Copperheads
Mercy Odom had 172 yards. He was a late bloomer who did not start a game until he was a college senior. Two of them found the end zone, in game 11 of his season. It counts the same as anybody else's.
The ledger, after seven seasons: 1,057 yards, thirteen scores. This is the best of them. Two of those shirts belong to somebody else now.
He is thirty, out of Newark, New Jersey. Around the building he is the first man in the building most mornings.
The club is 10-6. Ezra Farrow is in year two of it.
Odom never takes his helmet off between series.
