My biggest real world role model is Danny Grithead because he showed me that you can do anything with enough grit and being the first one in and the last one out and outworking everyone else. By being a real gym rat. By just being scrappy. A lunch pail, blue collar type of worker. Work the hardest in the weight room. Study the film harder than the competition. Just work so much harder than all of the other lazy idiot morons you play with. By doing those things you can truly achieve anything. You don't need any physical talent or knowledge of the game whatsoever. You just have to want it more. You need to need it. And that's what Danny Grithead does. That guy has absolutely no talent. None. Everything he has, he got by outworking the competition and having a non-stop motor and just wanting it more. In fact, you can boil down the basic idea to this. All you need to do to receive the thing you want more than anything in the world is to want it more than anything in the world. Simply with that acting of wanting it the most, you will be handed it with absolutely no effort required. That's it. And that's Danny Grithead, and that's why he's such an inspiration.

I have been an NFL Fan for a very long time. Though I am a Jets fan now, I have always been fond of and followed the New Orleans Saints. Everything about the organization down to the color scheme is incredible. And who better to lead their team than Drew Brees. The man has been defying odds since his debut. Traded from the chargers in 2006, he began his prolific career as one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game. The highlight of his career being his Super Bowl win in 2010 against the great Peyton Manning. His heart and desire to win is apparent. There have been years where he carried the saints literally by himself. He has been getting weapons slowly over the past few years, and he is finally in a position where the saints have the capability to win it all. He is an incredible example of how to be professional on and off of the field. He's an amazing athlete and an incredible husband and father. He is a highly respected player for his undeniable skill and sportsmanship. He is coming to the end of his career, and I can say with confidence that his retirement will be an incredibly sad day for me and the Saints organization. I have enjoyed watching him play the game of football, and I look forward to all that he will continue to accomplish off the field in retirement!

Nacho's role models are mostly those he played with or against. He didn't grow up watching the league, as he didn't consider even playing in the league untill later in life.

His first role model was Adriana Falconi. As his first quarterback, Falconi taught him the ins and outs of the NSFL offense. Nacho took extensive notes on this and to this day still references them from time to time before s big game. As a young player coming into the league, Nacho also looked up to Jordan von Matt. At first he resented losing snaps to this old fart, but over time he came to realize how important it is to be able to learn from one of the best receivers in the league at the time. Jordan had some of the crispest routes Nacho had ever seen, and he made it his goal to be able to replicate those with time. Sadly, Jordan just up and left the league before he could fully be able to master the same routes, but Nacho has learned enough between that and his studying to get by for now at least.

It's key to have strong mentors in the NSFL. Nacho was lucky enough to have 1.5 of the greatest mentors the league has seen so far.

Dorfus growing up idolized Tom Brady as a Patriots fan. Tom Brady symbolized everything that Dorfus would want to be, and would never live up to. Through and through, Gom Brady was a winner. He was by far the best player in nfl history to ever play, and Dorfus admired that. Tom Brady had the mindset of always trying ti be better and Dorfus loved that about him. Every super bowl he won was not enough for Brady, he had to get more. Brady was always hungry and Dorfus wantedtoo be just like him when he would make it to the NFL, although Dorfus was never good enough for the NFL and had to settle to be ok with the NSFL.

Another person that Dorfus looked up to growing up was Gimmy Jarropolo. Gimmy embodied every trait that Tom Brady had, but was also a lot better. Every time that Gimmy stepped onto the field something magic happened during it. Gimmy won 3 ultiminis without even having to play a single snap in the game. If that isnt GOAT material than I do not know what would be. Gimmy was everything that Dorfus wanted to be, although Dorfus knew that he would never come close to accomplishing even half of what Gimmy would.
