Leeroy Jenkins (born February 15, 2014) is an American football wide receiver who is currently signed to the Colorado Yeti. He played three seasons in the DSFL as a Myrtle Beach Buccaneer, played college football for Portland State University, and declared his intent to enter the professional ranks for the 2036 season.

Early years

Born in the state of Hawaii, Leeroy was not the perfect youngster in his early years. He was raised by his single mother and had 4 other siblings. He often got into trouble and even spent a year in juvenial detention when he was 12. That year away from his family and friends really woke him up however because he has been an amazing example of rehabilitation since his release. He credits a mentor named Uncle Wayne Garcia for showing him how to channel his extra energy productively on the football field. He learned and honed his craft as a middle linebacker for the St Louis Saints and started to get national attention as a junior. His senior year at St. Louis was a bit of a let down however as his numbers took a dip due to a nagging injury in his foot. The big name colleges who he started to talk to as a junior quietly backed off in search of greener pastures, but coaches from smaller schools still wanted him to play for them because they saw his potential. Leeroy chose Portland State University because they offered him a "full ride" scholarship and the team didn't have great talent at his position. He saw it as his time to shine.

College career

Leeroy started to get attention as soon as he hit the field. He did not start immediately however as there was an established journeyman senior that was starting to get attention from the DSFL scouts in a breakout year for him. However, halfway through the season the player ahead of Leeroy broke his ankle securing a fumble and was out for the rest of the season. With 6 games left in the season Leeroy collected 46 Total Tackles, 2 Sacks, 2 Interceptions, and 1 Fumble Recovery. Then as a true sophomore, Leeroy had 76 Total Tackles, 3 Sacks, 2 Interceptions, 2 Forced Fumbles, 1 Fumble Recovery, and 1 Safety. His final year at Portland State University was his junior year as Leeroy opted to join the DSFL draft process instead of returning for his senior year. He totaled 95 Total Tackles, 5 Sacks, 2 Interceptions, 1 Forced Fumble, 2 Fumble Recoveries, and 1 Defensive TD. He also blocked 1 field goal and played on the return team all 3 years. Leeroy was named a Team Captain in his Junior year and was honored to be included as a second team All-Conference for the Big Sky Conference as a sophomore and as a first team All-Conference as a junior. He was in the running for Defensive Player of the Year as a junior but it went to a Redshirt Senior DT from Eastern Washington University instead.

Professional Career

DSFL Career

2036 - (S21) Myrtle Beach Buccaneers

  • Leeroy Jenkins was scouted by almost all the DSFL teams but only one would call his name on draft day. Leeroy was drafted number 7 in the 16th round, 127th overall by the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers. Out of all the teams that scouted him, his best conversation came from one of the GMs on that team so he wasn't surprised that's where he went. He was also happy to go in the top half of the draft since this was a historically large draft class. Once he got to Myrtle Beach however the GMs talked with him and asked how he would feel transitioning from the linebacker position that he grew up playing into the wide receiver position. This was an area they needed help with and promised he would see the field more often if he did make the change. Leeroy said he was willing to do whatever the team needed to help them succeed. It was not an easy transition however and during his first season he had more than a few passed dropped and had difficulty absorbing the intricacies of running routes, but the team had faith in him and he did play in every game during that first season. Despite his struggles, he trained hard along with the rest of his team week in and week out and they were not only rewarded with a return to the playoffs, but with an Ultimini win. The Myrtle Beach Buccaneers won it all that year and Leeroy Jenkins helped them do it. Leeroy played in 14 games, had 11 receptions for 106 yards with an average yards per reception of 9.6. His longest reception was 21 yards but he failed to score even one touchdown. That was his biggest disappointment and he vowed to change that next season.

