Dustin Parmelee (born April 20, 2023) was an American football quarterback for the London Royals of the Developmental Simulation Football League (DSFL).
Contents
Early Years
Dustin Parmelee was born in Brooklyn, NY. It wasnt long after his birth that he developed passion for football, that derived from his father. As DP grew up and developed into his body, he ran into uncertainty on the playing field because he ran fast, was smart but he could also catch the ball and throw the ball a mile. By the time he got to 9th grade he decided he was going to play QB. He started all 4 years in high school as the QB for the varsity team. He broke all the passing state record for single season and career by the time his season year came to a close. That winter he enjoyed his recruitment as all the big colleges from around the country came knocking on his door. He had letters from LSU, Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon and every other team you can imagine. He knew the whole time which school he was going to go to. His dream school. OSU.
College Career
Parmelee got recruited by his dream school the OSU Buckeyes. He was the unusual breed that was able to see significant time on the playing field. He helped lead the Buckeyes to a conference title and win over rival Michigan that season. This victory encouraged the team as he threw 5 touchdowns and ran for 2 more in a dismantling of the Wolverines. With the confidence gained from the victory, the Buckeyes went on to win the national championship, led by a freshman QB. A run to back-to-back championships is what was in the cards for the Buckeyes the next season. Parms junior season wasnt one to remember though. After getting injured in the first game, DP didnt know how to cope and wound up getting in trouble and was removed from the team by October. That spring he decided to forgo the rest of college and entered his name i as a free agent in the DSFL. He was late for the draft, so he wasnt able to be drafted. He was picked up off the waivers however buy the Tijuana Luchadores. Nothing was expected out of this pick up, defoinitely not any playing time, but the Luchadores were able to build up such a big lead in a few games that Dustin was able to get in some game action, and it without saying the greatest moments of his football career. He didnt expect what came next.

DSFL Career
S28
Tijuana Luchadores could see the talent in Dustin Parmelee when they interviewed him, 16 hours after entering his name in the free agent data base. Tijuana pickd him off of the waiver pile and gave him a home with the Luchadores. He was able to fit right in with the crew, and was a positive locker room presents. As of now he hasnt played a snap, and doesnt expect to, not this season any ways. With that said he does intend on learning a lot while observing the players on his team. The Luchadores have a rich history of winning, and DP gets to have a front row seat in their pursuit of a 9th DSFL championship! "I get to watch some great players doing their thing, on the winningest team in the league. Im lucky they took a chance on me and I vow to them I wont let them down. They wont regret picking me up off the waiver heap." Is what Dustin had to say about playing in Tijuana.
S29
Dustin was selected with the last pick in the first round, Number 8 overall by the London Royals in the S29 Draft. Also part of the incoming draft class was RB Kiara Tenoh, CB Savior Hawkins, WR Bradley Welch and QB Jack R, essentially revamping the offense that was devastated with ISFL call ups. The Royals went 0-4 in the pre-season then started on fire going 4-1 in their first 5 games. After week 5 things took a downward turn as they would lose 4 of their next 5 including 3 games in a row to bring their record to 5-5 with 4 weeks left in the season. The London Royals fought hard and played some inspiring football in the last four weeks, however, they were only able to finish the season with a 7-7 record. Both loses the Royals had the lead late in the fourth quarter but were not able to recover in either one. They missed the playoffs for the first time since season 27 and will be back with a vengeance next season.
S30
Dustins 2nd full season in the DSFL was a bit of a step back. He was named Offensive team captain prior to the season, and he was a much better player on paper, but the season started off on the wrong foot and they hit a slippery slope that seen them drop from a 7-7 record to a 1-13 record. He threw for more yards and had more attempts and completions but his TD total is matched his first season and he has broke the record for interceptions thrown in a season by a Royal QB with 18. By the end of Season 30 Dustin Parmelee already has made a name for himself in Royals lore, as he has etched his name next to every single record a QB can hold for the Royals except Touchdown Passes in a season, and of course he has yet to make the post-season. With a career record of 8-20 as the Royals starting QB, he will more than likely go down as the QB with the worst winning percentage in the history of the Royals. Not a record you would want as the history of success runs deep in London. Next season he will attempt to be the franchise record holder in all passing categories, as he is not yet expected to get the call up from Yellowknife in Season 31, but you never do know what might happen.
