Early years
When I was just a little turtle when I was exposed to some crazy weird ooze. I was then taken in by Master Splinter who taught me discipline and control. The first thing I was tuaght was how to master the martial arts. Once I had mastered my craft there I decided I needed to find a new challenege. I looked and tried many things but decided the best course of action for me was to try out football. I have since learnt to use these skills to conqour the gridiron. I started late in highschool but with the skills I had used my size and skills to help put me to the front of the school. After highschool I was awarded a scholarship to the Shaolin Temple I really found my stride on the field playing next to my brother who also decided to pursue a career in football as well. Naturally we are two peas i a pod. He played right beside me in the DT job. I have played my whole career beside him.
College career
My strange upbringing continured to play a role in my life. I chose the Shaolin Temple as a school I really respected due to the nature and connection it had to the marital arts. I was lucky enough to have my brother Raphael with me for this journey. College got off to a rocky start as I had to find a way to balance my love to pizza and partying compared to competing against much better athletes at the college level. Though I had the mental fortitude to power through some of the hardships and still end up finishing my rookie season with 30 combined tackles with 15 sacks. Not a bad start for a rookie right? Well I was able to pretty much match that the next 3 years of college ball despite our teams overall lack of success I found some pride in my personal achievements. Well to be honest the only real thing I focused on in college was football so I am glad I was able to declare for the season and the upcoming DSFL draft. without this opportunity it would mean I would have to go back to the sewers of New York and fight crime or something ridiclous.
