D. Checkdown Jr. and Ke'Andre Kearse do the only thing they do

Draymen

D. Checkdown Jr. threw 2 touchdowns to Ke'Andre Kearse, who has now caught 28 from him. They have played 7 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

He has 6,693 yards from scrimmage in nine seasons, and fifty-three touchdowns. He got to 1,033 once. Not this time. Two of those shirts belong to somebody else now.

Thirty, and Lagos, Nigeria before that. Around the building 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 4-3-1 through eight weeks. Sal Ami is new. There is one year left on the deal.

He has worn the same undershirt since his rookie year and had it repaired twice, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 8 of 1991. The rest of the season is there too.
