Corey Nakamura II RB
The Toboggans

Corey Nakamura II returned from a foot and put up 30.9 points.

Across three seasons: 2,269 yards from scrimmage, sixteen touchdowns, thirty-six games. There was a 1,095-yard year in there. This is not it. He has done it in two buildings.

Twenty-six, and Phoenix, Arizona before that. Ask anybody: he is the one the young players actually ask. Nobody planned any of it. He was converted from linebacker in his second professional season.

The club is 6-8. Andre Lockett is in year seven of it. The contract runs out in the spring.

He eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 15 of 2010. The rest of the season is there too.