S31
Well Season 31 hasnt gone very well or according to plan for the London Royals, once again. 10 games in and their current record is 2-8. That gives me a career total of 10 DSFL wins and 28 loses. Been a rough time for the Royals during Parm's tenure. I just hope things eventually take a turn in the right direction.
Lets talk about good things though, instead of the bad. With 4 games left of Season 31 Parm currently stands at 9600 Passing in the DSFL. That is good for 7th all time, right behind Joliet Christ Jr. who had 9660. That puts him 3,370 yards behind the all time leader Buzz Swaggerty who had 12,970 yards. Dustin Parmelee also has 58 career touchdown passes in the DSFL. That would rank him 6th of all time right behind Joliet Christ Jr. who has 59. Number 1 of all time of course is Lebon James III with 73, Jay Cue & Zenyou Wozy are tied in 2nd with 65, Dexter Zarylren is 4th with 64. However Dustin is the all-time London Royals TD passes leader as he was able to surpass Charlemagne Cortez and his mark of 48 this season. For Dustin to top the TD passes list he would need 15 TD passes in the final 4 games. I can tell you right now that wont happen. Im going to predict he will throw 8 more, which will give him a grand total of 66, playing him 2nd all time right behind Lebron James and just getting past Cue And Wozy.

ISFL Career
S32
When Dustin Parmelee was looking over the rosters in the ISFL, and trying to be a psychic and figure out what teams were going to be on the market for a QB. In his best attempt at guessing what ISFL teams may be looking for a QB in the draft, he landed on two teams. The Orange County Otters and the Yellowknife Wraiths. Dustin found out that Colby Jack was the QB for the Wraiths currently, and was having MVP Caliber seasons while at the helm of Yellowknife. Then he found out Colby was the first ever QB in Royal history and took them to their Ultimini in their 2nd season of existence, and he knew Yellowknife was the place for him. He reached out to their GM instead of waiting for them to reach out to him. He wanted them to know this is what he wanted and he'd do whatever it takes to be their top pick. Dustin must have impressed them enough because on the night of the season 30 ISFL draft, the Yellowknife Wraiths selected QB Dustin Parmelee with their first round pick, the 8th overall selection.
"I couldn't be happier. I get to literally learn from the best the league has to offer today. This Wraith team is loaded with talent, and are going to be fighting for those Ultimus's for years to come." Dustin Parmelee was quoted as saying to the media on that draft night.
Parm got a quick reality check in his first career game in the ISFL for the Yellowknife Wraiths, against the Philadelphia Liberty and their stought defense. He went for 19-30 63.3% 158 Yards no tuddies and a pick for a measley 62.9 Rating.
His second game however Dustin was able to flash the greatness that the Wraith fans are hoping to see out of their future QB. Against Berlin he went 25-41 61% 330-yards 3 touchdowns and no interceptions with a 110.8 passer rating. YKW still lost but just barely by the score of 28-26.
Parm was mediocre over the next two games to wrap up the first quarter of his ISFL rookie season with 46-84 54.7% 527-yards 2-TDs and 5-Interceptions, to drop the record of Yellowknife to 0-4.
The season carried out as Dustin Parmelee took the usual rookie QB bumps and bruises that they all seem to ritually take. However the last two games of the season Parmelee showed his fans and his team some flashes of his potential, and they were excited with what they saw! Not only did they get two big wins over the Colorado Yeti by the score of 27-16 and the Sarasota Sailfish 34-17.But the Wraiths got it done with out star running back Jay Cue, who was traded to Berlin ahead of week 15 of this season.
