Nikolai Kowalczyk IV QB
Marauders

I have been doing this long enough to have written off men like Nikolai Kowalczyk IV, who was converted from quarterback, which he was not good enough at. 173 yards is the league's way of saying nothing is settled. He is 36, and he has never been described as easy to coach. It counts the same as anybody else's.

Across fourteen seasons: 24,420 yards from scrimmage, 419 touchdowns, 241 games. He has never had a year like it. Five clubs have had him.

He is from Osaka, Japan.

The club is 5-0. Bryce Beale is in year nine of it. There is one year left on the deal.

Kowalczyk IV answers every question in exactly one sentence.

This feature ran in the paper in week 5 of 2023. The rest of the season is there too.
