Well for Laszlo Forty-Two my render is not an NFL player but Arnie during his Terminator movies. However, both do share a couple of things in common. One of them being the ability to crush and kill anything with a pulse but not going to focus on that one! No the biggest thing they have in common is having a drive to be as good as they can be.

The personality between them is also similar. Whilst Laszlo does not work like a super computer that analyses everything in seconds he does have an analytical mind when deciding what the best course of action is. Also, when cool heads start losing it Laszlo and Arnie as the Terminator barely so any hint of emotion and just get on with whatever they need to get done. Also I believe they both have the ability to sacrifice for the greater good. Laszlo would do anything to make sure the Tijuana Luchadores win and same for now the Colorado Yeti just like Arnie sacrificing himself at the end of Terminator 2.

Luckily neither stadium have molten metals so I do not think I need to make an ultimate sacrifice but I think they both do have the cool calm and collected personality and drive that comes with Mr. 42 and the Terminator.

Cameron Olsens playstyle is largely based on Greg Olsen which is surprising to noone. The change to a vert threat archetype in the offseason changes that a bit, but his persona is still the same. Cameron Olsen doesn't want conflict with his teammates, has a ton of pride for his team, and doesn't make drama on the field or off. To me, Greg Olsen is someone that I want to match not only on the field, but off as well. From the outside looking in he seems like he's a great teammate and an awesome star of the team. Hopefully this is the season that Cameron Olsen takes on that star role and maybe the first game is indicative of that happening. I believe that I could be a good face of the San Jose Sabercats for seasons to come. If I end up moving to another team like Greg Olsen did, then I won't be spiteful of the Sabercats and I will transfer my team pride to my new home with whoever it may be. Also, Cameron Olsen has a fire rap song he made in college like Greg that may come to light soon. Don't know if I want that out in the open quite yet.

Joshua Palmer is a varied mix of various NFL players, but I feel the one that represents Palmer the most is not the render I chose but another tight end known by the name of Hunter Henry. Many don't know about who exactly Hunter Henry is, but they know of one of the craziest plays in recent memory that Henry was a part of; 4th and 25. Henry never gave up on the play and trusted that his teammates would be there to finish things off. Palmer's receiving talents mirror that of Henry's but the absolute undeniable trust emphasized in that play for his teammates is what Joshua Palmer goes for. Every team Palmer has played for he has tried to be an important piece of the team and to help boost up the people around him. A lot of other players do this, but the image of a trusting tight end hurling a ball back to his teammates in desperation is the ultimate form of trust from a player and is what Palmer strives to do as well. The position of tight end is one that requires a lot of patience for the one shining moment where people will remember it for a long time even if they don't remember your name. Joshua's receiving talents have given him some bright reliable moments to build off of similar to the 4th and 25 play, and hopefully become a very high potential tight end like Hunter Henry.

As a kid, the NFL was starting to go downhill in popularity due to the NSFLs success. This didn't stop me from watching it because I just love football and other sports. There are 2 guys I try to model myself after and one of them I barely even watched play. The guy who I try to build my game around is Derwin James. Ever since he came into the league I knew I wanted to be able to play like him. he is so versatile and is great at just about everything a safety needs to be good at. The guy I want to be like in the locker room played most of his career before I started to care about sports. That man is Larry Fitzgerald. He is a great leader in the locker room while being quiet and humble. I strive to be the kind of teammate he was. I do celebrate quite a bit more than he did, however. I hope that during the next 9ish years of my career, I can live up to what these 2 players did in their career and reach the heights that they did. Another guy who I've heard was great and I would like to live up to is Bob Sanders. He was able to make such a huge impact for the Colts when he was on the field. I want to be a player that is able to make a defense better with nothing but coverage ability and reputation. Sanders never had the best stats but his talent let the Colts be one of the best defenses in the league. I hope I can support the Outlaws that way.

Bubba Thumper was raised as a fan of the Houston Texans, but his game does not resemble any of the defensive linemen who've played there (although he enjoys watching Watt and Clowney go to work, and Wilfork is one of his favorite players of all time); instead, he models his game after former Seahawk, current Charger defensive tackle Brandon Mebane. Thumper grinds constantly to contribute to every single defensive snap, but he truly excels at stuffing the run, which comes from learning to use not only his size and strength, but leverage to his advantage, especially when an offensive lineman appears to have the upperhand at a glance. This technique comes from studying the work of Mebane, among others, who excels at working his way through gaps and standing up offensive linemen to force them out of position. This works especially well against the run, and Thumper has worked to emulate Mebane's game in hopes of finding the same success as a run stuffer. Of course, this run-focused technique means less success in the passing game, and just like Mebane, Thumper is rarely a major sack producer, but individual numbers aren't a huge focus of either player's game, so long as their respective teams are performing at the highest level.

My player was pretty much entirely inspired by the former NFL player William "Refrigerator" Perry. Freezer is a comparison for Fridge, and Perry (if you squint a bit so that it looks like Parry) is an analogue for Riposte. On the field, it's a pretty similar situation. Perry was a beast of a defensive tackle, and Riposte tries his best to follow in his footsteps. He's not quite like some of these more "in your face guys" like Suh, and not all that worried about putting up big sack number or tackle numbers or anything like that. Freezer is all about clogging up the defensive front, opening up more opportunities for his teammates to shed their single blockers and make the showy plays across the field. He prefers to not have to chase after people if he can help it. If it wasn't for these dang "Large Lads" taking all the snaps at TE, Freezer would love to emulate something else that Perry was known for - the ability to score some touchdowns on offense. Sure his hands kinda suck, but he could really knock some heads with his strength. Haloti Ngata is another good but not amazing defensive tackle that I've always admired - he never had crazy impressive stats or anything, but he did a good job for his team and was a valuable asset.
