Smelters
Jalen Mustachio, 40, reads Fragile and is averaging 9.5 over the season. The decline curve has not found him yet. He reads Fragile, which makes the mileage harder to explain, not easier.
The ledger, after eighteen seasons: 10,834 yards, 112 scores. His best was 1,282. This is not that, yet. He has done it in four buildings.
He is forty, out of Ashfork, Arizona. Around the building he is popular in a way that does not show up anywhere useful. The route here: a mid-round pick who was the fourth-best player on his own college team. He kept bees, once.
Smelters are 6-7 through fourteen weeks. Donte Massengale is new. There is one year left on the deal.
One more thing: he keeps his father's work gloves in his locker.
