Julius Vance is 39 and averaging 12.6 a week. He reads Normal, which makes the mileage harder to explain, not easier.
He has 21,258 yards from scrimmage in fifteen seasons, and 306 touchdowns. He got to 2,286 once. Not this time. Six clubs have had him.
He turned thirty-nine this year. He is from Bitter Lake, Idaho. Around the building he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. Nobody planned any of it. He was signed off a practice squad in November and never gave the job back.
The club is 5-9. Hutch Ellington is in year six of it. He is out of contract after this.
Vance learned to cook properly during a rehab year and now does it for the offensive line.
