DAVIE, Fla. (AP) – The persistence that helped Cameron Wake make the transition from mortgage broker and frustrated couch potato to AFC sack co-leader is evident every time he chases a quarterback.
For example, there was a critical play last week that left the Miami Dolphins linebacker on his back, buried under a 315-pound Green Bay tackle. So he reached out, snared quarterback Aaron Rodgers by the shoe and yanked him down.
The sack set up the Dolphins’ winning field goal in overtime. It was Wake’s third sack of the game and sixth this season – pretty good for someone who spent a year out of football after going undrafted in 2005.
When Wake describes his path to the NFL as unorthodox, he knows that’s an understatement.
