| Article: | Schlesinger's courage rewarded DETROIT - Anyone who has followed Cory Schlesinger's football career knows the Detroit Lions fullback possesses a certain degree of courage.
It takes valor to make a block, carry the ball or catch a pass against defenses in the National Football League.
Imagine doing all of that with a cracked vertebrae, a separated collarbone or a pinched nerve in the neck.
That's all the injuries Schlesinger, the former Columbus High and Nebraska standout, had to endure during his eighth season last fall with the Lions, who struggled to a 3-13 record. |
