How Detroit Lions TE Darren Fells went from playing basketball overseas to NFL mainstay

Darren Fells is in his second stint with the Detroit Lions after re-signing this spring. The veteran tight end stopped to answer five questions for the Free Press before the Lions' game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field.

You're known as a blocking tight end but you caught 11 touchdown passes the past two seasons with the Houston Texans. What's the better feeling, burying someone in the ground or getting in the end zone?

Definitely burying someone to the ground. It's a man's sport so that means you just got the best of the person right there.
