Mandrews "Sticky" McHollywood (born January 1, 2029) is an American football wide receiver who is currently playing for the New York Silverbacks. He played college football for Miami.

Early years

It wasn't until his early teens that Mandrews McHollywood realized that he had a gift. Toss him a soda can or a baseball? He'd catch it. Drop your phone or anything else you had in your hands? It wouldn't have a chance to hit the ground. Mandrews's reactions combined with his hands made for one of the best wide receivers of all time out of St Thomas Aquinas. Mandrews had his choice of every high school in the great state of Florida and decided to go to St Thomas after their 15-0 season the year before. From the training camp of his freshman season he went from a hyped prospect to immediate wide receiver 1. He never lost that spot throughout all 4 years of his high school career. Averaging 100+ yards per game and never scoring fewer than 1 TD every friday. His 5 star recruit rating never waivered and he ended his high school career as the number 1 recruit in the country.

College career

As a 5 star offensive powerhouse with no character or injury concerns Mandrews had his choice of colleges across the country. Alabama, Gerogie, Florida State, Penn State, even places like the Florida Gators all reached out but From a young age Mandrews knew he wanted to stay as close to home as long as possible. With that in mind the choice was easy, and the Miami Hurricanes were more than happy to accept the future Heisman trophy winner. Unlike his immediate high school success, he didn't immediately find the wide reciever 1 spot given to him before the start of the season, he started as the teams reliable, if a bit slow, slot receiver. Used as the sure option on 3rd downs McHollywood was the best receiver in the nation at moving the chains in clutch situations and in the red zone. After that he worked on his speed and was promoted to WR1 and never looked back.

Professional career

DSFL career

Minnesota Waiver Season (S34)

Mandrews McHollywood entered the league precisely on the date of the trade deadline, and thus went into the waiver wire for every team in the DSFL. The Minnesota Grey Ducks picked up McHollywood and slotted him into their wide receiver depth chart. The Minnesota Grey Ducks were 5-4 at the time of acquiring the rookie wide receiver and immediately went on a winning streak, winning 4 out of their last 5 games to end the season 9-5 and leapfrogging the Kansas City Coyotes for the number 1 seed in the DSFL North. Mandrews himself did not record any stats for the Grey Ducks in his time with them, as he was the 4th ranked receiver on the team and did not see the field. The Grey Ducks made it to the Ultimini after a 23-10 wild card win over the aforementioned Kansas City Coyotes and advanced to face the Dallas Birddogs. Dallas then proceeded to blow Minnesota out of the water by a score of 33-7. Mandrews once again did not put up any stats over the postseason. After the loss Mandrews and every other waiver pickup was released and is set to be drafted on April 30th.

Mandrews was drafted to Kansas City with the 53rd overall pick in the 7th round of the S35 DSFL draft.

Kansas City Rookie Year (S35)

Mandrews was forced to compete with three other receivers drafted to Kansas City. Octavio Perez, Zaphod Beeblebrox, and Austin Morley all jostled for play time to catch passes from Queen Elizabeth. Mandrews topped them all however with 57 catches for 1015 yards and 6 touchdowns leading the team in both yards and yards per game and yards per reception. Mandrews also lead the league as a whole in yards per reception and was one of only 7 receivers in the league to top 1000 yards.

The Coyotes would finish 8-6 second in the North and locked into the playoffs. Mandrews would hit 50 yards in both playoff games and the Coyotes would beat the Pythons 34-30 and lose in the Ultimini to the Norfolk Seawolves 23-14. Mandrews’s playoff stats would be in total: 8 catches, 100 yards, 29 yards for the longest catch.

Mandrews is expected to be a top 25 pick in the upcoming ISFL draft.

Kansas City Second Year (S36)

Mandrews McHollywood's sophomore and final DSFL campaign on the Kansas City Coyotes was a true breakout campaign for the young superstar. Topping all but one of his previous seasons marks in catches, yards, and touchdowns, while dropping fewer passes. The only tally that was not improved was his yards per catch metric which decreased from 17.8 to 17.5. His total yardage of 1,312 ranked 3rd in the league and his 11 total touchdowns was tied for 4th. Mandrews also made team history with the new single game receiving yards record in week 13 against the Dallas Birddogs with 4 catches for 189 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Mandrews also broke out as an elite return man leading the league in kick return yardage while tied for 3rd in average return distance.

The Kansas City Coyotes went 5-9 enroute to a last place finish in the DSFL North.

Mandrews received several awards nominations including DSFL Receiver of the year, return man of the year, and was selected to the S36 DSFL Pro Bowl.

