Earlier this week, Detroit Lions defensive lineman Michael Brockers appeared as a guest on the Rich Eisen Show and raved about head coach Dan Campbell.
That offseason, it was evident that the Lions were in rebuild mode. Following the hires of Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes, the Lions traded away quarterback Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams for Jared Goff and a handful of draft picks. Brockers was acquired by the Lions via another trade with the Rams not long after that.
“I was a part of like the whole new revamp – you know the team – so when he got hired I was soon to be hired after that.”
