Earlier this week, we ran a story about Amon-Ra St. Brown’s interaction with a Detroit Lions fan and cancer survivor on the sidelines before the team’s Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears. While that video went viral, many never heard the story of how it all happened. It turns out Lions linebacker Anthony Pittman played a big part in getting the kid, Lucas Gidelski, on the field that day.
So to talk about that moment—and a lot of other things—we had Pittman on our podcast this week. In it, he revealed how the encounter all came to be and why giving back to Detroit—his hometown city—is so important to him.
