As the offseason continues, NFL players continue gearing up for the upcoming season ahead. And one of those players is a first-round 2023 draft pick by the Detroit Lions. This 22-year-old linebacker was named the 2022 Big Ten conference’s preseason defensive player of the year and also the Big Ten’s defensive player of the year when the season ended. Standing at 6fit5 and weighing around 245 pounds, this first-round Lions draftee will look to be holding the fort for the Lions on the field definitely.
But it seems that despite his glorious college career, this LB was no match for his recently engaged girlfriend. And fans were left in awe after she managed to spear her NFL fiancée head-on during their vacation.
