The Detroit Lions pulled off a deal last week, acquiring Everson Griffen from the Dallas Cowboys to help shore up their defensive unit.

Almost immediately after the trade, Griffen took to social media to express his excitement over heading to the Motor City and promising to be a “motherf****in dog ready to eat.”
And while he wasn’t able to make his Lions debut during Sunday’s setback against the Indianapolis Colts, he’s looking forward to doing so this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. And he’s certainly fired up.
Griffen took to social media to once again share his thoughts, with a bit of a more philosophical approach this time:
He’s getting ready to participate in his first practice this week after clearing the COVID-19 testing process. And after having played in 154 career games since 2010, it’s safe to say that Griffen is indeed one of the “real” ones.

According to ESPN NFL Insider Field Yates, the Lions will be hosting veteran wide receiver Mohamed Sanu for an official workout:

He was released by the Patriots this September.
Sanu has 404 career receptions for a total of 4,516 yards and 26 touchdowns.
