Career highlights and awards

LeHarm James (born December 27, 2033) is an American football linebacker for the Dallas Birddogs of the DSFL. He played college football at Arkansas before being drafted as a kicker with the 12th pick in the 2056 DSFL Draft.

Early years

James was born in Memphis, Tennessee alongside his twin brother LeHarm "Harmie" James. The two had the same name due to a legal incident, and the latter became a relief pitcher in the PBE. James picked up kicking from a young age due to his role model being former Arkansas kicker Zach Hocker. He attended Fayetteville High School and gained notoriety for his impressive abilities to make kicks from a long range. James graduated as the only 4-star kicker in his class before committing to Arkansas.

College career

After redshirting a year, James spent four seasons as the starting kicker for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Over the course of his career, he broke the school record for most FGs made and most XPs made. In his junior and senior years, James won the Lou Groza Award for best placekicker. In his junior year, James was the subject of a joke campaign calling for him to win the Heisman Award after he accidentally scored a touchdown when his holder fumbled the ball. In his senior year, James led the Razorbacks to a College Football Playoff appearance after he made a 56-yarder to win against Texas.

Despite concerns he wouldn’t adjust well to having to also punt in the NSFL, he had a spectacular showing in the Prospect Bowl before getting drafted 12th overall to the Dallas Birddogs in the 2056 DSFL Draft. In his first game, he got the Special Teams Player of the Week Award with 3/3 XPs and a perfect day on field goals, including a 50-yarder. Before Week 2, he was named as one of the two team captains. While this was going on, James was having doubts about his position of kicker. He "didn't enjoy it as much as in college". Due to a rapid change in life, James began to stress eat and became the weight of a lineman. In practice, he was tried as a DE for a joke by the coaches. Despite it being a joke, it became apparent that he was the best defensive lineman they had. After two weeks of middling performances at kicker in a row, James announced that he would be switching to DE for the rest of his career. He played his last game at kicker in Week 4 of S41 of the DSFL. It wouldn't be until Week 7 when he got his first proper game at DE. Before his Week 5 match-up at Portland, a fan of the Pythons spiked his drink at a nearby bar. During the game, he was seen talking to the coaches about how something wasn't right. His illness continued into Week 6 vs. London, and after the game, reports came out about the fan being caught on camera. He was back for Week 7 and his play didn't improve much even after he recovered. This cold streak continued all the way to Week 13, when he finally broke through and got 7 tackles in one game. With Dallas winning two games though, that was it for the year. James was selected with the 22nd overall pick in the S42 ISFL Draft by the Chicago Butchers, but opted to stay down a year and play his new position of LB.

LeHarm James stated his desire before the season to help his team make the playoffs before he went up to Chicago. After starting the season 1-3, Dallas went on a 6-game win streak until they lost to the Minnesota Grey Ducks in Week 11. During this stretch, they allowed the least number of points in the league. Part of this was thanks to LeHarm James, who had exploded in productivity in his second year in the league at linebacker. Heading into the last month of the season, he was leading the conversation for Defensive Player of the Year (DPOTY). In Week 11, things started to unravel for LeHarm James and the Dallas Birddogs. They lost 2 of their next 3 games, which locked them out of the playoffs due to the disparity in divisions that year (3 teams in the South were better than the best team in the North on record heading into Week 11). Not only this, but James had a string of poor performances that led to him not being selected for All-Pro after leading DPOTY polls. Instead, he settled for the Best Defensive Performance with a great showing in Week 7 and the Pro Bowl. He's since been called up to start for the Chicago Butchers next season.

S43-S44

LeHarm James had a spectacular first season in the ISFL, ending up on the ISFL All-Rookie Team at LB. Despite his efforts, the Butchers as a whole did not have a great season. James was selected to the Southeast WFC team due to his efforts during the season, reuniting with his old teammate Ace Anderson. However, that team was knocked out early as well. The next year he had similar results as the team yet again missed the playoffs with a bad season.
