The Achilles is the worst of its kind Zane Neely has had, and the timeline is the rest of the season. He reads Fragile on the card, which is exactly the bet everyone made.
Across three seasons: 2,123 yards from scrimmage, twenty-seven touchdowns, twenty-eight games. His best was 1,707. This is not that, yet.
He is twenty-five, out of Oakland, California. Around the building he keeps his own counsel and his own hours. Nobody planned any of it. He was the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position.
Timberjacks, 0-1, and one weeks gone. Zane Quillfeather is new.
One more thing: he has worn the same undershirt since his rookie year and had it repaired twice.
