VOLTAIC VULTURES

CURRENT CREST // OFFICIAL TEMPLATECertified athletes.
Drains the play dead. Leads the league in recovered fumbles by an insulting margin.
Scores in bunches when the weather turns. The league schedules around forecasts now.
Runs routes shaped like lightning. Defenders describe covering him as 'being outdoors.'

Calls the fastest tempo on tour. The huddle is a rumor.
The record, as kept.
Founded by line workers who strung the ridge cables. Their first trophy was a confiscated storm battery.
Won the division on a last-play diving recovery — the Core was still sparking when he crossed.
A dry season off the ridge. The storms are coming back. So are they.
Every mark the franchise has flown.
