1 on 1 with DT DJ Reader | Detroit Lions

[@billsciamanna7580]

Not surprised that CJ is gone and DJ is here. This guy is a stud and is a humble and great Team Player that fits the mold of what this team is.

[@-seemsee-]

CJ always felt out of place to me

[@Vxnish_Viper]

@@-seemsee- he talked to much trash to be a lion, he talked so much shit when he didnt even play just not a good player for us, dj seems chill

[@dougmichaelroossien9115]

After Iffy started getting the attention. During some one-on-one reporter time Iffy was having. Guess who couldn't even let the man has his own moment. Totally classless...trying to steal the attention back. Early in the years, ...he bragged. "they brought me in to lead and inspire everyone ... to a championship" (something to that effect). NO, they didn't!! Like Reader, they brought you in to be a part of it.

[@fireestyle]

@@-seemsee-think you sometimes need that at CB. i get it rubbed people the wrong way but sometimes you need those players in the locker room

[@Unfinished-Business24]

What a great guy seems so down to earth. He's going to be a great addition

[@kennytran5020]

It’s always like that with the most violent ones, they’re the nicest people off the field😂😂😂

[@Cole-mb8dn]

I said the same thing

[@rickrinke1443]

What an awesome individual!!!!

[@allyloogs]

Dj pretty cool too.

[@MadeOnTape]

my fellow Detroit fans, hear me out: Does the 2023 Lions remind you of the 95-96 Red Wings? They makin amazing offseason moves...I know it's too early to get too riled up but we know it's a special team under great leadership

[@mattpeckham667]

Its a good point to make : Lions are finally a good organization top to bottom just like the Red Wings of that era.

[@RedWing88]

The Red Wings made awesome trades from 1995-2010. That 2001/02 hall of fame team they put together to win a Cup. We got Hull, Hasek to go along with a ton of talent. Datsyuk was a rookie that year too lol. The lions are on their way to a championship. They have made smart draft picks and FA and trades. Im very hopeful.

[@botira604]

DJ with Aidan and Alim is an absolute nightmare for opposing offenses

[@jstevesonfire119]

Let’s go! First exposure to the guy not just player, he’s it. Lunch pale dude. If he brings it gonna be beloved by this city forever.

[@penultimate8643]

I am over the moon that we got DJ. I think he is going to fit right in. This is a sneaky great free agency for us 💪🦁

What a great attitude. Detroit's gonna love this guy.

[@CharlieMayMusic]

Love how they showed him sacking Stafford as well!!!

[@greenfield4523]

Welcome to Detroit dj you will get a trophy 🏆 with your Detroit lions

[@CaseySigala]

So glad to have you DJ, welcome to Detroit my brother !!!

[@anandnathan6851]

This year we can see if it is possible to hold teams to negative rushing yards in a game more than once. Shades of the 'Goin to Work Pistons holding teams under 70 points.

[@BRADLEY_RYAN]

Let’s go!!!!

[@sagittarianking1398]

BEAST MASTER!!

[@BSANDY]

919 in the 313 we LIT!

Superbowl or bust 😂let's go Lions fans we are trending in a new direction!!

[@Valerie-Love]

If this guy is as good a player as he is a person we won the lotto. Excited to see him integrate with the team 💙

[@jameswhite7549]

So excited about the defensive line

[@brodycushman6396]

Good that we got a stud DT defense going to win the superbowl

[@jscharleston7963]

I have followed DJ since his time at Clemson. He is a class act and Detroit is getting a great young man.

[@joeroodmusic7695]

Wow, welcome to Detroit DJ. We family now brother!!! So impressed by how humble he is! What a great fit for this team!!! Time to work!!!

[@zachmcmillen389]

"This is there locker room, i just want to be a part of it." Biggest difference between Cj and Dj. I'm vibing with this guy. Great fit.

[@313SmoothJ]

💪🏾🦁 👑

[@RiverviewPiratesfootball]

Love this guy 💙💯🏈🏆💙

[@jonbradshaw1933]

Just imagining him and Mac on that interior is crazy. And I still have faith in Broderic. Has two great mentors. And they all strike me as guys who will continue to grind and work on their craft. That's a scary three headed monster. Guards and centers will be going through hell.

[@Cole-mb8dn]

Love this guy

[@petervanlaarhoven1461]

DJ is a very classy man in deed!! Welcome to Detroit 🦁

[@kngjames83]

He was really manifesting thru his support of the team 💯.

[@adrianrafaelmagana804]

We miss you already DJ, I'll be cheering for you but wish we could have had you retire a Bengal. Anyways, all the best and congratulations to the Lions, y'all got a GREAT player and man

[@dougmichaelroossien9115]

THIS IS THEIR LOCKER ROOM ..."I WAN'T TO ADD TO IT ...that's why CD, Ducee, ... is not here (that ain't him) talent and the right attitude toward the family here in Detroit Town

[@Idris-nt8rc]

CJ GJ was to haughty & very headstrong puffed up with pride. We are one pride but come with humility at forefront

[@luka4765]

Great dude like him even more

[@troy6679]

He kinda sounds like Alim

[@primecash144]

I said the same thing

[@DannyG_.]

They both from nc so it makes sense honestly

[@gordondeprest]

He said all the right things. Can't wait to see him bond with the team through OTA's and mini camp. The fact he spoke of hard work, being a good teammate, and his family importance to him, he is a good fit for these Lions.

[@July.4.1776]

DJ time to spin some Motown magic

[@larkwyll7351]

Seems like a team leader type and great locker room guy. He's going to fit in great in Detroit.

[@theschuttys]

Dannie Rogers is a great interviewer.

[@slimpickens7822]

Welcome to the Mitten , Him and Big Mac are going to be a hell of a pair !

If this man's own son believe in the Lions we better make the super bowl

Yeah, he fits

How many playing years you think he has left? I think at least five.

[@jberg8159]

[@OhtaniDodgers17]

After Chargers traded Keenan Allen to Bears, I have a bold idea. Perhaps we could trade Jared Goff along with a few future first-round picks for Justin Herbert. The current situation of the Lions resembles that of the Rams before, with a roster that's decent on both offense and defense, but lacking a top-tier quarterback. The Chargers are similar to what the Lions used to be, with everything except the quarterback being subpar. I believe it's a win-win trade from both sides' perspectives. For the Chargers, Goff's contract is only one year remaining, which provides flexibility for renewal or not. From the Lions' standpoint, we acquire a stronger and younger quarterback, and giving up a few first-round picks isn't much of a loss.

[@MES1331]

Chargers aren’t giving up Herbert

[@OhtaniDodgers17]

@@MES1331 I think Brad Holmes could try to inquire with the GM of the Chargers about the feasibility of this trade. From the Chargers' perspective, this trade also has its benefits. Keeping Herbert might result in stagnant performance, and Goff only has one year left on his contract, so they aren't obligated to extend it. The Chargers not only could acquire multiple first-round picks but also would have ample salary cap space. Perhaps they could draft a new promising quarterback in the upcoming years, and the team would have enough salary cap to build around it

[@primecash144]

#Nope

[@anandnathan6851]

This is a great idea. We can trade Goff for Herbert and 3 first round picks because Herbert has never won anything and Goff is the current King of Detroit.
