Rocket Spiralman QB
Hellcats

Rocket Spiralman was drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take, and this club found him. 166 yards. Remember who was looking. He is 28, and he is unfailingly polite and completely unknowable. It counts the same as anybody else's.

The ledger, after four seasons: 6,176 yards, ninety-seven scores. There was a 1,850-yard year in there. This is not it. For two clubs.

He is from Cattaraugus Falls, New York.

Hellcats are 5-5 through eleven weeks. Hakeem Jones is in year six of it.

Spiralman calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss.

This feature ran in the paper in week 11 of 1983. The rest of the season is there too.
