Goal Line Blitz
Found this game and think it is pretty fun. You basically create a football player at a position(QB, RB, LB, K etc.) and build him up until he is a star. You do that by giving him stat points and playing well in games. Your player can be any position, but it costs more game points(called flex points) to create a player like a QB or RB because they are in higher demand. Any extra you get can be used to improve your player with special equipment or even to start a second player. Games are played every other day.
Once you create your player you will have to find you way onto a team. There used to be CPU owned teams that automatically gave you offers but right now all teams are owned by humans, so you might have to go on to the forums and ask for an offer. They are adding a ton more teams soon so it should be easy to find an offer very soon.
Until then I would go and work on training specific skills to make your player better. You can train on a variety of different intensity levels and until you are a starter on a team it is probably best to train on intense. It is smart to change what you are training pretty frequently because the more you train one stat the harder it gets to improve that stat more, so it is easier to get a well rounded player than one that dominates in one area.

Here is a list of stats and what they do:
Strength - Important for all lineman. Helps you break tackles and hit hard. Also helps you to throw, kick, and punt a little farther.
Speed - How fast you move. If you want to score, speed is recommended. Helps Defenders catch up for tackles too!
Vision - Did you see that hole open to the left? Can you see the goalposts? Vision helps ALL players know what is going on around them. It is very important for QBs "threading the needle" with passes. It's also sort of the "6th sense" of predicting what your opponent is going to do when blocking or trying to break blocks.
Kicking - How well you can kick the ball for field goals and point after attempts.
Throwing - If you want to hit your receivers in stride and not throw picks you'll want a high throwing value.
Punting - How well you can kick the ball to your oppopnents. If you want good field position you'll want a good punter.
Stamina - The better your stamina the more you'll get on the field.
Catching - You'll need this if you are planning on catching any touchdowns or snagging any picks.
Jumping - Need to layout for a pass? Want to gain an couple extra yards on defense? Plan on swatting that ball away? Jumping is crucial to all of those things. It is also important when making diving tackles.
Agility - How fast your player can adjust their movement. If you want to dodge a tackle or head past a blocker you'll want high agility. Important for any player who needs to turn quickly...Lineman as well as speedsters.
Confidence - Just throw 3 interceptions in a row? It doesn't matter if you have enough confidence to keep going. Helps your player's will bend but not break.
Blocking - If you plan running any kind of offense you're going to need plenty of good blockers. Blocking helps your player to keep his target occupied longer.
Carrying - Don't want to fumble the ball? You better practice your holding ability. The better your Carrying skill, the less you lose the ball.
Tackle - Tired of sloppy arm tackles? Well boost your tackling skill and wrap those ball carriers up! Tackling is a solid foundation for any defender.
