Marquez Fumbleton lost for the year to an MCL

Marquez Fumbleton is hurt again, and this time it is an MCL and the whole season. That is his season.

He has 7,658 yards from scrimmage in six seasons, and 112 touchdowns. There was a 2,086-yard year in there. This is not it. For two clubs.

He turned twenty-six this year. He is from Bellwether, Ohio. Around the building he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. Nobody planned any of it. He was the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position.

Vulcans, 4-6, and eleven weeks gone. Herb Garden is in year eleven of it.

He reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 11 of 2002. The rest of the season is there too.
