Mike Ross is a Lawyer by heart however, he never graduated from law school. See, Mike excelled in all his classes being far and away the best due to his photographic memory. He was ultimately so smart he got into Harvard, arguably the most prestigious law school. Thats when it went sideways. In order to make money he was convinced by his friend Trevor to sell test answers. Unfortunately, the person buying the answers was the Dean's daughter. Mike Ross was expelled immediately and the Dean swore he would never be able to get into any law school if it was that last thing he did. Fast forward and he's now a bike messenger. One day the same friend that convinced him to sell test answers convinced him to deliver weed to a client Trevor had. He reluctantly agreed but when he arrived he was tailed by the cops. He talked his way into a room with Harvey Specter, the most esteemed "Closer" (Lawyer) in the city. He was amazed by Mike's knowledge but wouldn't hire him because all their hires come from Harvard and Mike didn't even graduate from any law school. Eventually, Harvey would keep his secret and hire him because of his talent for the law.
A few years later he was tried in court for being a fraud and took a deal before the jury could make a decision. This sent him to prison for 2 years. When he got out he knew he could never go back to lawyering again so he put on a few pounds and walked on to a local college team. He had a knack for blocking and earned a starting position. He then would be drafted into the DSFL where he has yet to play a snap for the London Royals.
