Trip Iverson was not supposed to be here

Trip Iverson QB
Longshoremen

Trip Iverson had 181 yards. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched. Two of them found the end zone, in game 8 of his season. It counts the same as anybody else's.

The ledger, after eleven seasons: 21,056 yards, 298 scores. His best was 3,035. This is not that, yet.

Cattaraugus Falls, New York is where he is from. He is thirty-three. He talks constantly and means about half of it.

The club is 4-4. Zane Merritt II is in year four of it. The contract runs out in the spring.

One more thing: he reads on the team plane, actual books, which his teammates find hilarious.

This feature ran in the paper in week 9 of 2019. The rest of the season is there too.
