L. Vickery has 161 and a story

Ruth Fairbanks, features

Lorenzo Vickery WR
Bighorns

There is a version of L. Vickery's life where none of this happens. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched. Instead: 161 yards. He calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. It is a long way from Tijuana, Mexico, and he did not come the easy way.

This story ran on the wire in week 6 of 1988. The rest of the season is in the paper.
