Grant Pollard has 153 and a story

Chip Nutbeam, hot take

Grant Pollard RB
Prospectors

Grant Pollard was signed off a practice squad in November and never gave the job back and just put up 153 YARDS. This is the best thing that has happened all season. Out of Ozark Wesleyan, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. It counts the same as anybody else's.

Across four seasons: 4,127 yards from scrimmage, seventeen touchdowns, sixty-three games. This is the best of them.

Pinch, West Virginia is where he is from. He is twenty-five. Around the building he talks constantly and means about half of it. Before any of it he spent two summers on a crab boat.

Prospectors, 7-7, and fifteen weeks gone. Hoot Jessup is in year thirteen of it. There is one year left on the deal.

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

This feature ran in the paper in week 15 of 2025. The rest of the season is there too.
