39 years old, 15.5 a week

Ruth Fairbanks, features

Anton Petrossian QB
Ironmen

There is a version of this where Anton Petrossian retired two years ago. Instead he is 39 and averaging 15.5. He reads Durable, which is most of the explanation.

The ledger, after eighteen seasons: 31,352 yards, 530 scores. He got to 3,210 once. Not this time. Three clubs have had him.

He is from Tijuana, Mexico. Around the building he is the first man in the building most mornings. The route here: converted from quarterback, which he was not good enough at.

Ironmen are 5-7 through thirteen weeks. Rashad Kirkland is new. He is out of contract after this.

Petrossian has a rule about not reading anything written about him, which he breaks.

This feature ran in the paper in week 13 of 2020. The rest of the season is there too.
