The long way round: Curtis Crenshaw goes for 184

Curtis Crenshaw QB
Turbines

Curtis Crenshaw had 184 yards. He was found at a regional combine by a scout whose flight had been cancelled. Out of Pitchfork A&M, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. It counts the same as anybody else's.

Across thirteen seasons: 11,470 yards from scrimmage, 167 touchdowns, 181 games. He has never had a year like it. He has done it in four buildings.

He is thirty-three, out of Chicago, Illinois. Ask anybody: he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it.

Turbines are 4-2 through seven weeks. Duke Gravelle is in year twenty-one of it. There is one year left on the deal.

He never takes his helmet off between series, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 7 of 2018. The rest of the season is there too.
