Lions notes: Matthew Stafford has helped Detroit scout college, pros

While Matthew Stafford is coming off of one of his most disappointing seasons, head coach Matt Patricia doesn’t seem too worried about it. During his breakfast session with the media this week, Patricia once again backed his franchise quarterback.

Only this time, Patricia hit us with something we haven’t heard before about Stafford’s value. The Lions head coach noted that Stafford is a great resource for them when looking to scout players.

“You know what’s amazing about Stafford, free agency, draft, any of that stuff, if you want information, ask him because he knows it sometimes better than we do,” Patricia said according to the Detroit News.
