Super Bowl run has ex-Detroit Lions teammates rooting for, living through Matthew Stafford

Dominic Raiola was on the phone with a Grand Rapids-based moving company earlier this week, trying to coordinate his family’s relocation from Texas to Arizona, when the manager on the other end made small talk with the ex-Detroit Lions lineman about Super Bowl LVI.

“They were like, ‘Do you still talk to Stafford? Tell him the whole state of Michigan’s rooting for him,’” Raiola said. “And I was just like, ‘That’s crazy, man.’ But when you do things the right way that’s what happens. The guy did it the right way all these years, all his hard work, never was one of these guys that came in and did it the wrong way.
