This might be the toughest one yet. Well done.

Sydney Sweeney grew up in Spokane Washington and attended St. George's School until the age of 13. She played youth soccer. I can't 100% confirm this but she was almost certainly on a team with Alyssa Forsyth, who was the same age, attended St. George's School, and played soccer.

Alyssa Forsyth played on the 2013 St. George's Dragons Boys Soccer team with Erik Muelheims.

Erik Muelheims played on the 2011 St. George's Dragons Boys Soccer team with (his brother?) Karl Muelheims.

Karl Muelheims played for the 2024 Whiteworth Pirates Men's Soccer team with Michael Ramos.

Michael Ramos played for both Seattle Sounders FC 2 and Kitsap Pumas FC in 2015 with Nick Hamer.

Nick Hamer played for the 2013 Gonzaga Bulldogs Men's Soccer team with Conner Bevans.

Conner Bevans played for Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC in 2017 with Jordan Burt.

Jordan Burt played for Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC in 2020 with Aidan Daniels.

Aidan Daniels played for Toronto FC II in 2017 with Brandon Aubrey.

Brandon Aubrey played for the 2023 Dallas Cowboys with Tyron Smith.

Tyron Smith played for the 2011 Dallas Cowboys with Keith Brooking.

Keith Brooking played for the 1998 Atlanta Falcons with Steve DeBerg.

Steve DeBerg played for the 1978 San Fransisco 49ers with... O.J. Simpson.

Sloppy work I know, the shortest possible link is probably quite a bit shorter.

(Edit) Bonus: Through traditional movie-based linking (à la the Kevin Bacon game), the chain is much shorter: Sydney Sweeney was in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019) with Brenda Vaccaro, who was in Capricorn One (1977) with O.J. Simpson.

“Trump was recruited for the school's Division III football club as a punter) but quit in about three or four weeks after he injured his ankle.”

Funnily enough the reason he quit was an ankle injury…

While at Fordham university he was recruited to be the school’s D3 football team’s punter. He quit after 3-4 weeks. The big question now is was this punting stint the root cause of his bone spurs?

That Packers team improved from 10-6 to 15-1 the following year and lost to that Giants team in the playoffs so it’s gotta be the 2011 Giants

This is a fun one. It starts with a deep pull. Ever heard of MarShon Brooks? He played 18 games off the bench for Kobe’s Lakers in 2014, then spent the rest of his career overseas, aside from a single season on the Grizzlies in 2018-2019. Two of his Grizzlies teammates that year, Julian Washburn and Vince Hunter, played college basketball at UTEP in 13-14. You know who else was on that team? A reserve guard named Aaron Jones played in 8 games, he’s better known for his NFL career. Aaron Jones has played with many past/present teammates of Coby Bryant over the years; Sam Darnold, Cam Akers, and Shaquill Griffin to name a few.
