Dominic Wexler WR
Anvils

Dominic Wexler, 40, reads Wrecked and is averaging 11.4 over the season. The decline curve has not found him yet. He reads Wrecked, which makes the mileage harder to explain, not easier.

He has 5,614 yards from scrimmage in eight seasons, and thirty-nine touchdowns. There was a 1,153-yard year in there. This is not it. For two clubs.

He is twenty-nine, out of Miami, Florida. He is the first man in the building most mornings. He was a first-round pick out of Fort Ridley, and everybody saw it coming.

Anvils, 7-4, and twelve weeks gone. Lorenzo Snodgrass is new. He is out of contract after this.

He keeps his father's work gloves in his locker, and always has.
