Julius Bratwurst TE
Longshoremen

D. Thorncroft found Julius Bratwurst 2 times. That is 26 together, and nobody in this league has anything better. They have played 3 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

2,782 yards over five seasons. Twenty-six touchdowns. Seventy-one games. His best was 741. This is not that, yet.

He turned twenty-five this year. He is from Harlow Bend, Louisiana. Ask anybody: he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. Nobody planned any of it. He was undrafted out of Bramble Hill, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum. He dug graves for a summer and says it was the best job he ever had, once.

Longshoremen, 1-3, and four weeks gone. Marquez Quigley is new.

Learned to cook properly during a rehab year and now does it for the offensive line.

This feature ran in the paper in week 4 of 1991. The rest of the season is there too.
