Detroit Lions defensive end Mike Daniels knows that having a career in the NFL is a blessing, and it’s a blessing worth fighting for. That’s why he treats every day as an opportunity to prove himself and takes nothing for granted.
“When you come to the NFL you work so hard, you just give everything you’ve got,” Daniels said at Wednesday’s Detroit Lions Kickoff Lunch. “Every single day, you walk into that building and say, ‘They’re not going to cut me. I’m not going to get cut. I’m not going to get released. I’m going to make it hard for them.
