Smelters
Ibrahim Waddle: 113 yards. He was found at a regional combine by a scout whose flight had been cancelled, which the record will now have to accommodate. Two of them found the end zone, in game 9 of his season. It counts the same as anybody else's.
1,054 yards over his first season. Twelve touchdowns. Seventeen games.
He is twenty-one, out of Detroit, Michigan. Around the building he is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful.
Smelters are 5-4 through ten weeks. Barney Grit is in year three of it.
One more thing: he has a rule about not reading anything written about him, which he breaks.
