Detroit Lions Rookie Malcolm Rodriguez Joins the Community of Indigenous NFL Players

The waiting game is over for rookie Malcolm Rodriguez (Cherokee).

Last spring, the former Oklahoma State University standout had to wait until the third day of the NFL draft to hear his name called by the Detroit Lions, who selected him with the 188th overall pick.

When the season kicked off last weekend, though, Rodriguez didn't have to wait very long to hear his name called as a starting linebacker in an NFL stadium.
