Under the Helmet: Alex Anzalone

[@hypedetroit]

That article Anzo wrote for the players tribune to Lions fans after the loss in SF last year shows how much he loves this team and city.

[@anseldejong]

Whoa, hadn't read that until now, thanks for bringing it to my attention. So glad I live in the Detroit area, go Lions!

[@djmReports]

Awesome read thank you for this post.

[@sas4l176]

Thanks for lmk

[@dolphpaperroute6362]

Holy Fawk I didn't know about this till i read your comment and I just read the whole thing. What a guy man (Dan Campbell voice) lol "Everybody wanna be a dawg till it's time to do some dawg shit"

[@thedarkknight7038]

It's an absolute must read on the players Tribune, site

[@bradvilla6516]

"Alex Anzalone, Father of Two."

[@gunternine1130]

Get's me in the feels every time.

[@HelloIamCloudy]

I saw that. I literally said a short "aww".

[@goodcitizen6388]

Beat me to it. Lol

[@jamesbailey4304]

Shout out to Lions media team, they've done an excellent job in bringing the players to the fans this year, and what a wonderful man and his family to share with us!

[@July.4.1776]

Thank you Alex for coming to the Detroit Lions you are an exceptional athlete and family man..

[@DLIONSJR02]

That’s a good dude right there. Definition of what this team is

[@heybuddywuzup]

Definitions are intrinsically propositional. People aren't propositional in nature (no object is). Therefore Anzelone isn't the definition of what the team is.

[@HonoluluBlue81]

So glad to have 34 back on the field to help us get 3 more W’s. One Pride 💙

[@SBDetroitGirl]

LOVE ANZALONE! Such a true leader on and off the field.

[@richardwarfordjr.5622]

Yes

[@leoobermyer3769]

Having a partner as strong and selfless as Lindsey is such a priceless gift and is a key ingredient in the focus Alex brings to his work. This glimpse into their relationship is quite special.

[@kevandyh]

What a great guy! Wonderful example of a loving husband, father and Leader! I feel so grateful he is on my team, The Lions!

[@MarkHubbard-j9f]

What an amazing man. It is wonderful to see how much he loves his wife and kids. I praise the Lord for Alex, may he lead the Lions and keep God first.

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

God? really?

[@jacobclaeys1760]

@@LarsRyeJeppesen yeah, really. Some men live for a higher purpose in life. Must be frightening to you

[@Jacksonmontyart]

My wife and I just lost our first baby on Christmas Eve. It’s great to hear another Christian go through that and give that burden to God, and come together as a husband and wife. Thankful for this video, and thankful to have you on the team

[@TheAuralight]

I'm so sorry ❤

[@YvonneNicole248]

[@codyelder8910]

34yrs old was born into lions fan base . Thank you anzalone for everything you’ve done from putting your body and mind all out on the field for the lions and the sport. Thank you so much

[@FrehleyBurst9-1878]

I LOVE this Dude! I have been a Lions fan for 50 of my 59 years but had to root for other teams and players since we have been horrible for decades. I am a Tom Brady Guy because we both were in Ann Arbor in the mid 90s (Tom playinmg football and myself training in a martial art) so I watched the Lions but followed Tom. I was devistated when Tom retired as I thought he would play till he was 50! so I started following the Lions again and had 2 favorites, Jared Goff (He reminds me of Tom Brady) and Alex Anzalone (He reminds me of a BIG Chris Spielman). His playing style is incredible and I was so happy he returned from his injury before the playoffs! This mini documentary shows what a great Human Being he is, and his family is what everyone should try to emulate. He is what a football player should be and what every human being should try to be. This is a very special group of players that the Lions have and they WILL win the Super Bowl and bring winning football to Detroit for a long time! Great Job Alex!

[@richardwarfordjr.5622]

Correct 😊

[@matthewforsleff4102]

Such an inspirational human and family :)

[@YaBoyBTrue]

these videos make me love this team so damn much more im tearing up for these players

[@dennymoe8010]

Dude your an awesome person im glad your here . good luck in the playoffs. Peace

[@jodycarrithers6160]

Great video. We all love you here in Detroit. We are so glad you're back on the field showing how much you are needed on this team. What a beautiful wife and family you have as well. I believe a pivotal moment of enormous proportion is just a couple weeks away for you and the entire team. I can't wait to see it happen. You all deserve it! GO LIONS!

[@keithjames9604]

Happy Birthday little Cooper!! Amazing family Alex.

[@HonoluluBS]

Fantastic look into Alex’s life. Thanks for putting this together. Love the team…but it’s the individuals we love more. Thanks for showing us their people first.

[@MightyTANK1]

That is a rich man right there.

[@Boogie_drums]

idk if anyone noticed when he came back how different our defense is love this dude and i hope and pray him and all these other great players get that superbowl win.

[@deannahunt8522]

My Man Anzalone!! Such a great guy 💙🏈💙

[@stevenz1409]

That’s a beautiful love story. Love watching you play. This year it’s going to be your super-bowl. Last year was a taste. 💪

[@chalesgolding5314]

I’m a Packers fan but with that said these “under the helmets” are excellent. From what I’ve seen no other teams do this , well done Lions…

[@AGtheOG33]

This is fantastic. What a story, too, for a guy that just gives everything every day. But to learn about Lindsay's sacrifice, too, that really was something. I certainly hope this city will embrace this family beyond football.

[@solomongrim982]

Good words my friend sometimes we forget these people are human's

[@AGtheOG33]

@solomongrim982 Absolutely. Thank you.

[@michaeldaly5747]

Alex, we got so lucky when you, Dan, and Aaron came to town. I didn't think I could like you more until I watched this vid. Defensive pro bowler and a perfect husband and Dad, just WOW, and thank you!

[@jamorgan2740]

Sorry for the loss to you and Lindsay brother. We appreciate and love you here in Detroit AA!

I don’t know if this has been mentioned yet but damn …Alex gives me Chris Spielman vibes. Great husband, father and player. Love it! LFG!!

[@alicewaggle6803]

Ahhh ! The Lions were working , designing a new team structure as if 2021 and nobody was paying attention except for us seniors ! We always love our Lions 🦁 and we saw the Lions and saw them headed to be the Super Bowl champions and although it was a bit of a wait? It’s been well worth it! A new winning team with a brick foot kicker and a ruthless team never giving up ! See you at the Super Bowl 🏆🥇🏉🏈🏟️🏉🏈

[@solomongrim982]

Good words my friend damn good words Go lions

[@westdr1dw4]

Awesome player with an awesome family. Great to see you back in the game. Defense really game to life. Think a lot of that is attributed to Number 34 presence on the field.

[@BradDiv-ui1oy]

Phenomenal story about a great loving family and classy individuals passionate about each other and life in general

[@bibliophilelady6106]

Beyond what he physically did in the Vikings game it was amazing how he was able to bring out the best in the rest of the defense as well. He would make an excellent coach when his player days are over.

[@frankherrick5788]

Awesome job on the On and off the field profile of Alex. The Detroit Lions do an amazing job with their media productions (Best in the NFL). Alex, you are a amazing man both on and off the field. Leader for your team, And an amazing husband and father For your family… An true role model for players and future players in football and life… God bless you always

I really appreciate how much he respects his wife and how much she matters as a human being, too. Just because he plays football they are equal partners in their relationship. That was really awesome to hear and see! Love Alex and so glad he is back playing. His leadership is priceless.
