During Matthew Stafford‘s 12 seasons with the Detroit Lions, there were not very many years that the experts predicted the team to be more than .500 and for the most part, they were right.
In fact, during those 12 seasons, the Lions were only above the .500 mark on four occasions.
Now, Stafford is on the Los Angeles Rams, a team that many are picking to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
During a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, Stafford admitted that it has been a while since he was this excited about an upcoming season.
It’s been a while. We had some good teams in Detroit, and I’m excited every single year because I love playing this game. But those years we made the playoffs [2011, ’14 and ’16], I thought we had good teams. But I’m very excited about playing for this team, the Rams organization. I’m excited about trying to get to know these guys. To win as consistently as the Rams have won in the last four or five years, you’ve got to have good people. You can’t just have good players and good coaches. It’s a really fun thing for me to be a part of, just trying to immerse myself in the team.
To be fair, I would be pretty damn excited too if I was playing for the Rams in 2021!
