Lions rookie Da'Shawn Hand's first tattoo in high school: A lion

Get to know Detroit Lions rookie defensive lineman Da’Shawn Hand in five questions:

What was the first tattoo you got, and what was the meaning behind it?

“It’s a lion with blood on his mouth. So I did research on lions and like a wild lion, if it’s full and we’re just chilling, like a wild lion could be right there and if it’s full it won’t mess with you. But when it’s hungry it’s going to go after the strongest prey. Unless it’s like desperate and hasn’t eaten in months, it will take the fresh gazelle other than like a broken down one with a broken leg.
