Roughnecks
Nolan Neely is 34 and averaging 15.0 a week. He reads Normal, which makes the mileage harder to explain, not easier.
Across his first season: 1,878 yards from scrimmage, ten touchdowns, eighteen games.
He turned thirty-four this year. He is from Bellwether, Ohio. Ask anybody: he is the first man in the building most mornings. Nobody planned any of it. He was found at a regional combine by a scout whose flight had been cancelled.
The club is 3-3. Jarrett Yarborough is new. The contract runs out in the spring.
Neely has worn the same undershirt since his rookie year and had it repaired twice.
