There is a version of C. Thunderpaw's life where none of this happens. He was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take. Instead: 173 yards. Two of them found the end zone, in game 10 of his season. It is a long way from Phoenix, Arizona, and he did not come the easy way.

This story ran on the wire in week 16 of 2007. The rest of the season is in the paper.
