Mike Daniels is happy to be a Lion, and even happier to be playing for Matt Patricia.
Daniels, who signed a one-year deal with the Lions on Friday, said the second-year Lions coach was the reason he picked Detroit after 13 teams reached out about his availability following his release by the Green Bay Packers last week.
Daniels never met Patricia before his visit, but he said he knew the Lions coach by reputation and had a great meeting with Patricia in Allen Park.
