gridder
Tackles for touchdowns
A gridder is a football player, from the sport's playing field marked with a grid of yard lines.
The term appears mainly in sports journalism as a compact alternative to "football player": The star gridder signed a multi-year contract.
It sounds dated and is now uncommon outside headlines.
