Grackles without Nathaniel Passwater again

Nathaniel Passwater QB
Grackles

A meniscus at QB is not a small thing. 7 games is the optimistic read. It is the second meniscus of his career.

The ledger, after ten seasons: 12,051 yards, 182 scores. There was a 2,933-yard year in there. This is not it.

He is thirty-one, out of Ojo Caliente, New Mexico. Around the building he is the one the young players actually ask. He was a first-round pick out of Saint Ambrose, and everybody saw it coming.

Grackles, 6-3, and nine weeks gone. Simeon Pruitt is new. He is out of contract after this.

Keeps his father's work gloves in his locker.

This feature ran in the paper in week 9 of 1986. The rest of the season is there too.
