Dredgers
100 yards from a man who was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched. The scouting industry declines to comment. Two of them found the end zone, in game 8 of his season. It counts the same as anybody else's.
Across his first season: 336 yards from scrimmage, five touchdowns, ten games.
Auckland, New Zealand is where he is from. He is twenty-seven. Around the building he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable.
Dredgers, 11-5, and seventeen weeks gone. Xavier Lockett is new. He is out of contract after this.
One more thing: he has a rule about not reading anything written about him, which he breaks.
