Yancy Ellington is back, and immediately useful

Yancy Ellington QB
Dredgers

Yancy Ellington returned from a groin and put up 32.4 points.

The ledger, after four seasons: 7,889 yards, 112 scores. None of the others were this good.

Pinch, West Virginia is where he is from. He is twenty-six. Around the building he has never been described as easy to coach. Nobody planned any of it. He was undrafted out of Cutler Bible, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum.

Dredgers are 6-4 through eleven weeks. Nikolai Renfrow is in year three of it. The contract runs out in the spring.

Ellington collects vinyl and is insufferable about it.

This feature ran in the paper in week 11 of 2011. The rest of the season is there too.
