One of the most miraculous stories this offseason has been the return of Detroit Lions defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike. After struggling with a back injury the first two years of his NFL career, he underwent surgery last October which coach Dan Campbell referred to as a “last resort.” Many, including myself, had pretty much written off the rest of his football career.
But not only did Onwuzurike find his way onto the field for the start of training camp, but he flashed in the preseason and made the team’s 53-man roster. Now, just two days away from making what could accurately be defined as his first “healthy” NFL start in his career, Onwuzurike is ready to share his journey.
