Lions Sign NFL All-Star Mathieu Betts Stafford: The Two Most Real NFL Coaches Are Andy Reid and Dan Campbell
With 12 victories and a trip to the NFC Championship game for the second time ever, the Detroit Lions had a remarkable season in 2023.
A victory over the Los Angeles Rams and former franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford in the Wild Card round of the playoffs was a component of their postseason success.
Despite Stafford’s trade departure from the organization in 2021, he kept track of the squad’s progress this season.
A former quarterback for the Lions lauded Dan Campbell.
Observing from a distance and subsequently in a direct playoff match, the seasoned quarterback wasn’t taken aback by the Lions’ accomplishments. During a recent visit on his wife Kelly’s podcast, “The Morning After With Kelly Stafford & Hank,” he was quite complimentary of their work.
“No, I believed they were designed for it.” No. Although you never know how far they’ll go, Stafford stated, “I wasn’t surprised in the slightest that they were a good team.” “It takes some emergence, right? Their offensive line is incredibly excellent, and when both of their backs are playing well, Jared was playing at a really strong clip. Their introductory course was excellent. I would compare it to ours, which was also excellent.
Stafford left at the same time as Lions coach Dan Campbell arrived. Given that Stafford was traded on January 31 and Campbell was recruited on January 20, there was some overlap.
He spoke with Campbell about Detroit prior to the franchise dealing the veteran quarterback. Stafford left feeling impressed by the new coach’s charismatic style.
