Dredgers

R. Winthrop III threw 2 touchdowns to Curtis Quarles, who has now caught 57 from him. They have played 9 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

5,695 yards over seven seasons. Fifty-seven touchdowns. 100 games. His best was 996. This is not that, yet.

He is twenty-seven, out of Bellwether, Ohio. He is the first man in the building most mornings. The route here: the son of a man who played eleven years at the same position.

The club is 3-6. Xavier Lockett is in year seven of it.

He answers every question in exactly one sentence, and always has.
