Copperheads
Carter Mancini is hurt again, and this time it is an Achilles and the whole season. It is the second Achilles of his career. Draft accordingly.
Across ten seasons: 19,573 yards from scrimmage, 319 touchdowns, 172 games. He got to 2,468 once. Not this time. Two of those shirts belong to somebody else now.
Miami, Florida is where he is from. He is thirty-two. He is the first man in the building most mornings. The route here: a track man who was talked into it by a coach who never let go.
The club is 6-5. Ezra Farrow is in year two of it. The contract runs out in the spring.
One more thing: he carries a chess set on the road and beats everyone.
