I have been doing this long enough to have written off men like R. Moore, who was undrafted out of Cutler Bible, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum. 153 yards is the league's way of saying nothing is settled. He keeps his father's work gloves in his locker, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. 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 16 of 1980. The rest of the season is in the paper.
