Troy T-Bone Barnes (born April 12, 2009) is an American football wide receiver for the Tijuana Luchadores of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL).

Early years

Troy Barnes was a natural athlete from an early stage. He was starting quarterback for his football team from the moment they started organized football. Troy's coaches relied on him heavily in order to succeed, often having Troy play on both sides of the ball. While this would sometimes cause Troy to be gassed by the end of the game, ususally he was up to the task. He was Mr. Denver Junior Athlete of the Year when he lead his sixth grade football team to a perfect record of 6-0. This was the point when Troy knew that football was something he had to pursue. While he didn't always have a love for the game as much as others, he was too good not to continue. By the time Troy was a freshman at Riverside High School, he was slated to be the starting quarterback on the varsity team. High School was the best 4 years of Troy's life, with football being a big reason for that. He was the most popular guy in high school, winning every school superlative including most likely to succeed.

College career

Troy had been recruited by most of the biggest schools in the country, including all of the Pac 12 programs. It was looking like Troy Barnes was destined to play D1 football and have a clear path to the NFL. That is, until his grades caught up with him. Troy was not a particularly studious individual, choosing to spend his free time hanging out with friends over studying. As such, his grades were below the point of any D1 school willing to bring on the talented QB. Instead, Troy decided to enroll in his local community college in Greendale. Troy was a big fish in a small sea at Greendale, getting lauded over his ability to play football. Greendale certainly needed the help and Troy appeared to be the answer. Eventually it leaked out that Troy was not really wanting to play football anymore, instead choosing to hang out with friends while also taking a bigger interest than he had ever previously done.

Professional career

DSFL career

Eventually, Troy's interest of football came back and he decided to pursue the less traditional route of joining the ISFL instead of the NFL. Troy decided he no longer wanted to be quarterback, as there was too much pressure on his shoulders. He decided that wide receiver would be a better combination of his skillset and not dampen his re-found love of the game. One thing that motivated Troy in joining the DSFL with the hope of someday playing in the ISFL was his best friend Abed Nadir also joining. The two friends met at Greendale and quickly became inseparable over the years. Abed was not the traditional, but certainly had the smarts to make things work well enough to also puruse a career in football. Truth be told, he is probably method acting his time as a football player and will turn this whole thing into a decade long documentary.

Troy has not yet entered the ISFL. With this being his rookie year in the DSFL, he is hoping to garner enough attention at the next level to become a draft pick. Troy was drafted in the 4th round at pick 31 and will be hoping to improve on his draft stock over the coming months. It's understandable that would have some hesitation about the young quarterback turned receiver. His head was not always in the game and that is a slight pause for concern. Still, anyone who watched the Prospect Bowl would have seen what Troy can do in this league. He absolutely lit things up, racking up 39 catches for 566 yards and 7 touchdowns. He also posted 5 catches for 113 yards in the Prospect Bowl Championship. Though The Typhoons didn't officially win in the Championship, the team looked like the strongest side for the Prospect Bowl and Barnes was a major player in that effort.
