Simon The Frog (born June 23, 2027) is an American football cornerback who is currently preparing to enter the professional ranks.He played college football for Oregon (ORE) and has declared his intent to enter the professional ranks next season.

Early years

Simon the Frog made his first appearance to the world in Dallas, texas, as the pet frog of wide receiver William Lim, who was playing for the local Birddogs at the time. Following a freak accident involving Lim's friend and some radioactive material during an offseason Lim and his pet spent in Lim's home country of South Korea, "Simon" came to assume the bizarre form of a human- frog hybrid. After the incident, Lim enrolled Simon to the HIghland Park HIgh School- one of the better High school Programs in Dallas- in hopes that his former pet will find a path as a football player like he did. At Highland Park, Simon was a 4 year starter in the varsity team, mainly at wide receiver and cornerback positions. He became known as a blue chip cornerback prospect by his senior year, as he showed dominant performance all year long as Highland Park made the run to the state finals. Simon was listed as a 4-star recruit, and the #5 best cornerback prospect in Texas, with the scouting reports describing him as "a player with supreme athletic ability, especially at twitchyness and jumping, a remnant of his frog days". After receiving multiple offers from schools such as Texas A&M, USC, Texas tech and Colorado, Simon commited to University of Oregon stating that he "felt at home seeing the green of Oregon uniform"

College career

Simon started out his career as an Oregon duck As the 5th cornerback on the depth chart. He mostly played special teams snaps as gunner and kickoff team member, and saw some playing time in the defense during limited situations such as dime packages. However, he started to receive more playing time in defense towards the back half of the season. As a sophomore, Simon finally became a full time starter at the cornerback position, although he played some snaps at free safety spot in some packages. His technique showed massive improvement as he retained his speed and agility from high school days. that resulted in Simon being selected to 1st team all- PAC 12 after a season with 8 interceptions. By his junior season, Simon was without a doubt the number 1 cornerback on the Ducks depth chart. He made 1 team preseason All American, and proved the hype right as he proceeded to grab 12 interceptions in the season, including the tide- turning pick six in the conference championship. After the season, Simon declared for DSFL draft, forgoing the rest of his NCAA eligibility.

2048 Season

Simon the Frog started his DSFL career with a good note, as he was drafted to the Bondi Beach Buccaneers with the 9th overall pick of the season 33 DSFL draft. And due to the Australia based team's circumstances, Simon began the season at the team's number 1 cornerback spot, something that he did not relinquish throughout the rest of the season. Simon struggled a little bit as he adjusted into pro football, especially he was thrown into a circumstance that he had to face off against opponents' number 1 receivers- usually ISFL senddowns with much more pro football experience than Simon- when he was mostly just a rookie more known for the physical aspects of his game. Despite that, however, Simon persevered and improved as the season progressed. He started to record key tackles in third down situations as the season drew near its end, and he finally got the ever- elusive first interception in the pro level in a week 11 away game against the London Royals, even proceeding to get his second one a quarter later. Simon finished the season with 94 tackles, 2 interceptions, 18 passes deflected, and one forced fumble and fumble recovery each. Considering the situation Simon was in and the fact he had little help as most of the other players in the Buccaneers secondary were also fellow rookies, this was more than an adequate result.

2049 Season

After his successful rookie season, Simon was selected to the Yellowknife Wraiths in the 2049 ISFL draft, with the far-north team using their first rounder-second overall pick- to move Simon literally halfway through the globe. However, they decided against calling Simon up to their team immediately as they deemed he was too "green"-in more than one aspect- to play as a starting cornerback in ISFL level. The team instead opted to extend one of their inactive starters for an additional season. In his second season in the DSFL, Simon's performance was about on par with how he fared in his rookie season. He again led the team in tackles, with 84, and recorded 3 forced fumbles and interceptions each while recovering one of the fumbles he caused. However, he showed a lot of fluctuation in performance in a game to game basis, as he would perform stunningly against tough competition in one game, and then fail the expectations against rookie wide receivers in the next. Nontheless Simon still put out an acceptable performance in this season, contributing the Buccaneers' run which very nearly resulted in playoff berth. After the regular season was over, the Wraiths announced their intentions to call Simon up to Yellowknife as they had a need of a starting cornerback.

2050 season

After two seasons with the Bondi Beach Buccaneers, Simon was called up to Yellowknife Wraiths, with him having to adjust to -quite literally- polar opposite atmosphere. Even while all that was going on, however, Simon managed to snag the second starting cornerback spot in the depth chart before the start of the season, and keep that position throughout the whole season. As an ISFL rookie, Simon spent the season adjusting to ISFL level of play, getting used to faster opposing receivers and overall TPE level of other position players. While not making flashy plays-such as interceptions or sacks- Simon contributed to the team by being a sure tackler and a speedy, sticky cornerback on the outside, not being highly targeted for a low TPE rookie cornerback. Simon would finish the season with major stats including 65 tackles and 14 passes deflected, while the team finished third in NSFC, before suffering one of the most depressing last time loss at the hand of the Chicago Butchers at the ensuing wildcard game.

2051 season

Simon began his second season in the ISFL as the second cornerback on the team depth chart behind Kalam Mekhar, which was exactly where he was the season before. Aside from the roster spot, though, Simon did show some improvements in his performance. He became more agile, he became a better tackler and most importantly he became more experienced. Those improvements in performances were reflected on his stats for the season. Whereas Simon recorded no other significant stats aside from tackles and passes deflected in the last season, he managed to record a sack this season. And also, Simon finally managed to record his first career interception in week 15 loss against the Chicago Butchers, even managing to return the interception for a long pick 6. Aside from those "flashy" stats, Simon managed to record 10 more PDs than he recorded last season. Partially thanks to Simon, the Wraiths defense held their own throughout the season, resulting in another trip to the wildcard round for the team, which resulted in a loss to the Sarasota Sailfish.
