Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia is a genius in the eyes of one of the team's newest additions.
"Coach Patricia, flat out," defensive tackle Mike Daniels said when asked why he signed with Detroit, per Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official website. "He's just a genius. He really is. He understands the game of football. He knows what it takes. So to be able to play for a coach like that it means everything. I'm really trying to be restrained right now because I'm so excited. If I could do a backflip right now, I'd do one, but I can't.
