Rigoberto Sanchez became better known for not playing than for being a full-time player for the Indianapolis Colts.
Probably more widely recognized for the job he did than his name, the guy who handled punting and kickoff duties was sidelined and blindsided by a cancer diagnosis that many thought would shelve him for the rest of the 2020 season.
There was both openness and mystery about the ailment that knocked Sanchez out of the lineup, then rejoicing and admiration when after having a cancerous tumor in an unrevealed spot in his body removed, he quickly returned to active duty.
