Julius Jugg is back, and immediately useful

Julius Jugg QB
Snowplows

Julius Jugg returned from an AC joint after 4 games and logged 324 yards. No visible limitation.

13,222 yards over eleven seasons. 218 touchdowns. 162 games. He got to 2,028 once. Not this time.

He turned thirty-two this year. He is from Muddy Creek, Kentucky. Around the building he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. He was converted from linebacker in his second professional season. He was three credits short of a nursing degree, once.

Snowplows, 5-11, and seventeen weeks gone. Wendell Nutbeam is new. He is out of contract after this.

Eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it.
