01 / Biography
Life and background
Childhood and upbringing
Jace grew up in a normal household in Tampa without an established athletic dynasty behind him.
Mac Walls was his childhood football idol, but Jace later rejected the idea that becoming a Buccaneer required him to imitate Mac’s personality or career shape.
Directly from high school
Jace never attended college. The Tampa Bay Rays selected him first overall directly from high school in 2060, beginning his professional baseball career before he ever played an NFL game.
Walking away from baseball
From 2060 through 2066, Jace went 115–35, won four World Series in five appearances, three Cy Young Awards and two MVPs. His 2064 peak included a 22–5 record, 261 strikeouts, a 2.62 ERA and 6.3 WAR.
Jace generally hates baseball. His final MLB years were “actual hell playing though my final years.” He gave back the money from a nine-year extension to leave, saying, “if I played another year, I would have gotten depression.” He was not injured, declining or forced out; he wanted to stop playing a sport he hated.
He dismissed suggestions of a baseball comeback. He does not miss pitching and has no desire to return.
Choosing the Buccaneers
Jace entered the NFL in 2067 and chose Tampa Bay because it was home and because Mac had made the Buccaneers the team of his childhood. He still refused to become “the next Mac Walls,” building a multi-position identity that had no real predecessor.
Stepping aside at quarterback
From 2075 through 2077, Jace voluntarily gave the primary quarterback job to a talented backup and shifted to wide receiver full-time. The move was both generous and personally interesting to him: he wanted to try the position and did not treat quarterback status as something he needed to protect.
Relationships and private life
Jace has no children. He is in a polyamorous relationship with Sophia Carter and Ivy Harper.
Sophia Carter
Sophia was warm, patient and grounded, as well as confident, direct and independent. She met Jace through Ivy.
Ivy Harper
Ivy was outgoing, playful and sarcastic, as well as confident, direct and independent. She and Jace knew each other growing up.
Retirement and current life
Jace retired after the 2081 season because he was bored and had no desire to chase a fifth championship. He withdrew from professional sports and centered his private life on Sophia and Ivy.
He remains alive at 54.
Additional biographical details
NFL championship chronology
Jace won four NFL championships: Super Bowls CV (2070), CIX (2074), CXIII (2078) and CXVI (2081). His 2072 postseason finish is not yet documented. The final score and MVP for CIX are not yet documented. His three seasons playing primarily wide receiver and his separate MLB career remain part of his career history.
02 / Career & Football Identity
The player and the résumé
Jace completed two elite professional careers and played quarterback, wide receiver, kicker and free safety at meaningful levels—sometimes within the same season. His versatility was sustained production, not ceremonial gadget usage.
His first NFL phase from 2067 through 2074 established him as a dominant dual-threat quarterback. In 2070 he threw for 5,127 yards and 48 touchdowns with a 130.4 rating while winning a championship.
After three seasons primarily at wide receiver, Jace returned to quarterback and won another Super Bowl in 2078. His 2081 final season ended with a 15–0 starting record and a fourth title while he contributed 3,618 passing yards, 1,112 rushing yards, 17 rushing touchdowns, three defensive interceptions, a sack and a perfect 10-for-10 on field goals. Jace McCoy went 15–0 in his starts. Backup Tate Colby started Tampa Bay’s other two games and went 1–1, giving the Buccaneers their final 16–1 record.
Football was his passion; he disliked baseball. His later NFL retirement was separate: he was bored and did not want to chase a fifth championship.
03 / Personality
The person behind the record
Jace was dry, patient and unusually comfortable building a career on his own terms. His natural ease could make elite preparation and effort look casual.
He genuinely worked. Suggestions that he did not try bothered him when they came from somebody he respected; criticism from people he considered unserious rolled off without response.
His willingness to surrender the quarterback job showed that status mattered less to him than curiosity, team fit and the chance to do something different.

05 / Legacy & Analysis
What the life and résumé mean
Jace is remembered as the defining two-sport, multi-position phenomenon in the record. No clean positional comparison captures the breadth of what he did.
His career challenges Cooper’s belief that greatness must look painful. Jace’s apparent effortlessness was not laziness; it was what extraordinary talent and preparation looked like without visible self-punishment.
Official NFL MVP seasons: 2067, 2072, 2073, 2078, 2080 and 2081.
Their earlier documented postseason series is Cooper 3–1; the dated matchups require reconciliation after the revised 2074 finish. Cooper repeatedly interprets Jace’s ease as wasted potential, even when Jace outproduces him statistically.
Jace won four Super Bowl championships, in 2070, 2074, 2078 and 2081. Three Super Bowl MVP awards remain credited to his other championship appearances; the 2074 MVP is not yet documented.
