- 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)
