Rose Emily Jenkins (born May 18, 2009) is an American football quarterback who is currently playing in the National Simulation Football League (NSFL) with the Chicago Butchers.

Early years

Rose Emily Jenkins was born on May 18th, 2009 and shares her birthday with her father. Her father is retired National Simulation Football League original Leroy Jenkins and her mother is Simulation Hockey League enforcer Dakota Reid. Contrary to popular belief, Rose was born before the two's careers started. Don't believe any media stating otherwise as they clearly didn't do their research well enough. Rose has spent most of her life with her father, as her mother is still an active hockey player for the San Francisco Pride. This has meant that she spent more time around football than hockey and it appears that is what has effected her the most in her life. Helping her dad with practices in his coaching days, Rose always enjoyed being in charge. This led to her interest in the quarterback position. While her dad always thought she'd go on to be a kicker, Rose shocked her family by going to Northern Illinois University as a walk-on quarterback.

College career

Arriving at training camp, Rose showed incredible talent at not only throwing inch-perfect passes; but she also impressed with her brilliant handle of the playbook. Reading the defense perfectly and shifting her squad's routes may not have been what the coaches wanted in practice, but it's what she did. Earning the starting job as a true freshman, Rose put up record-breaking numbers for the school with over 3,300 yards and 35 TDs. Unfortunately, the defense had a surprisingly trash year and although they won the MAC Championship, the Huskies didn't make the National Semifinals. They did, however, make the Fiesta Bowl, which Rosie continued to excel in and her defense continued to fail in. They lost the game 66-63 in a shootout that ultimately ended with a last second field goal for her father's alma-mater: The Oregon Ducks. This drove Rosie over the edge and seeing that there were no rules against it, declared for the DSFL Draft at the age of 19.

Professional career

DSFL career

Rose Jenkins was drafted 16th Overall by the Kansas City Coyotes in the 2028 DSFL Draft. Jenkins had history with the team, as it was one of the teams coached by her father Leroy for a single season. She came in with little fanfare and was expected to backup established starter Luke Boechler. This situation was changed halfway through the season after Boechler was caught up in a money laundering scandal and banned from football. Rose would start the final 6 games and finished the season with 2306 yards, 10 passing TDs, and 12 interceptions. The Coyotes would make the playoffs, but lost in overtime to the Tijuana Luchadores. Once again frustrated by her teammates' inability to help her win, Jenkins went into the NSFL Draft.

The 2029 NSFL Draft was not quite filled with "controversy" so much as it was filled with too many quarterbacks and not enough spots for all of them. It was believed that the Yellowknife Wraiths would select Arkansas phenom Cooter Bigsby with the first pick and that the Baltimore Hawks would take Czech standout Corvo Havran. After those two picks, the only team left in desperate need of a quarterback would be the Arizona Outlaws, who picked third. According to reports, there were intense talks between Jenkins and the Outlaws and it was believed that they would draft her to instantly start the next season, as the previous quarterback Kevin Fitzpatrick had abruptly retired the season prior. However, when they took their turn at the draft they selected Gekyume Stokeley instead and would later announce that defensive end Andrew Reese would take over play-calling duties. This decision would cause Rose Jenkins to fall another round to the San Jose Sabercats at the 14th overall pick.

Because the Sabercats already had a star quarterback in Joliet Christ, Jenkins was sent back down to the Coyotes to continue her DSFL career. She once again hit upon another controversy when the Kansas City Coyotes selected another quarterback in the 2029 DSFL Draft, Ryan Leaf Jr. Due to DSFL rules, two would have to split time. This did not sit well with Jenkins, who believed that she had earned the starting job after the previous season. Fights broke out in the locker room and at times spilled onto social media until Leaf was traded to the Norfolk Seawolves mid-season. This distraction had already had a massive negative effect on the season and the Coyotes would finish the season at just 2-12, the worst in the league.

Still without a chance at an NSFL starting job, Jenkins took her player option for a second season getting paid by the Sabercats and a third season playing for the Coyotes. Now finally solidifying her starting spot, many believe that this would be the year that Jenkins would take over. She did not and after just a few games into the season, the team asked her about changing her play style. Jenkins, remembering what her father did wrong in the DSFL, offered to cut her own touches in order to help the team. She suggested that the team turn towards the rushing game, which helped propel the team to finish out the last 10 games of the season with 6 wins and make the playoffs. While helpful with the coaches, she was less impressive on the field, netting only 7 TDs and throwing away 14 interceptions.
