Nobody drafted this afternoon

Elmo Jeffries had 190 yards. He was undrafted out of Fitchett State, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum. Out of Fitchett State, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. It counts the same as anybody else's.

Across four seasons: 5,563 yards from scrimmage, seventy-eight touchdowns, sixty-six games. None of the others were this good.

He turned twenty-seven this year. He is from Two Rivers, Michigan. Around the building he talks constantly and means about half of it.

The club is 8-4. Herb Garden is new.

One more thing: he carries a chess set on the road and beats everyone.

This feature ran in the paper in week 13 of 2022. The rest of the season is there too.
