The Grackles get a good look at Xavier Vance

Chip Nutbeam, hot take

Xavier Vance QB
Wolfhounds

Xavier Vance had 148 yards against the Grackles, who used to employ him. He is 36 now, which was most of the argument at the time. The fixture comes round again next year.

The ledger, after fifteen seasons: 23,489 yards, 350 scores. There was a 2,607-yard year in there. This is not it. Six clubs have had him.

He is from Memphis, Tennessee. Around the building he is the one the young players actually ask. He was the second man taken at his position out of Governors College.

Wolfhounds are 7-7 through fifteen weeks. Ibrahim Calloway is in year eight of it. There is one year left on the deal.

He keeps his father's work gloves in his locker, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 15 of 2005. The rest of the season is there too.