ISFL career

New York Silverbacks Rookie Year (S37)

Mandrews McHollywood entered the ISFL amongst a large group of rookie wide receivers and separated himself almost immediately. New York was facing a dearth of targets for veteran QB Malcolm Savage to throw to so Mandrews was asked to fulfill the role of wide receiver 2 and McHollywood made the most of his opportunity in week one with his first professional 100 yard game with the line of 7 catches for 109 yards and a 16 yard score. The rookie receiver added another few 100 yard games throughout the season with his best coming in week 13 against the Copperheads with 6 catches for 104 yards and a touchdown. Mandrews ranked second in rookie receiving yards behind Austin Copperheads rookie Delores Bickerman who totaled 1263 yards on 120 catches. He was ahead of Yellowknife's Calvin Spiff, Chicago's Austin Morley, and NOLA's Don Dobbler. Mandrews McHollywood is set to take over the teams No.1 slot next season.

New York Silverbacks Second Year (S38)

A sophomore slump was in the cards for Mandrews McHollywood's second season and his first as the Silverback's primary target. 71 catches for 802 yards and 9 touchdowns were his totals after 16 games. It was the first time in his career he finished under 1,000 yards total and his fewest number of catches in a season since his rookie year in the developmental simulation football league. The Silverbacks were able to balance out his lacking year with a great performance from rookie Matthew Mara who topped Mandrews in yards and average yards per catch, with 65 catches for 1,117 yards and 8 touchdowns. The one bright spot for Mandrews personally was his league-leading 94-yard touchdown in week 7 against the New Orleans Second Line. The Silverbacks finished 9-7 and won in the first round against the San Jose Sabercats 31-9 where Mandrews had his best game of the year with 5 catches for 145 yards and 2 touchdowns. The following week they lost to Arizona 28-31 in the conference championship where Mandrews put up 2 catches for 76 yards.

New York Silverbacks Third Year (S39)

Following a disappointing sophomore season, Mandrews McHollywood went into year 3 determined to bounce back, and bounce back he did. Putting up a career best in yards with 1059, tied best in touchdowns with 9, and second most catches with 79. He also had the second-longest catch of his career going for 77 yards for a touchdown against Orange County in week 15. He also set a career-best in touchdowns in a single game with 3 against Arizona in a week 12 loss. Also in week 15 Mandrews had the best game of his career going for 143 yards on 5 catches scoring twice, and averaging 28.6 yards per reception. This was a bright spot to an otherwise mediocre New York Silverbacks season, as the team finished 6-9-1, eliminated with a tie against the Otters in week 15. Mandrews finished strong, with 2 of his 3 100 yard games coming in the last 2 weeks.

New York Silverbacks Fourth Year (S40)

The 40th season of ISFL Football was an up-and-down affair for both Mandrews McHollywood and the New York Silverbacks as a whole. Mandrews recorded the fewest receptions in a season in his ISFL career, and the 2nd fewest when you include the DSFL, but he did the most with the ball in his hands in his career. Easily setting a personal best in average receiving yards per catch at 15.9, jumping his previous best of 13.4 in season 39, despite the lower number of catches he still managed to top 1,000 yards for the second straight season and the 3rd time in his career. His 15.9 receiving average ranked tied for best in the league with teammate Matthew Mara. He finished with only 4 touchdowns on the year.

Mandrews took over full primary return duties for the first time, including punt returns, with 1,033 special team yardage and no scores, just one yard shy of his receiving yardage total.

New York Silverbacks Fifth Year (S41)

The first year under new Silverback’s quarterback Blaine Falco was by all personal measurements, a rousing success. By far he had the most yards in a single season in his career at 1,232, easily beating his previous best of 1,059. With that total coming off of 76 receptions, he also achieved both a personal best and a league best 16.2 yards per reception, just ahead of CTC’s Derrick Prince and teammate Matthew Mara. Mandrews was the only receiver to average over 16 yards per catch. He also tied a personal best in single-season touchdown receptions with 9, just shy of his first double-digit touchdown total. He finished top 5 in receiving yards for the league for the first time in his career, at the number 5 slot.

As a returner he went back to the secondary role on kickoffs and remained as the teams top punt returner. Although he ranked in the lower levels of the league as a return man in terms of yards, he did manage to get his first career special teams touchdown in week 1 against the Baltimore Hawks.

Mandrews McHollywood was the second wide receiver named as part of the First-Team All-Pro squad.

