Matthew Stafford speaks publicly about trade in special airing Wednesday night

We’ve yet to hear Matthew Stafford speak publicly since the blockbuster trade that will send the 12-year Detroit Lions franchise quarterback to Los Angeles for a future with the Rams. That isn’t all that surprising, as the veteran quarterback likes to stay out of the public eye and has no social media accounts, but it’s clear there are some fans that would like to hear from him after they emotionally invested in him all these years.

Well, it appears those fans will get their wish. Starting on Wednesday night at 11 p.m. ET, WDIV—channel 4 in local Detroit—will air what they’re calling “The Stafford Story,” a multi-part special airing over a couple days.
