Lions
Lions DT Alim McNeill signed a massive extension with the team on Tuesday. He said Detroit was where he always wanted to be.
โIโm so glad it got done,โ McNeill said, via the teamโs website. โIโm so glad I can be here. Iโd be lying if I said it wasnโt a weight off my shoulders, for sure. Iโm just extremely thankful. I appreciate the organization and everyone that was in that decision.โ
McNeill discussed the Lionsโ strategy of keeping their own talent in-house.
โYou come in here and do what youโre supposed to do and do your job to your fullest extent, they show that loyalty and that love to their guys,โ McNeill said. โYou just come here and do what you need to do to the fullest extent, and some, and youโll get what you need.โ
Lions HC Dan Campbell said McNeill is an integral part of what they do defensively.
โHeโs one of those guys weโre going to lean on,โ Campbell said. โHe doesnโt have to be Superman, but weโve got to get that out of him every week, and heโs got that ability. Played a heck of a game (Sunday).โ

Again, we feel really good about that where we sit right now and weโre excited to get him out there.โ
