In all nine years of his NFL career, Kenny Wiggins had never stood in front of a podium to address the media. So when he got his first chance to do so on Tuesday afternoon, he had one request for the Detroit Lions local media.
“Take it easy on me, alright?”
And while the media was mostly benevolent for Wiggins’ first presser, the NFL has not been quite as friendly to him since he entered the league in 2011.
He went undrafted after playing for three years at Fresno State.
