This guy caught 12 of his team’s 18 touchdown passes in 2008. He was surrounded by a poo-poo platter of QBs. From the owner to the waterboy, in the immortal words of Ford Fairlane…this team bahlows dog. 6’5 and a 4.35 forty? With hands and discipline? Randy, your season TD record could be in jeopardy.
We would go into a diatribe about how bad the QB situation in Detroit is, but it doesn’t seem to matter with this MegaTron. The list of who he caught TD passes from this past season reads like a toilet bowl cleaner ingredient list; Daunte Culpeppr, Dan Orlov-brrrrrum-sky, and Jon Kitna. Five different QBs were under center for the Lions in ’08 (the above plus Drews Stanton and Henson).
They spent their first post-Matt Millen draft pick making Mathew Stafford the #1 pick of the 2008 NFL draft - a guy that is about as much of a lock as the story about Jamie Lee Curtis being a hermaphrodite. We just will never know if Michael Myers first boner was for a man or a woman (or neither?). Is Stafford sporting wood, hair-pie, or both? This guy could have Joey “piano man” Harrington written all over him, but the beautiful thing with Megatron is that it just doesn’t matter. He is a Mack-truck on a Lamborgini chassis, and he plays on a different level.
He is the best tested athlete ever to go thru the NFL Combine in Indy, and he is now showing that he has the work ethic and mindset to be one of the all-time greats. His numbers are already tracking like one:
