Xavier Danforth Jr. QB
Anvils

Xavier Danforth Jr., formerly of the Smelters: 99 yards. He was asked about it and said it was just another game. He is 33 now, which was most of the argument at the time. The fixture comes round again next year.

He has 9,268 yards from scrimmage in twelve seasons, and 141 touchdowns. There was a 2,144-yard year in there. This is not it. Three clubs have had him.

He is from Ashfork, Arizona. Around the building he keeps his own counsel and his own hours. The route here: cut twice before his twenty-fourth birthday.

The club is 5-5. Virgil Ratliff is new. The contract runs out in the spring.

Is the last man off the field, every week, without exception.
