Lions DE Ezekiel Ansah still plays 10-on-10 soccer in Ghana, Utah

Ezekiel Ansah put his right cleat on a football, rolled it toward his toes, flipped it up onto his foot and kicked it.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Ezekiel Ansah put his right cleat on a football, rolled it toward his toes, flipped it up onto his foot and kicked it.

"That's soccer," Detroit Lions senior coaching advisor Gunther Cunningham said Thursday after witnessing the impressive feat.

Soccer is one of the activities Ansah did growing up in Ghana, and it is a sport he hasn't given up even though he's in the NFL.

"I still play," Ansah said.
