Detroit Lions safety Glover Quin admitted Sunday that it’s hard to keep his focus strictly on football right now with the events happening around his hometown of Houston with Hurricane Harvey.
Quin’s wife Gladys and his three children live in the Houston suburb of Richmond, which is south of the city.
Harvey is responsible for massive flooding in the Houston area. Though Quin’s home has been sparred so far, he told reporters Sunday that the water is rising in the fields behind his house.
Quin said it’s a helpless feeling being more than 1,300 miles away from his family.
