Casey Ironside is back from the Achilles, and the athlete who returned is not the one who left. His durability grade has moved from Normal to Normal. He is 33.3. That is the worst age for this.

The ledger, after twelve seasons: 11,937 yards, ninety scores. There was a 2,252-yard year in there. This is not it.

He is from New Antwerp, Wisconsin. Ask anybody: he is the one the young players actually ask. The route here: drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.

The club is 7-10. Xavier Rollins is in year two of it. There is one year left on the deal.

One more thing: he does the crossword in the locker room before he dresses.

This feature ran in the paper in week 18 of 2015. The rest of the season is there too.
