Detroit Lions’ Martin Mayhew Speaks!

Detroit Lions General Manager Martin Mayhew, who lives by the Teddy Roosevelt credo of speaking softly but carrying a big stick, spoke to the media last week.

I understand that each spot is vitally important to get right and that a team may need to fudge the QB depth chart to secure a needed player in another position. But there’s a reason you hear corporate types in other businesses...
