Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News wrote about Lions cornerback D.J. Reed and his pursuit of a Super Bowl.
Seven years may not seem like a long time ago for most people, but in terms of football-time, it is an eternity. For the Detroit Lions ’ newly-signed cornerback D.J. Reed, it may seem like a lifetime ago in some ways, and just yesterday in others.
Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News wrote about how Reed uses memories from early in his football career to keep himself grounded.

As a daily reminder just in case the memory begins to fade, Reed keeps a photo of his time back as a freshman walk-on at Fresno State. After that, he would bounce back to a junior college before earning a scholarship at Kansas State . Now he is a well-established veteran, looking to add a championship ring to an already impressive professional resume.
“I wanted to get paid, I wanted to play with dogs, and gratefully, I’m playing with dogs on the defensive side and on the offensive side. So I’m going to a great team and have a shot at that Lombardi. That was my goal — win a Super Bowl.”
