I have been doing this long enough to have written off men like J.P. Eastwick, who was a basketball player until he was twenty, and it still shows. 136 yards is the league's way of saying nothing is settled. Two of them found the end zone, in game 11 of his season. The ones who arrive like this tend to know what it cost. That is usually worth something in December.

This story ran on the wire in week 12 of 2012. The rest of the season is in the paper.
