family proud (and let's be honest, that's the goal right?). Kumquat's rushing yards may have taken a slight ding with the breakout of his dear friend and backfield partner Adebayo Akinfenwa, who is trying a new sport after a great career in association football, but Kumquat benefited handsomely from the breakout of his friend in the form of stealing all of Akinfenwa's touchdowns. Kumquat's coaches foresaw Akinfenwa's breakout as a rusher, and prepared Kumquat for this by having him work on his hands for much of the offseason/preseason. Kumquat found himself playing in the wide receiver role, and occasionally even tight end, in most games, and he saw great success in this role. His ability to help his team cruise down the field through the air, coupled with the opportunity to leech rushing touchdowns from his partner in crime, not to mention Kumquat's own rushing talents, made this season Kumquat's best year personally, and he hopes to continue in that same progressive direction. Kumquat would also be remiss if he didn't mention that the Yellowknife Wraiths were a game away from the Ultimus and are only getting better, so there's lots of hope in that department too!
