1. These mf’ers love it here! I love seeing this. Sign these dudes long term, Bradley!

2. Detroit city had 19 natives playing in the NFL last week. Most of any city in 🇺🇸

3. Pretty cool, does anyone know his connection to the school? King has had alot of players go pro, the most prolific current nfl player being Sauce.

4. Anyone know what kind of glasses CJGJ wearing? I need them

5. I can’t express how much I like Jerry Jacobs. It’s one thing to grind your way to make the league as a UDFA but to have a serious injury and come back and not only make the team but be a difference maker. Love him for that alone, throw in the fact that he is the ultimate Detroit hype man. I hope he’s here for a very long time.

   The best way to pay respect to him is to day he reminds me of how I felt watching Kris Draper during the red wings run. He is talented enough for sure, but it’s that underdog, persevere through hard work attitude that endears them both to Detroit. On top of that the impact they make, it’s one thing to be part of a successful team, it’s another thing to be a determining factor in that success.

   Last year everyone says the turning point was us during AP. While I’m not saying that didn’t help, I feel the real reason why that appeared to be the turning point is because it coincided with the week we got Jerry Jacobs back

6. CJGJ is exactly what we needed for this team.

7. Love our new DB room. Also I hope Sauce Gardner hits free agency in a few years and comes back home to Detroit

8. That’s awesome man

9. Bro straight up Jerry and cj are Batman and robin
