ALLEN PARK -- Kasey Redfern fought four long years to make an NFL roster. Such is life as a backup specialist in the NFL. You have to be good, and you have to be lucky, or you're not going to stick.
Then both happened in Detroit. Sam Martin got hurt over the summer, which allowed him to handle the punting throughout the preseason. And he pounded the ball.
So he won a job, finally.
Now look at the photo above this post. This is what happened on his second snap of his first game in four years.
