"Back when I was in Hamilton High School, man it was actually Basketball where I started my sports career, shifting to Football after a particularly bad game. See, I had been terrible at basketball due mostly to my tendency to foul other players with an extreme consistency, just slamming and tackling them to the ground to try and pop the ball out from under them. As it turns out, this is frowned upon in High School basktetball, while football players are given these big helmets so that type of thing is allowed. My coach was the one who recommended I join the Hamilton Pigs, and then after I refused and he kicked me off the team, I decided to take his advice. Coach Smithsonian was impressed by my competitive spirit, and put me in my first ever game as a Corner. I had zero interceptions that game but three forced fumbles and a recovery, and one player from the opposing team told my coach "Don't you ever put him on me again, I feared for my life he was foaming at the mouth to get the ball." And from then on, it's been history. I certainly have gotten a lot better at interceptions since then, working on speed pushed me a long way.
