Dez Cruikshank, team beat

Nitro Ironside RB
Millwrights

They got Nitro Ironside back. He looked like he never left — 23.4 points.

4,221 yards over four seasons. Twenty-two touchdowns. Sixty-two games. He has never had a year like it. For two clubs.

He turned twenty-seven this year. He is from Two Rivers, Michigan. He is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. Nobody planned any of it. He was a basketball player until he was twenty, and it still shows.

Millwrights are 3-6 through ten weeks. Bing Boyce is in year three of it.
