Michael Rood (born January 15, 2007) is a retired American football tight end of the National Simulation Football League (X). He played college football for University of Minnesota (UMN) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.


Early years

Rood grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His family had always been deeply involved in football, and Rood had dreams of playing WR at the pro level. However, Rood never had the frame or skillset to be a high-caliber WR, so he switched to TE in high school.



College career

"Rood was severely undersized out of high school, weighing in at just 185 pounds as a tight end prospect. His impressive jump off the snap was able to limit his size disadvantage, but he know he'd need to put on muscle weight if we wanted to succeed at higher levels.

Most major programs balked at the prospect of a sub-200 pound tight end, but the school in his home state let him walk on and make an effort to prove himself. Rood was religious in the weight room, putting on nearly 20 pounds in his freshman year. He continued to bulk up, and now weighs in at a much more palatable 240 pounds. Rood was named starting tight end for his junior year, and held the position for 2 seasons.

Rood saw good success in the B1G as a receiving threat, especially in the endzone. Over his two years as a starter, he amassed 65 catches for 1034 yards and 18 TDs.

Rood has always had strong and reliable hands, and his speed off the line makes him a threat for quick passes where he can get the ball and secure the needed yardage. Rood has never been one to juke a defender out of his shoes or outrun pursuing DBs down the sideline, but his ""do whatever it takes to get the job done"" mentality clearly shines through in his game.

""As a true freshman in 2012, Player rarely started, but was able to make an impact with thirty tackles and and two interceptions. The following year saw noticable improvements, as Player started the majority of games, and saw a dramatic increase in tackles.... """
