32 touchdowns and counting

Chip Nutbeam, hot take

Kellen Yarborough WR
Snowplows

K.H. Hensley threw 2 touchdowns to Kellen Yarborough, who has now caught 32 from him. They have played 10 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

Across eight seasons: 6,762 yards from scrimmage, thirty-two touchdowns, 126 games. His best was 1,136. This is not that, yet.

He is twenty-nine, out of Ojo Caliente, New Mexico. Ask anybody: he is the one the young players actually ask. Nobody planned any of it. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.

The club is 7-3. Mateo Morrow is new.

Yarborough eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it.

This feature ran in the paper in week 11 of 1996. The rest of the season is there too.
