Slippery Boxwell was not supposed to be here

Chip Nutbeam, hot take

Slippery Boxwell QB
Turbines

Slippery Boxwell had 180 yards. He was a basketball player until he was twenty, and it still shows. He is 27, and he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it. It counts the same as anybody else's.

5,708 yards over four seasons. Eighty touchdowns. Sixty games. None of the others were this good. He has done it in two buildings.

He is from Newark, New Jersey.

Turbines, 4-5, and ten weeks gone. Duke Gravelle is in year sixteen of it.

Boxwell keeps his father's work gloves in his locker.
