Kareem Gravelle RB
Turbines

Kareem Gravelle missed 3 games with a groin. He came back and put up 24.7 points.

The ledger, after his first season: 1,884 yards, twelve scores.

Auckland, New Zealand is where he is from. He is twenty-three. He talks constantly and means about half of it. He was converted from quarterback, which he was not good enough at. Before any of it he worked nights at a rendering plant to pay for a truck he never bought.

Turbines are 6-9 through sixteen weeks. Duke Gravelle is in year five of it.

He refuses to be taped by anybody but the same assistant trainer, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 16 of 2002. The rest of the season is there too.