In those final two games the Wraiths fans watch Parm carve up the Yeti to the tun of 23/33 321-yards 2-TDs 0-INT and a blistering 120.9 passing rating. This outing was not good enough to earn Dustin the Wraiths offensive player of the week.
In the last week of Parms rookie season the Sailfish came into town, and the Wraiths made sure they left question themselves on how they made it to the playoffs. In this beat-down by the Wraiths the Sailfish didnt see it coming. Parm paced his teams offense with 19/24 297-Yards 3-TD 0-INT and a new Yellowknife Wraiths record for passer rating in a game with an astounding mark of 157.8! This performance AND victory WAS enough for him to win Player of the Week as the Wraiths are encouraged with how Season 32 ended and may being getting some higher expectations for Season 32 as his combined numbers over the last 2 games were 42/57 73.9% 618 yards 5-TDs 0-Ints. What a brillent to end yet another dull season for Dustin Parmelee. But thats all for now. Another football season...another missed postseason.
S33
Dustin Parmelees S33 is officially over. It was another long season in Yellowknife for the Wraiths. They finished 5-11 and last place in the NSFC standings. Even though they matched their S32 record, this team just felt different. With former London Royal teammate Bradley Welch being traded to Yellowknife in the deal that sent Jay Cue Jr. to Berlin. He switched positions to be the Yellowknife lead runnning back, and with his former battery mate on the squad things started to fall into place. They still have some work to do but this team is moving in the right direction. Parmelee had his best week of the season in week 9 vs the New Orleans Secondline. This was a game for the ages as there was scoring galore involved. Welch kicked off the scoring in the first with a 1 yard smash inside. New Orleans matched that with a 1 yard run by The Stig two minutes after Welch scored. Then Brot scored on a 45 yard catch and run dime. Then Squidward said i can score too with a 9 yard catch to pay dirt. With 30 seconds left of the quarter, Welch scored for the second time making the score 21-14 after 1 quarter. In the second quarter only the Second line scored, with 2 field goals and a TD to make the score at half 27-21 New Orleans. The Secondline are also the only team to score in the 3rd quarter when De'Aaron Harper II picked off Parm and took him to the house on a 79-yard pick six. Making it their 20th unanswered point by Yellowknife and brought the Secondline lead up to 34-21.
With the crowd on their side though Dustin Parmelee, Bernd D Brot and company dug deep to try to bring this game back within reach. Bradley Welch scored his 3rd TD of the game on a 24-yard trot into the endzone with 9:18 left in the game making the score 34-28. Then nothing happened until the 2:00 mark when Mark Walker was able to get loose for an 11 yard TD catch, Parms second td pass of the game. This made the score 35-34 Yellowknife.
On the very first play of the next drive New Orleans QB IsHe ReallyInvisible launched an 80 yard bomb to Quinton Crash to retake the lead 42-35.
Over the next 1 minute and 1 seconds the Wraiths capped off an fast 8-play drive that included a 47 yard catch and run by Walker, and finished with a 1 yard TD catch from Parmelee to Bernd D. Brot. They kicked the FG to tie the game and sent this game into OT!
New Orleans started the extra frame with the ball and went 3 and out before a punt. The Wraiths on their first drive had some momentum after a 22 yard Sakura reception, and a New Orleans unnessary roughness penalty. But on the Secondline 14 Parmelee through an ill-advised pass that was picked off by DB Shuffleboard.
Once again the defense came up huge with a second 3 and out giving the Wraiths the ball with 1:42 left in the game. One the very first play of this drive, Parmelee hit Bernd D Brot AGAIN for a 40 yard score, to finally put this game away by the final score of 48-42. Dustin broke the single game Passing Yards record in this game throwing for an incredible 577 yards 4 touchdown passes, 2 interceptions and a 113.5 QB Rating!
