The Detroit Lions secured their first win of the preseason Friday night, which means it’s time for our first post-win award for unsung hero of the week. The series highlights one player whose performance, be it throughout the whole game or in a single moment, played an important role in the Lions’ success but may not have been the most memorable. While there are some games where only so many players shine, the objective is to give credit where it may have been forgotten.
Jake Rudock’s future (or lack thereof) with the Lions is, unfortunately, fairly certain by now.
