Rush Moore is back, and immediately useful

Rush Moore RB
Millwrights

Rush Moore returned from a broken leg after 7 games and logged 118 yards. No visible limitation.

Across five seasons: 3,830 yards from scrimmage, twenty-nine touchdowns, seventy-three games. None of the others were this good.

He turned twenty-nine this year. He is from Miami, Florida. Ask anybody: he says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. The route here: undrafted out of Cutler Bible, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum.

Millwrights, 5-10, and sixteen weeks gone. Yusuf Zeller is new. He is out of contract after this.

One more thing: he keeps his father's work gloves in his locker.

This feature ran in the paper in week 16 of 1981. The rest of the season is there too.
