FOX Sports Detroit is thrilled to announce our preseason Detroit Lions broadcast team: former National Football League wide receiver Nate Burleson; former NFL tight end Rob Rubick; and play-by-play announcer, reporter and host Matt Shepard.
Burleson’s 11-year NFL career included four seasons with the Detroit Lions (2010-13). He was the first player to return three punts for 90 yards and is the Seattle Seahawks' record-holder for punt return yards in a playoff game (84). He also played for the Minnesota Vikings.
Rubick, who was a 12th-round pick by the Detroit Lions in 1982, played in 88 games, had four touchdowns, 44 receptions and one carry.
