Newt Lindquist TE
Firebrands

R. Fields found Newt Lindquist 2 times. That is 34 together, and nobody in this league has anything better. They have played 8 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

2,182 yards over seven seasons. Thirty-four touchdowns. Sixty-seven games. This is the best of them.

He turned twenty-nine this year. He is from Hollow Rock, Tennessee. He has never been described as easy to coach. Nobody planned any of it. He was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take.

Firebrands are 11-2 through fourteen weeks. Barney Grit is new. The contract runs out in the spring.

Is the last man off the field, every week, without exception.
