On Tuesday afternoon, the Detroit Lions announced that they have hired former All-Pro LB Chris Spielman to be their Special Assistant to Chairman and President & CEO.
Following the announcement, Spielman spoke to the media via a Zoom call the the enthusiasm we have come to know and love from his was shining bright.
As you will see in the interview below, Chris made it crystal clear that he will do whatever it takes to help build the Lions into a winning organization.
Here are some of his quotes, followed by the full interview.
More from Spielman: "You can’t build a winning culture in 'us vs. them.' … It’s easy to be strong when you’re on a six-game winning streak. You’ve got to stay strong when things are rough and you lose a few games. You’ve gotta stay unified."

Chris Spielman said a conversation with Sheila Ford Hamp convinced him to take this position. "She gave a locker-room speech. I was ready to run through the hotel door in Cincinnati." https://t.co/S2AjkMEDfw

Happy to hear that Chris is joining the Lions. We need his spirit and drive. May all the
Linebackers play like Chris did.
