Godwin Igwebuike is trying to make a splash as a running back in the NFL. He made a case for himself on Saturday night, scoring on a 9-yard touchdown run.

Igwebuike left Northwestern as a defensive back following the 2017 season. He was not selected in the 2018 NFL Draft but was signed as a free agent by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The former Wildcat has bounced around as a safety in the league but was willing to try out a new position in an attempt to make a roster.

Saturday night, Igwebuike took 7 carries for 21 yards and a touchdown. He also caught 1 pass for 4 yards in Detroit’s 26-20 loss to Pittsburgh.

Here’s Igwebuike touchdown run:

Since his career at Northwestern, Igwebuike has spent time with Tampa Bay, San Francisco, Philadelphia and the New York Jets. This is his first preseason with the Lions.

Even though he’s spent most of his career as a defensive back, Igwebuike did flash some potential at the running back spot. We’ll see if he gets more opportunities in Detroit’s final preseason game against Indianapolis on Friday.
