Pride of Detroit
Lions’ linebacker Grant Stuard noticed a difference in Allen Park from the jump. Kory Woods of MLive has more on Stuard’s early experiences in Detroit.
New Detroit Lions’ linebacker Grant Stuard has been around the block before in the NFL. The fifth-year linebacker spent his rookie season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the last three with the Indianapolis Colts. Two well-run, respectable franchises. However, having spent a little time in the Lions’ offseason program, Stuard has quickly noticed that things are a bit different over in Allen Park.
“It’s been something. It’s been an adjustment period, you know what I’m saying?” Stuard told Kory Woods of MLive following Week 1 of OTAs in Allen Park. “And I’m studying my butt off just because the standard is the standard here. So (I’m) just trying to really match that level of intensity and expectation.”
For someone like Stuard, who is known for how hard he plays the game, to comment on the intensity during practice—you know Lions’ coach Dan Campbell really has things dialed in.
