Everyone is wondering what the Lions will do
It seems like everyone has a guess at what the Detroit Lions are going to do with their #1 pick in the NFL Draft. One of the most hilarious things I’ve read is this funny column about Michael Crabtree preparing himself to go to Detroit.
Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.
Matthew Stafford, the strong armed QB from Georgia, appears to be the frontrunner (if there is one). If his statement on the Dan Patrick show didn’t win over Lions fans then nothing will. This article has the whole story but here’s the quote:
“I think in the end that’s a heck of an honor, and that’s something I’d definitely love to be able to associate that with my name and maybe turn that franchise around,” he said.
“I’d love to be a part of something like that. I’m a competitive guy and love a challenge, and that would definitely be a fun situation for me.”
To sum up his comments Stafford said that he’d love the challenge of turning around a franchise that just went 0-16. Most people would see that as a bad thing, you know, going to a franchise that just went winless. Not Stafford. It’s just a chance to see what he’s really got. I love it personally. I broke down Stafford’s NFL readiness a few days ago.
Remember Kevin Ferguson here on Fansided covers the Lions year around on his SideLion Report site. I will have more on the Lions as well as the other 31 NFL teams soon, along with a new NFL Mock Draft.
Stay tuned.
The Lions should take ANYONE who wants to join their team. I really hope Stafford can turn around that franchise.
