The Detroit Lions, who rarely get a chance to play on primetime have started a tradition of freewheeling on NBC's player introductions. It was on display again in the season opener.
When Stafford left Detroit, not only did he say goodbye to his Lions team, but he and his wife Kelly also said goodbye to their magnificent Bloomfield Hills home.
Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs and Iowa linebacker Jack Campbell both graded out as second-round picks. For some reason, the Lions reached for both of them in the first round.
Half of the league's top 10 rushing-yardage leaders last season were drafted in the second round or later. If you think that’s a pretty convincing argument against drafting a back in the first round, wait until you hear this.
