Otis Chetwood done for the year

Otis Chetwood QB
Grackles

Otis Chetwood will miss the rest of the season with an Achilles. The backup inherits the job for now.

Across nine seasons: 9,368 yards from scrimmage, 130 touchdowns, 128 games. His best was 1,785. This is not that, yet.

He turned thirty-one this year. He is from Chicago, Illinois. Around the building he says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. The route here: signed off a practice squad in November and never gave the job back.

Grackles are 5-6 through twelve weeks. Wendell Ankleton is in year five of it.

Chetwood learned to cook properly during a rehab year and now does it for the offensive line.

This feature ran in the paper in week 12 of 2015. The rest of the season is there too.
