Roughnecks without Keegan Fenwick III again

Keegan Fenwick III QB
Roughnecks

Roughnecks QB Keegan Fenwick III will miss the rest of the season with an ankle. He reads Wrecked on the card, which is exactly the bet everyone made.

Across thirteen seasons: 22,053 yards from scrimmage, 326 touchdowns, 187 games. He got to 2,675 once. Not this time. For four clubs.

He is thirty-three, out of Verdigris, Kansas. Ask anybody: he is the first man in the building most mornings. Nobody planned any of it. He was a track man who was talked into it by a coach who never let go.

Roughnecks are 1-0 through one weeks. Isaiah Ulmer is new. There is one year left on the deal.

One more thing: he is the last man off the field, every week, without exception.

This feature ran in the paper in week 1 of 1989. The rest of the season is there too.
