Zayvion Delgado WR
Smelters

W. Gaskin threw 2 touchdowns to Zayvion Delgado, who has now caught 22 from him. They have played 12 games together this season alone. One of them will leave first. They always do.

He has 2,878 yards from scrimmage in three seasons, and twenty-two touchdowns. He has never had a year like it.

Reykjavik, Iceland is where he is from. He is twenty-three. He is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. Nobody planned any of it. He was a late bloomer who did not start a game until he was a college senior.

The club is 9-3. Nolan Danforth is in year two of it.

Delgado refuses to be taped by anybody but the same assistant trainer.

This feature ran in the paper in week 13 of 1979. The rest of the season is there too.
