Najee Delarosa Jr. RB
The Toboggans

Najee Delarosa Jr. returned from a back and put up 25.9 points.

4,474 yards over five seasons. Twenty-three touchdowns. Seventy-four games. He got to 1,702 once. Not this time. Two of those shirts belong to somebody else now.

He is twenty-eight, out of Memphis, Tennessee. He says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. The route here: signed off a practice squad in November and never gave the job back.

The Toboggans are 8-5 through fourteen weeks. Andre Lockett is in year four of it. There is one year left on the deal.

He has worn the same undershirt since his rookie year and had it repaired twice, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 14 of 2007. The rest of the season is there too.
