castoff

I spent several days with his team at Nevada two years ago and came away amazed at the culture of a group of players outsiders would have considered castoffs.

That creates a tough task for Kansas City’s battered offensive line, which is littered with backups and castoffs.

People nurtured their starters as if they were particularly needy children, traded recipes for their castoff dough, and photographed the pillowy interiors and artfully slashed crusts like proud parents.

The underdog franchise, then only five years old, was led by a bowlegged castoff named Johnny Unitas at quarterback.
