The long way round: P. Fairweather III goes for 104

Prescott Fairweather III QB
The Custodians

There is a version of P. Fairweather III's life where none of this happens. He was undrafted out of Coldwater Community, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum. Instead: 104 yards. He learned to cook properly during a rehab year and now does it for the offensive line, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. It is a long way from Cinderbrook, Pennsylvania, and he did not come the easy way.
