Justin Coleman had no idea who Gordie Howe was.
But somehow, before the Detroit Lions cornerback had any idea he would end up playing in the same city as the late Red Wings legend and hockey icon known as Mr. Hockey, he was drawn to Howe’s jersey.
This happened in Seattle, where Coleman played for the Seahawks from 2017-18. Coleman grew up in Georgia and he isn’t a hockey fan.
