The Fighting Ostriches
Xavier Danforth Jr. will miss the rest of the season with a neck. It is the second neck of his career. This was always the risk and everyone knew it.
He has 7,958 yards from scrimmage in eleven seasons, and 115 touchdowns. His best was 2,144. This is not that, yet. For two clubs.
Thirty-two, and Ashfork, Arizona before that. He keeps his own counsel and his own hours. The route here: cut twice before his twenty-fourth birthday.
The club is 2-1. Tomas Vinatieri is in year six of it. There is one year left on the deal.
One more thing: he is the last man off the field, every week, without exception.
