Who Powered Through: Season Wrap-Up Edition

by Sean Yuille on Jan 7, 2011 11:08 PM EST in Who Powered Through

Injuries were a big part of the Lions' 2010 season, but not all of them were of the season-ending variety. A number of guys on the team played through their injuries and only now are going to get surgery or the rest they need in order to be 100 percent healthy. For the last Who Powered Through post of season, I figured now would be a good time to give a pat on the back to the following players:

RB Jahvid Best (toes)
OG Stephen Peterman (foot)
DT Ndamukong Suh (shoulder)
LB DeAndre Levy (groin)
S Louis Delmas (groin)

These guys fit the definition of powering through, as they all were banged up throughout the season. All NFL players are going to have bumps and bruises by the end of the year, but these five players are either going to be off their feet for eight weeks (Best), having surgery (Suh, Levy and Delmas) or potentially having surgery in the coming weeks (Peterman). They deserve recognition for overcoming their injuries enough to keep playing throughout the season despite obviously needing time off to heal. Kudos to you, gentlemen.

Best and Delmas get my vote.

Everyone will be picking the Lions to make the playoffs in 2011. Given the Lions’ luck of late, it likely means that a lockout will cancel the entire season. - ProFootballTalk.com

All of them deserve recognition.

what about shaun hill

Levy played his heart out even though I feel that Levy is more a strongside LB than a mike lb. He even had a high ankle sprain which was more serious than his groin injury. What about shaun hill buddy. You left the most important lion out of the equation. You would rather have petterman on that list than hill?Have you ever plaid football sean? Groin injury aint nothin bro and turf toe lol!

pat on the back

Hill had surgery during the season rehab ed and made it back in time to save our season somewhat! He"s the only player worthy of recognition besides Levy. This site is hilarious sometimes +1

They all did a remarkable job

That’s why they get paid the big bucks.

RIP Robyn Bailey 1961 - 2010. I love you mum.

I can't believe Shaun Hill and Megatron aren't in that list.

Megatron came up huge game after game, and was obviously hurt and still playing at a Pro Bowl level… Shaun Hill, like him or not- lead the team to some wins and played with a broken forearm for much of it.

Fire CJ and trade Schwartz lol