Parmelee had two other highlight games where he was the best performer. Week 15 against Chicago he thew for 30-43 412 Yards with 4 TDs, and 1 INTS. Then in week 13 against the Yeti he got naughty again for 28-41 372 Yards 3 tuddies and zero picks. As for the season Parm lead all of the DSFL in yards passing, in just his 2nd full ISFL season with 5,229 yards! Just 142 yards more than Mattathias Caliban. Once again, Parmelee missed out on playoff action. Oh for 6 now in his DSFL & ISFL career. Hopefully next season changes that. Dustin Parmelee was elected to the Season 33 Pro Bowl as a reserve behind Mattathias Caliban.
S34
Season 34 started off with a bang by beating Orange County who played in the ultimis the sesason prior (233). Followed by 3 close loses which in turn followed up with 3 consecutive wins making them 4-3 at nearly the half way mark. After that the Wraiths lost 5 consecutive games in a row before beating the Yeti and the Hawks making them a dreadful 6-8 with two games remaining on the schedule. The Butchers (10-3-1) and the Honolulu (10-4), or in other words the two best teams in the league. It would appear as if Dustin Parmelee is going to miss out on the post-season once again, marking it the 7th straight season without a post season birth, as he has never played in the post- season. Parm did record his first two rushing touchdowns ever in his professional DSFL/ISFL career. As predicted the Wraiths lost their last two games, and basically due to the horrendous play of Parm. In the final two games he threw 1 TD and 4 interceptions. Imagine that. A 97 QB playing worse now then when he was an 85. cool cool.
S35
Season 35 has been a bit of a weird year for the Veteran QB Dustin Parmelee. The Wraiths have the worst offense in the league. Their rushing offense is enimic. Their passing offense is seldem. Through 6 games Parm is 110/168 for 1208 yards. All career lows through 6 games and all toward the bottom of the leader boards for passing. However the Wraiths are currently in a four-way tie for first place in their division! Can they pull it off? Guess we will have to wait and see. With 9 games in the books for Season 35 the Wraiths currently sit tied in first place with Sarasota sporting a 6-3 record. Week 9 seen their 4 game winning streak snapped at the hands of The Orange County Otters by the score of 20-17. During the 4 game win steak, Parm threw zero interceptions, but in both games that sandwiched the winning streak, the Wraiths lost, and Parm threw a pick in each game. Parm finds himself toward the bottom of the leader boards in terms of stat as he is in 2nd to lst in completions, and has made the fewest attempts for 1912 yards 15 TD passes and 6 picks. He sports a robust league leading 70.2 completion percentage and a QB Rating above his career average at 100.1. Right now the Wraiths are on track to get to the post-season, which would be the very first time for this field general. Stay tuned for the next update, as we should have a clearing vision of the post-season at that time. Despite almost giving their playoff spot away by losing 6 in a row including 7 of the final 8 games. They finished with a mediocre 8-8 record. The Wraiths played the Chicago Butchers for the fourth time this season in the post season (also played them in pre-season) The Wraiths lost every single game vs Chicago this season. Including the final game in the playoffs despite a 65 yard catch and run to end the game as Abed got stopped at the one yard line breaking the Wraith fans hearts!!
S36
Well here we are at the end of S36 and the Wraiths finished 9-7 just sneaking into the playoffs. As For Dustin Parmelee he threw the most interceptions since his rookie season. I just dont understand. Max in all passing ratings but still making major mistakes. I dont get it. I think the team might play too aggressive on offensve or something i dont know. But who cares about invidivual accolades and onto team achievementts. The Wraiths have made the playoffs for the second season in a row, and for the second time in his career. Last year they went one and done in the playoffs. THey hope for more success this season. The first round will see thet Wraiths play the 12-4 2nd seeded Sarasota Sailfish. In week 7 the Sailfish bested the Yellowknife 23-7. but in Week 11 the Wraiths beat the Sailfish 24-7. Who will win round 3? Guess we have to wait to find out!
