Xerxes Ridley finds a lot of inspiration from Richard Sherman, who has been a controversial cornerback throughout his entire career. From his infamous postgame interviews to his extremely active blog to even his unfathomable decision to sign with a division rival after leaving the Seahawks, Sherman's career has been more than just stats and trophies. Throughout his time in the NFL, Sherman has approached the public with an attitude that feels genuine, whether people like it or not. He does not pander or aim to please, but instead allows himself to get driven by emotion and take stands for things that he truly believes in. Ridley aims to be very similar as a player, albeit without putting his foot in his mouth every now and then. Ridley has already started blogging semi regularly in the same vein as Sherman. He comments on both football and non-football things and aims to give fans a deeper look into his life and the challenges that he faces. From the start, Sherman showed a deep loyalty to his teammates and worked to be a leader and with the Pythons and Butchers, Ridley looks to do the same. Even financially, Sherman aimed for contracts that were largely merit-based and Ridley continues to prefer deals with incentives included rather than fully guaranteed money that would breed complacency.

Tyron Brackenridge aims to model his career after Antoine Bethea, who is most known for his high tackle numbers and overall intelligence all over the football field.
Although Antoine Bethea is not the biggest or brightest name to model yourself after one must also consider the lengthy career and overall solid numbers that he has put hp during his NFL career. Just this past season Bethea had put up numbers such as 121 tackles and 3 sacks. Career numbers that include over 1200 tackles and 24 interceptions. These numbers are exactly where Tyron Brackenridge wishes to have as he aims to dominate the stat sheet with tackles and impactful plays. Personality wise Tyron Brackenridge wants to be known not for his trash talking but instead his overall politeness and courteous demeanor that is often associated to Canadians such as himself. That being said he does not want to be considered as a pushover as he will let his play do the talking much like any superstar. Another important aspect to Tyron's game to consider would be his leadership and the ability to lead the team. Although he may not be the most vocal leader on the field he is able to lead the team through his play and demonstrate some of the key qualities necessary to be successful. A comparison in this cause could include someone such as Devin McCourty. (230 word)
Action Jackson has based his game and personality around to and Ocho Cinco. As a loud and arrogant personality. He mostly takes after To as far as play and media dealings but has fun with his teammates like Cinco. The hard work and having teammates backs are all TO. If Jackson can play he will. No matter if he has a broke leg just healing (TO in the super bowl) or a bad back, if he can run he’s there.
Don’t test his loyalty either( TO crying” that’s my qb”) because Jackson will not desert them and will do whatever it takes to help the team win. They both had a hard upbringing but was able to overcome all the bad things to prosper in football. To and Cinco both was part of what brought football to being fun again and that’s what Jackson is doing again. Making the sport fun and interesting, from breaking into Bubba Thumpers presser to talking trash on game day. As TO had the desire to be the greatest while having fun so does Jackson. He may be loud and arrogant but his teammates go to war for him and he does the same.Thanks for reading and hopefully you enjoyed it. 206 words

Thorian Skarsgard has always thought of himself as a down to earth guy. The "lunch pail" guy that shows up to every game and does whatever he needs to do help his team win, whether it's flashy or not. Luckily for him, he's been blessed with the athletic ability to do both. When Thorian first switched over from linebacker to defensive tackle, he watched a lot of on-field videos of Ndamukong Suh. While he doesn't have a similar personality to Suh, they can both be a huge handful for an opposing offensive line. From the way they can stuff the run to the way that they both have that burst that puts them in the quarterback's face before they can even look downfield. Skarsgard paid an incredible amount of attention to his foot work, first of all. That is very important to be successful as a defensive lineman. You need to have your base set so that you're not just thrown out of the way by some big, dumb, angry guard or center. He also paid attention to Suh's hands and arms. There are a lot of moves that successful pass rushers can employ to get past the line and to the quarterback, such as the swim or club. Watching the film really helped him learn, and now he's a terror for all NSFL quarterbacks.

Nacho Varga models his game and attitude after stud Chargers' wide receiver Keenan Allen. He's not as fast as some of the burners out there like Desean Jackson, but his technical skill is what really separates him from other receivers. He can run every route in his route tree without tipping off the defensive back covering him until his move has been made. Like Keenan, Nacho is a threat over the middle of the field as well as vertically. He has the speed to get down the field quickly, but also isn't afraid to take a hit over the middle once in a while. Nacho has a long way to go before he's at the same level as someone like Keenan Allen. He's about as fast as he's going to be, but he's nowhere near as agile or strong as some of the top route runners in the NFL. He'll try to improve on those areas this year.
Off the field, Nacho keeps it low-key. He doesn't use social media as much as Keenan Allen, so there's some differences there. He would rather focus on his mental preparation for his upcoming opponents than get boggled down arguing with some internet troll. Nacho would prefer to be completely locked in to his on-field performance.

Octavius Godspeed starting running back for the Kansas City Coyotes has said in many interviews during his college days at UNC that he wanted to model his running style after multiple great running backs. " I have always wanted to be diverse." said Godspeed after the first game of the season, " Barry Sanders, Le'veon Bell, Adrian Peterson, Emitt Smith I mean the list could go on if I told you all the people I wanted to be like there are so many greats. If I'm honest though Ive always been a panthers fan so De'angelo Williams and Stephen Davis are probably the biggest 2. Mainly because I grew up watching them they were my favorite team so my favorite players by default. I remember playing madden as a kid and always drafting those 2 guys for my backfield power up the middle with Davis and swift and quick around the corners with De'angelo. I knew from watching them that if I had those 2 things and take them to another level I could be the best running back to ever lace up a pair of cleats. I knew I could always get stronger over time , but that also meant that the main challenge would come with trying to get faster. Those 2 guys definitely sparked my work ethic and drive to be the best that's what you see on the field with me.
When I created Barnes near the end of season 7 I initially intended for him to be more on the Brian Dawkins or Troy Polamalu tier of safety; a free safety that could cover, play in the box, and hit the offense hard as hell. Eventually, I learned that the sim engine we use is complete butt cheeks so I decided to switch my mentality and bring him closer to my favorite current player in the league, Jets strong safety Jamal Adams. Just like Adams has shown in his 2 years in the NFL, Barnes is able to line up anywhere on the field on defense such as up top in cover 1 or 2, as another linebacker, in the box, out wide man covering a wide receiver. Over the course of Bucky Barnes' career, he has proven himself to be exactly the type of player I intended when I switched my goals for him. He has hardly ever been near the top of the leaderboards for any individual stats but he has managed to be a presence in almost everything. He gets sacks out of the safety position, pulls in interceptions and pass defenses, racks up tackles, forces fumbles, and he has proven he can handle being a kick and punt returner if his team needs him to do that.