New York Silverbacks Sixth Year (S42)

Mandrews McHollywood's sixth ISFL season, and his final before regression began, was easily not just the best season in his professional career but also the best season even including his DSFL career. 95 catches for 1,442 yards and 15 touchdowns easily broke every single one of his personal bests from the season before. It was not just a great season by his own standards, but it was also an amazing season by the standards of the rest of the league. 15 touchdowns in a single season is tied for 6th best all-time in league history, and for the New York Silverbacks it is only the 2nd time in team history that a receiver has hit such a mark since Jackson Kingston did it in season 25, 17 years ago. As for receptions and yards, although neither mark was good enough to break any team record, they both ranked inside the top 10, with 95 receptions ranking 8th, also tied with Kingston, and 1,442 yards ranking 4th.

Mandrews led the league in receiving touchdowns and came in 3rd in receiving yards while averaging 15.2 yards per reception good for 5th in the league.

Mandrews was the first receiver named on the S42 ASFC Pro Bowl roster and was also the first receiver named to the S42 First-Team All-Pro squad for the entire league.

New York Silverbacks Seventh Year (S43)

It was the seventh year Mandrews McHollywood would start at wide receiver for the New York Silverbacks and the first year he would play after regression began to sink its claws into the superstar wideout. Fortunately with the work he had put in during previous years he was able to remain maxed out in every sense of the word and so it was as though regression had never happened at all. Mandrews celebrated the beginning of his golden years with yet another 1100+ yard season, his 3rd in a row and 3rd of his career. His season long statline of 77 catches for 1161 yards were both best for the Silverbacks over the season. Funnily enough, for the 4th time in his career Mandrews ended the season with 9 touchdowns, 2nd on the team behind Matthew Mara's 10 scores over the year. With the Silverback's 14-2 record they received a first round bye and so Mandrews only played 2 playoff games and recorded 10 catches for 90 yards and no touchdowns in the Silverbacks first-ever Ultimus loss. On special teams Mandrews finished with 10 kick returns for 254 yards for an average of 25.4 yards per return with a long of 41 and returned 41 punts for 394 yards for an average of 9.6 yards per return with a long of 28

Mandrews was the second receiver named to the ASFC pro bowl roster behind Austin's Zaphod Beeblebrox.

New York Silverbacks Eighth Year (S44)

The second post-regression year for Mandrews saw the first true downswing in his late career. While the numbers for the year, 90 catches for 1,125 yards and 7 touchdowns, might seem right in line with what he's done over the last 7 years of his career, it's this impression given by the basic counting stats that reveals a simple glance at the box score is not enough to tell the whole story. Ever since the junior year of his ISFL career Mandrews's play has been defined by explosive outcomes. He's been among the league leaders almost every season in yards per catch, and if yards after catch were a stat tracked he'd almost lead the league in that too. In this season however, despite the impressive 90 receptions, his yardage total is, quite simply, pedestrian. His 12.5 YPC number is the second lowest of his career, and if he hadn't been targeted so often it's almost certain he would've had a total yardage under 1,000 for only the second time in his career. With only a handful of seasons remaining in his career, it's understandable that he wouldn't be what he once was, but if he can barely average a first down per every reception then New York would almost be better served throwing to the more reliable Matthew Mara or Sean Robinson.

Looking at the complete career picture, Mandrews continues to climb closer and closer to Tugg Speedman's career numbers with New York, only 212 receptions, 2,613 yards, and 7 TDs behind him. If he manages to even be serviceable over the next 2 or 3 seasons there's a very good chance he retires as the greatest receiver to ever wear a Silverback uniform.

New York Silverbacks Ninth Year (S45)

In the true twilight of his career, Mandrews showed the young guns of the league that he still had it. Catching 95 passes for 1,323 yards for 13.9 yards per catch and 5 touchdowns. This is tied for the most catches in a single season in his career, and the second most yardage he’s ever had. In terms of every metric outside of scoring touchdowns, this was one of the best years of his career. Unfortunately, and this was reflected by the rest of the team, finding the endzone was a bit more of a struggle. 5 TDs is certainly not nothing, but before this season 7 touchdowns was the standard to which he kept himself. Now, outside of his sophomore campaign, this was his worst season at finding the endzone. This is particularly striking as the last time Mandrews topped 1300 yards in a season, he caught 15 scores, a large downgrade.

As a team the Silverbacks finished 5th in the ASFC at 8-8, and Mandrews was once again the teams top receiver despite being downgraded to sharing the WR2/3 role for the team behind Matthew Mara and Sean Robinson.
