Terrell Salter WR
Draymen

W. McKinley found Terrell Salter 3 times. That is 20 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.

Across two seasons: 1,758 yards from scrimmage, twenty touchdowns, forty games. He has never had a year like it.

He is thirty-one, out of Osaka, Japan. Ask anybody: he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. He was a basketball player until he was twenty, and it still shows.

Draymen are 5-3 through eight weeks. Tiny Mothersbaugh is new. He is out of contract after this.

Salter refuses to be taped by anybody but the same assistant trainer.

This feature ran in the paper in week 8 of 1978. The rest of the season is there too.
