Roughnecks without Quinton Metcalf again

Gridiron Wire, league desk

Quinton Metcalf WR
Roughnecks

Quinton Metcalf will miss 9 games with a broken hand. It is the second broken hand of his career.

He has 4,762 yards from scrimmage in five seasons, and nineteen touchdowns. There was a 1,344-yard year in there. This is not it. Two of those shirts belong to somebody else now.

He is twenty-six, out of Memphis, Tennessee. Ask anybody: he is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. He was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take. He drove a snowplow for the county, once.

Roughnecks are 0-3 through three weeks. Quinton Underhill is new.

Metcalf does the crossword in the locker room before he dresses.

This feature ran in the paper in week 3 of 1988. The rest of the season is there too.
