SAN JOSE - SaberCats WR/DB Rodney Wright (5-9, 181) earned the league's JLS Ironman of the Week honors for his efforts in a 60-57 victory over the Kansas City Command in Week 2.
"Rodney is one of the most explosive players in the AFL and is a threat whenever he gets the ball in his hands," said Owner/Head Coach Darren Arbet. "I'm excited that he's getting recognition for his game in Week 2 and hopefully it's just the beginning of a great season for him."
