DeAndre Levy started with the Detroit Lions at the very bottom, coming off the 0-16 season in 2008 with a new team president in Tom Lewand, a new general manager in Martin Mayhew and first-time head coach Jim Schwartz.
As Levy leaves the team after being released Thursday, he’s seen it evolve and improve, much like the city of Detroit itself. He just knows he won’t be around to see if the transformation is completed.
Levy said he wants to keep playing. He wants to return to his old form. But he leaves the Lions with no regrets.
