When you think of No. 9 and the Detroit Lions, Matthew Stafford immediately comes to mind as he spent 12 seasons in the Motor City.
Though Stafford never led the Lions to a single playoff victory, he set a plethora of franchise records and many consider him to be the best quarterback in team history.
Well, thanks to the good eye of Benjamin Raven, we now know that there is a new No. 9 in town and his name is Chris Williamson.
Williamson is a cornerback on the Lions practice squad.
Raven also noted that No. 9 was one of only two available numbers remaining.
