112 yards, and a road nobody would recommend

Pinky Crenshaw II RB
Turbines

Pinky Crenshaw II had 112 yards. He was a track man who was talked into it by a coach who never let go. He collects vinyl and is insufferable about it, which his teammates have stopped remarking on. It counts the same as anybody else's.

3,024 yards over three seasons. Twenty-four touchdowns. Fifty-two games. This is the best of them. For two clubs.

Chicago, Illinois is where he is from. He is twenty-six. Around the building he has never been described as easy to coach.

The club is 2-3. Duke Gravelle is in year twenty-two of it. There is one year left on the deal.

This feature ran in the paper in week 5 of 2019. The rest of the season is there too.
