Jamarcus Iverson leads the league with 941 rushing yards. Second place has 742. Iverson is a rookie the Quarrymen pay $1.1 million, which is what a club pays when nobody else calls — nobody drafted him, not in any round, not anywhere.

The rate survives the volume: 161 carries, 5.8 yards each, eight touchdowns in eight games. This stopped being a small sample weeks ago.

Asked whether he keeps a list of the clubs that passed on him, he said, “No, sir. It’s all of them.”

The Quarrymen are idle this week. They are at the Gravekeepers in week ten.
