Allen Park — A little more a year ago, John Cominsky's agent gave him a plain black T-shirt emblazoned with a message in white lettering. It reads, "One year of focus and hustle can change your life forever."
Cominsky has never lacked hustle. It's one of his defining characteristics. Still, when he slipped on the shirt, he felt different, empowered by those words. He embraced the motto in the weight room, on the practice field and in games. And on Wednesday, that added hustle paid off with a life-changing, two-year contract extension with the Detroit Lions, which will pay him north of $8 million.
