ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The locker room is much different now and Matthew Stafford knows it. Sure, the Detroit Lions quarterback expects a certain amount of change from year to year -- that’s the business of the NFL.
But, at age 28, Stafford isn’t exactly old in terms of years on this Earth, despite entering his eighth season in the NFL. Then he looks around and perhaps feels a bit beyond his years in a Lions locker room that has gone through a bunch of changes the past few years.
“It’s crazy how it happens,” Stafford said.
