Draymen without Ke'Andre Kearse again

Ke'Andre Kearse WR
Draymen

Ke'Andre Kearse will miss the rest of the season with a neck. The backup inherits the job for now.

The ledger, after seven seasons: 4,920 yards, thirty-nine scores. He got to 993 once. Not this time. He has done it in two buildings.

He is twenty-eight, out of Lagos, Nigeria. He runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. The route here: converted from quarterback, which he was not good enough at.

Draymen are 5-11 through seventeen weeks. Tiny Mothersbaugh is in year twelve of it.

Kearse has worn the same undershirt since his rookie year and had it repaired twice.

This feature ran in the paper in week 17 of 1989. The rest of the season is there too.
