Keegan Fenwick III was not supposed to be here

Keegan Fenwick III QB
Roughnecks

Keegan Fenwick III had 136 yards. He was a track man who was talked into it by a coach who never let go. He is 33, and he is the first man in the building most mornings. It counts the same as anybody else's.

Across thirteen seasons: 22,053 yards from scrimmage, 326 touchdowns, 187 games. There was a 2,675-yard year in there. This is not it. Four clubs have had him.

He is from Verdigris, Kansas.

Roughnecks, 6-4, and eleven weeks gone. Isaiah Ulmer is new. The contract runs out in the spring.

He is the last man off the field, every week, without exception, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 11 of 1989. The rest of the season is there too.
