Malcolm Rodriguez, the lovable linebacker product from Oklahoma who grew from star high school quarterback to all-conference linebacker in college at Oklahoma State, made quite the impression this week in HBO’s first episode of this season’s “Hard Knocks” series, which is following the Detroit Lions in the lead-up to the 2022 football season.
Rodriguez, who was drafted by the Lions with the 188th overall selection, was tasked — as rookies are — with dancing in front of the entire team. And boy did he dance! Standing barefoot in front of the entire room, he threw out a blend of salsa and cha-cha moves that dazzled the room.
