Suffering Servant

Rudy is the suffering servant for the Notre Dame football team. His effort and heart earn him a place as a walk-on on the prep team. This means he is essentially a tackling dummy for the A-Team. Rudy will not allow the A-Team defense to ignore him. When his fellow players urge Rudy to tone it down and not be so aggressive (because he makes them look bad or he's going to get hurt) Rudy explains to them that if he doesn't insist on taking the hard knocks, then he's not doing his job to help them be their best. At the end of the movie, a caption states that Rudy was the first member of his family to go to college. His five younger brothers followed in his footsteps and went to college. Rudy's hard work opened the way - he was their pioneer. Heb 2:11-14. (Chris Benjamin)
