Slippery Boxwell had 186 yards. He was a basketball player until he was twenty, and it still shows. Out of Cutler Bible, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. It counts the same as anybody else's.

The ledger, after twelve seasons: 17,769 yards, 238 scores. There was a 2,884-yard year in there. This is not it. For four clubs.

Newark, New Jersey is where he is from. He is thirty-five. Ask anybody: he runs hot, and everybody has decided to live with it.

The club is 4-2. Tomas Vinatieri is in year four of it. There is one year left on the deal.

Boxwell keeps his father's work gloves in his locker.

This feature ran in the paper in week 6 of 2021. The rest of the season is there too.
