Standing at 5'11 and weighing in at 227, Donald Clayton has the size to be an NFL Runningback. All through high school he was the standout RB in his area, and in college at Bowling Green, he set numerous records for the school. Donald has top RB skill in the draft, but his "cocky" attitude may cause him to fall to 2nd or 3rd round.In his childhood, Donald didn't have anything to do except play sports. His parents were always gone as his dad owned his own Advertising business and his mom was a cab driver. Both of his parents were very intelligent, his father has an IQ of 125 and his mother of 135. He never really got to spend much time with them unless he was playing around with his dad and his model railroads, or his mom and her model airplanes. Donald took up football in late middle school, as he noticed the football team was big and figured it'd get him a few friends at least. He caught on quick and was the starting RB for the Varsity team in his sophmore year all through senior year. He had a short setback in his senior year with a broken ankle. In his mind, it is the reason he didn't get the chance to go to a big school like USC or Texas. He was determined to show those schools he meant business, and that he did. In his sophmore year at Bowling Green, he got a chance to play against USC and ran all over them for 212 yards and 3 touchdowns. After the game he went up to Pete Carroll and said, "Sucks don't it? Getting beat by a guy you coulda had. Too bad for you." The very next year he got a chance to play against his favorite college football team growing up, the Texas Longhorns. He ran all over them as well with 243 yards and 4 touchdowns. He went up to Mack Brown after the game, and despite how much he wanted to tell Brown how much he liked Texas, "So sad Mr Brown. I coulda been doing that for you." came out.His cocky attitude got back to the pro scouts and he was advised to stay for his senior year, as his stock would fall because of his attitude. In his senior year, Donald won the Heisman Trophy in the closest race in history. Donald won the trophy over Reggie Bush. Donald had 1 more 2nd place vote than Reggie, all the others were exactly the same. When he went up to the stage to accept the trophy, Donald gave one of the shortest speeches ever, "Here I come MVP."

Draft DayComing out of the combine, Donald was feeling good with the effort he put forth in the Bears workout. Donald likes the Bears situation, as he looked up to Cedric Benson while he was at Texas.In the third round of the NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears select Donald Clayton, runningback out of Bowling Green.Donald : Who didn't see that one coming?
Nice so far. I'm definitely following. It's going to be interesting how the Bears situation plays out. Heh, nice cues on the way Donald told off Mack Brown and Pete Carroll. Very interesting to hear what all this character is going to say in post game conferences. I'm looking forward to it.

I play on All-Madden, nothing else. I have sliders implemented too that I made a while back. I shouldn't tear anyone up, if I do it's from a few long runs.
