Malcolm Rodriguez officially made the Detroit Lions’ 53-man roster on Tuesday. The former Cowboy has been a mainstay of HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ all preseason, which can be a bad omen sometimes — they often feature players on the roster bubble — but that was clearly not the case with “Rodrigo.”
Instead, Rodriguez was again a feature point for all the right reasons in the latest episode that aired Tuesday night (for the third time!), the same day NFL teams had to cut rosters down to 53 players. Rodriguez made the active roster and as a cherry on top, he again was the subject of praise from his coaches for strong play in practice and during preseason action.
