Sasquatch Ellery was not supposed to be here

Sasquatch Ellery RB
Vulcans

Sasquatch Ellery had 140 yards. He was signed off a practice squad in November and never gave the job back. He is 26, and he would rather be almost anywhere else on a Tuesday. It counts the same as anybody else's.

The ledger, after three seasons: 3,966 yards, thirty-seven scores. He has never had a year like it.

He is from Ashfork, Arizona.

The club is 8-4. Herb Garden is in year six of it. The contract runs out in the spring.

Ellery reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious.

This feature ran in the paper in week 13 of 1997. The rest of the season is there too.
