I’ve got two nominees:
—Al Lazard. Just like our QB, he was humiliated on draft day though not quite nationally. Contacted by a number of teams after finishing at Iowa State, he expected to be called and hosted his friends at a Buffalo Wild Wings. Didn’t happen and he said he was forced on the spot to re-evaluate his life. Ends up signing as UFDA with Jacksonville, getting cut lingering on practice squad till Green Bay grabs him. Gets cut again, back to practice squad till someone wises up. I see a surprise two TD game I. His playoff future.
—Ryan Grant. Nah, just kidding. He’ll be in street clothes
—Tyler Ervin. Love the way MLF has been working him into the offense and he almost got a TD as a receiver last week. I see him with a kick return TD in an upcoming playoff game.
bonus hero: Josh Jackson with a special teams fumble recovery at a key point in an upcoming playoff game.