2037 - (S22) Myrtle Beach Buccaneers

  • Leeroy, after one full season in his new position, came back to Myrtle Beach on a mission to claim a starting spot on this Ultimini winning offense and after training camp was over it was revealed that yes, he would share starting duties with Garfield Despacito Jr.. That was all the confirmation Leeroy needed to know his many hours in front of the "juggs" machine and practicing his footwork late into the night was paying off. This was a step in the right direction but now the focus was to get back to the playoffs and win another Ultimini with his friends here in Myrtle Beach, before the big move to the Colorado Yeti. In addition to sharing the starting wide receiver spot with Despacito Jr., they would also share kick off return duties as well. Leeroy was ecstatic because he knew any chance he had to get back on the field was one more chance to do something great! The season started off amazing by going 3-1 in preseason and starting the first two regular season games by winning both of them as well. But then the team would go on to lose eight of their next ten games and even though they had a great push in the last four weeks, they fell short of even making the playoffs by losing their last game of the season. It was a heartbreaking end finish the season that way. Leeroy again played in all 14 games and logged 27 receptions, 420 yards with an average of 15.6 yards. His longest reception was for 35 yards and he did end up scoring 4 receiving touchdowns. Leeroy in his special teams role fielded 29 kick returns for 594 yards and an average of 20.5 yards per KR. His longest return was 99 yards where he did score 1 special team touchdown! His S22 was capped with an invitation to DSFL Pro-Bowl where he was received votes for two different positions, offensive flex and special teams.

2038 - (S23) Myrtle Beach Buccaneers

  • In his final DSFL season with the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers, Leeroy Jenkins again shared starting duties with not only Garfield Despacito Jr., but with Brock Bodenhamer as well. Their quarterback for the last two years, Chris Ramos, was showing signs of age so the newly drafted Joseph Joestar started taking first team reps and eventually took over the role as the season progressed. This was a beneficial to the wide receiver group as a whole because Joestar was less prone to take off and run the ball and more likely to throw it to a hopefully open teammate. The season once again started with promise as the Buccs won three of their first four games. Unfortunately, only one of those games came against an in-conference rival. The team went on to win only three more times for the rest of the season with each win coming from an out of conference team. With a record of 6-8, that left the Myrtle Beach team out of the playoffs yet again in an obviously very strong conference. The Buccs won their games by an average of 13.8 points and lost some very close games by an average of 10.1 points per game. Leeroy was very disappointed in the way the season finished short of their goals, but on a bright note his individual numbers yet again improved. He ended up almost tripling his receptions for the year by grabbing 63 balls for 791 yards. His yards per reception dropped from 15.6 to 12.6 but extended his longest reception from 35 yards to 41 yards. He also added 7 touchdowns which was an improvement over his 4 touchdowns the previous year. Leeroy was the 7th best receiver in the DSFL based on yards, 6th best based on reception totals, had the 5th longest reception of the year, and ranked 3rd in touchdowns. These ranking, while not good enough to get him into the DSFL Pro-Bowl as a wide receiver, were good enough to get him in as the only Offensive Flex player for the SFC.

Leeroy Jenkins left the DSFL with 101 receptions for 1317 receiving yards and 11 receiving touchdowns, 29 kickoff returns for 594 yards and 1 kickoff return touchdown, as a two time DSFL Pro-Bowler, tied the Myrtle Beach single season reception touchdown record with 7, tied the Myrtle Beach career, season, and single game record for number of Kick Return Touchdowns with 1, holds the Myrtle Beach Longest Kick Return with 99 yards, and one Ultimini winning season.

ISFL Career

2039 - (S24) Colorado Yeti

  • Leeroy Jenkin's rookie career started in the preseason where the Colorado Yeti went on to win all 4 preseason games. Leeroy had a total of 9 catches for 153 yards and two touchdowns. His longest reception in the preseason was for 52 yards and that would end up being his longest catch of the whole season. William Lim was the number one wide receiver this year and Jenkins would take swap with Jackson Kingston as either the number two or number three wide receiver. Jenkins started his first few games as one of Wolfie McDummy's obvious redzone targets where after the third game Leeroy had come down with 4 touchdowns on 7 catches with 74 yards with one reception of 46 yards. The numbers started to even out as the season rolled along however as both William Lim and Jackson Kingston eventually passed Leeroy in yardage and reception totals and Lim passed him in touchdown total. Leeroy Jenkins ended the 24th regular season of the International Simulation Football League with 41 catches, 646 yards for an average of 15.8 yards per reception, 9 touchdowns, and with a longest reception of 51 yards. The Yeti, with the best regular season record of 14 - 2 went on to be the number one seed in the playoffs that year. They played the Sarasota Sailfish in the National Simulation Football Conference finals and won which put them in the season 24 Ultimus game against the San Jose Sabercats. The Yeti lost the Ultimus matchup tragically to end their amazing season. Leeroy in the postseason had unremarkable numbers with 3 receptions for 50 yards and a longest catch of 26 yards.
