The Toboggans
Curtis Lardner is from Ojo Caliente, New Mexico. He was undrafted out of Dunbar Normal, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum. He is now the best story on this team. Out of Dunbar Normal, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. It is a long way from Ojo Caliente, New Mexico, and he did not come the easy way.
The ledger, after five seasons: 9,270 yards, 103 scores. There was a 2,575-yard year in there. This is not it. He has done it in two buildings.
Twenty-eight years old. Around the building he is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful.
The Toboggans, 1-0, and one weeks gone. Andre Lockett is in year six of it.
One more thing: he reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious.
