J.P. Eastwick QB

J.P. Eastwick had 143 yards. He was a basketball player until he was twenty, and it still shows. Two of them found the end zone, in game 1 of his season. It counts the same as anybody else's.

7,921 yards over five seasons. 115 touchdowns. Eighty-four games. This is the best of them.

Chicago, Illinois is where he is from. He is twenty-six. He talks constantly and means about half of it.

The club is 1-0. Knuckles Yelverton is in year five of it.

One more thing: he will not step on the painted logo at midfield.

This feature ran in the paper in week 1 of 2007. The rest of the season is there too.
