And today just happens to be his 35th birthday.

Among his career accolades include sporting the best three year stretch by a receiver in NFL history. A three time All-Pro selection, he holds the NFL season record for receiving yards with 1,964.
His relationship with the Lions since calling it a career in 2016, however, has been strained.
Could this be the first step towards a reconciliation between the two sides?
