Nathaniel Lattimore IV has 158 and a story

Chip Nutbeam, hot take

Nathaniel Lattimore IV QB
Wolfhounds

Nathaniel Lattimore IV had 158 yards. He was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take. Two of them found the end zone, in game 5 of his season. It counts the same as anybody else's.

He has 12,958 yards from scrimmage in seven seasons, and 208 touchdowns. His best was 2,282. This is not that, yet.

Memphis, Tennessee is where he is from. He is twenty-seven. Around the building he would rather be almost anywhere else on a Tuesday.

Wolfhounds are 2-3 through five weeks. Ibrahim Calloway is in year three of it.

One more thing: he is the last man off the field, every week, without exception.

This feature ran in the paper in week 5 of 2000. The rest of the season is there too.
