Timberjacks
Gideon Fontaine was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched, and this club found him. 155 yards. Remember who was looking. He never takes his helmet off between series, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. It counts the same as anybody else's.
He has 2,144 yards from scrimmage in three seasons, and twenty-two touchdowns. He has never had a year like it. He has done it in two buildings.
He turned twenty-three this year. He is from Auckland, New Zealand. Ask anybody: he is the first man in the building most mornings. In another life he worked the overnight shift at a grain elevator.
Timberjacks are 5-8 through fourteen weeks. Art Deco is in year two of it. There is one year left on the deal.
