The broken fibula took something from Grant Yarborough

Grant Yarborough is back from the broken fibula but has lost a step, and his durability grade has fallen to Fragile. He lost 7.9 points of ability and will not get them back. Somebody will still draft him on name recognition.

He turned twenty-eight this year. He is from Grange, Illinois. He has never been described as easy to coach. Nobody planned any of it. He was cut twice before his twenty-fourth birthday.

The Toboggans, 6-11, and eighteen weeks gone. Isaiah Eakins is new. The contract runs out in the spring.

Learned to cook properly during a rehab year and now does it for the offensive line.

This feature ran in the paper in week 18 of 2000. The rest of the season is there too.
