The Detroit Lions get the first pick of the first round of the NFL Draft and they decided to pick even before the NFL Draft actually begins today at 4 p.m. Earlier today Matthew Stafford, quarterback for University of Georgia, was picked for the Lion’s first round draft pick. Stafford is signing a contract for $78 million over six years and $41.7 million of that is guaranteed. That is quite a lot of money for a 21 year-old young man.
The Detroit lions went 0-16 last season and are looking for a miracle this season. The Lions now have the record for the NFL team with the most losses in one season. That title of having the most losses in a season used to be held by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 1976 the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost all their games, but they went 0-14 because fewer games were played in the regular season back then. That is records that the Buccaneers are happy not have anymore.
