C.J. Gardner-Johnson blasts Detroit Lions: ‘I got lied to’

C.J. Gardner-Johnson has never been afraid to share what’s on his mind, and that was very much the case this week when he was asked to reflect on his time with the Detroit Lions last season. Gardner-Johnson, who now plays for the Super Bowl-bound Philadelphia Eagles, called his time with the Lions “hell,” and claims he was lied to by “everyone” within the organization.

Gardner-Johnson, speaking to Detroit Free Press’ Dave Birkett in New Orleans, spoke about the tough season as it pertained to suffering a torn pectoral muscle in Detroit’s Week 2 game and rehabbing to finally get back on the field.
