SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.: Few may have known what defensive tackle Donovan Munger was doing during the 2013 season as he walked laps around the field for two hours while his Ohio State teammates practiced.
Some were unaware that Munger had been diagnosed with blood clots in his lungs that June, threatening the life of the 6-foot-4, 300-pounder from Shaker Heights High School.
But Ohio State co-captain Joshua Perry understood the message those laps were trying to send.
“That was his way of getting work in and showing people he was invested. That was really awesome,” Perry said Wednesday.
