Vladimir Fyodorovich the "Siberian Swatter" (born February 17, 1998) is a American football Cornerback for the New Orleans Second Line of the National Simulation Football League (NSFL). He played college football for Villanova before entering the professional ranks in 2022.

Early years

Vladimir Fyodorovich was born in Yakutsk in the cold Siberia. Like many out there he didn't have the easiest childhood but always had a knack for team games, and while hockey was the most popular sport out there he loved playing on the grass fields. So it happened that he attended unfamous Yakutsk School Number 16, but took this as an opportunity and learned both Korean and English with his time there also being able to master taekwondo.

As many Russians, he had a family in the States and when the opportunity showed up he immediately took it and enrolled at Villanova.

College career

Fyodorovich wasn't a perfect example of a college kid and had a huge problem adapting to the new scenery. Even though he was superbly agile and swift it took a long time before football coach took a shot at him.

As a true freshman and sophomore, he was only sitting on the bench. Game of football was still new to him and that time was needed for him to grasp even the basics. In his junior, he finally made his debut, but it was long after the season was already over for Villanova in the last game at the Cornerback position. He swore that his junior is going to be different and spent his whole free time learning the intricate details of playing as a defensive back. Then when his time was finally supposed to happen in the third game of the college season he tore his ACL, ending his hopes at least for that year. Even though his career was short lived he never benefited immensely from being in the system.

Professional career

Season 6

After his gruesome injury and painful rehab Vladimir Fyodorovich decided to join the ranks of National Simulation Football League in 2021 (S6) via DSFL waivers. Many teams showed his interest in rather unknown before player hoping to unleash his potential. The one lucky team that was able to claim him thanks to the draft waivers order was Marshals. They went on a title run, also with big contributions from their newly acquired cornerback, who earned along the way his nickname - "Siberian Swatter".

NSFL S7 Scouting Combine

Season 7

Being top prospect, against usual expectations of the waiver pickup, many anticipated that Fyodorovich will be quick off the board in the 2022 (S7) draft and so it happened when back then 3-time champions Orange County Otters drafted him with the 3rd Overall Pick. He signed three years rookie deal for an estimated value of $10M.

His rookie seasons was decent even though he played mostly out of position as Nickelback and was able to reach the Ultimus for the first time, falling ultimately short to the Philadelphia Liberty.

Season 8

Before 2023 (S8) season started he was traded to the NOLA alongside the OCO S8 1st Round for Safety Jaylon Broxton. While this move was hugely anticipated it surprised Russian Cornerback and left a sour taste in his mouth.

In his sophomore campaign, he was finally able to get his first interception in the 13th game of the season against San Jose Sabercats. Once again won with his team the ASFC, beating his former team, but this time in the Ultimus game losing to the Yellowknife Wraiths.

Season 9

After losing last season Vladimir entered the final year of his rookie contract, making him eligible for the extension. He felt like he was in the right place, so he decided to extend for three more years on minimum deal . Individually it was yet another disappointing campaign with just one interception and a significant drop in both deflected passes and tackles.

NOLA in Season 9 was a real powerhouse that steamrolled through opposition, both in the regular season and in the playoffs, which granted the first Ultimus title for the young Defensive Back.

Season 10

2025 (S10) started on a high note and brought a lot of hope for the continuing of the Cornerback career - in the first game of the Regular Season he established the franchise record of 3 interceptions in one game against Philadelphia Liberty. Unfortunately, it was the only interceptions he got that season and after the frustrating rest of year, including the lost Ultimus of 2026 (S11) in the rematch with Baltimore Hawks he decided to opt-out of his deal and test the waters during the Free Agency.

It was during these talks, where all teams expressed interest, that he decided that he won't be playing purely as a defensive back and heavily considered the radical position switch to the Quarterback, but settled to the position he guarded so far in his career - Wide Receiver. Yet again he signed the player-friendly extension with the Second Line.

Season 11

Vladimir Fyodorovich received NSFL S11 Performance of the Year Award for his performance in a Ultimus Game

Slotted as #1 Receiver he was able to get past 1000 receiving yards in his first season as Wide Receiver, simultaneously playing his old role at the defensive side. It was a certainly exhausting experience, but he was finally happy with his results on the field, first time in the NSFL career.

New Orleans team was able to secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs and after eliminating Otter County Otters in ASFC finals for the 4th time in the row they faced against season favorites Baltimore Hawks. It was the greatest game of Fyodorovich career, in which he got 4 total touchdowns - 3 receiving and punt return touchdown en route to an overtime victory.

Season 12

Vladimir Fyodorovich returned once again to the town of New Orleans to bring the Third Ultimus title to the Big Easy.
