Our relationship with professional athletes is always at a distance. But what if it wasn’t?
The Detroit Lions have a ton of charasmatic players throughout their locker room, and I’m sure on more than one occasion you’ve wondered (or dreamed) about hanging out with them outside of the realm of football. So for today’s Question of the Day, let’s explore that.
Which Lions player would you like to grab dinner with?
My answer: My first inclination is to cheat and say Dan Campbell, but since the question (that I wrote) explicitly says player, I’ll stick to a player.
There are a couple routes I could go with this. If I wanted to have dinner with someone who had awesome stories to tell, I’d probably go with rookie Skyler Gill-Howard (and his great origin story) or Ahmed Hassanein. We have all heard pieces of their origin stories. However, to hear their point of view through their eyes would be incredible. Plus, I’m sure they’d have even more stories to tell.
Or, I could simply just go with some excellent company. From my team experiences, guys like Colby Sorsdal, Sione Vaki, Derrick Barnes, Jack Fox, and Khalil Dorsey—among many others—are some of the nicest people in the locker room.
Finally, it would make sense to go with someone who would be extremely entertaining. If that’s the priority, I would likely go with someone like Kerby Joseph, Teddy Bridgewater, or Jameson Williams.
I’m a little more lowkey, so I think grabbing a beer and burger with a few of those people from the “nice” group would fit my vibes.
