I have to sign this longish disclaimer to add any fictional players. Including not naming them after current players and acknowledging that once entered they can never be deleted (although they can be hidden). So I have to be sure I want to add someone to the DFFL player universe forever.
Which means I need to work on a back story for Horst.
Horst Plotz' parents fled East Germany shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Somehow the US govt managed to 'lose' the extradition papers for Horst's father Gerhard, but Horst paid the price, having to be pulled from a promising career in the East German under-4 soccer program. Horst traveled the country as his parents worked a series of odd jobs under assumed names.
Kicking for an 8-man football team for the North Zulch (TX) Bulldogs, Horst was only lightly recruited. He started all four years at Macalester College as both kicker and punter, and still holds the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) records for number of field goals (86), longest field goal (a wind-assisted 67 yards), and most fake punt attempts without a completion (13).
Horst was a journeyman in the Canadian Football League for a couple years. After being cut in early 2010, he attempted to pass as 'Horstina Plotzonova' and started three games for the San Antonio Regulators of the Independent Women's Football League before being recognized by an ex-girlfriend from his days in North Zulch.
Horst found work in an underground midget-tossing club in the Washington DC area, where he met Redskins Offensive Coordinator Kyle Shanahan. Shanahan recognized him from watching tape of Plotz several years earlier and invited him to try out for the team to replace Billy Cundiff. Plotz makes his first NFL start at home against the Vikings on Sunday.
