Emmett Speight Jr. WR
Grackles

An ankle at WR is not a small thing. the rest of the season is the optimistic read. He reads Fragile on the card, which is exactly the bet everyone made.

Across eight seasons: 7,507 yards from scrimmage, forty-seven touchdowns, 121 games. He got to 1,374 once. Not this time.

He turned twenty-nine this year. He is from Reykjavik, Iceland. He would rather be almost anywhere else on a Tuesday. He was a first-round pick out of Caldwell A&M, and everybody saw it coming.

Grackles are 4-10 through fifteen weeks. Knuckles Yelverton is in year seven of it.

He does the crossword in the locker room before he dresses, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 15 of 2009. The rest of the season is there too.
