The article gives Adam Rank's take on each team's unsung hero. In it, he lists for us Joey Hunt; saying he played on a fractured fibula since week 9. I know he's undersized and I don't ever see him being a true starting NFL center, but knowing he was playing through something like that and still performed adequately most of the time says alot about how much he really gives out there on every play (not that anyone doubted his heart or tenacity).

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: Joey Hunt, center. Everyone celebrated the return of Marshawn Lynch to the Seahawks, but some of the success of the running game in 2019 -- including the great campaign Chris Carson put together before being lost with a hip injury in Week 16 -- could be attributed to what Hunt was able to do up front. Hunt, working on a one-year deal, started eight games at center after taking over for Justin Britt, who was lost for the season with an ACL tear in Week 8. But what's more incredible is that Hunt suffered a fracture in his fibula in Week 9 and continued to play through it for the rest of the year.
