Balto NFL
18
3From about the time he could walk, Balto Seppala knew he wanted to play football. Growing up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio, he also soon figured out the team he wanted to play for, the Cleveland Browns. After a lot of convincing and training, he managed to get on his high school football team, which was one of the best in Northeast Ohio. However, between constant prejudice and harassment, as well as being constantly overlooked in favor of the teams star quarterback, Steele Kaasen, Balto barely if at all got playing time. He would have quit all together if it wasn't for the support of Jenna Fonda, who once was pursued relentlessly by Steele before she firmly declared she loved Balto. After his team won the state championship his senior year, Steele would he recruited by Ohio State, while Balto was hung out to dry, not even considered. Since no colleges were calling, Balto was ready to hang it up before the University of Toledo offered him a full ride scholarship. In Toledo, Balto played great, but the rest of the team around him was subpar. He graduates with a business degree and enters the draft despite knowing how bad the odds were. Steele, meanwhile, had a great career, though after a couple years of riding the bench and butting heads with Buckeyes coach Earle Bruce, Steele transferred to Miami after meeting Jimmy Johnson. Steele won a national championship with the Hurricanes in 1987 and just came short of another in 1988. Steele also declares for the draft and is considered the top quarterback prospect. Jimmy Johnson, who is now the coach of the Dallas Cowboys, tells Steele that he'll take him as the Cowboys first pick, which Steele gladly accepts. It's now the day of the draft, and while Balto watches from his and Jenna's Toledo apartment, Steele, Star, Kaltag, and Nikki all go to the draft in person because for the first time ever, players were invited to the actual draft room itself. You decide what happens with Balto, Steele, and the other characters.
