Detroit Lions’ T.J. Hockenson Says What It Was Really Like Under Matt Patricia

The Detroit Lions are getting closer and closer to the beginning of their second season with head coach Dan Campbell. While Campbell hasn't quite delivered the goods yet, he does bring a refreshing, upbeat vibe to the Detroit Lions, and it's something the players apparently appreciate.

Tight end T.J. Hockenson was recently interviewed on the “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast. During the chat, he talked about what he likes about Campbell- and what makes him so different from former coach Matt Patricia. Honestly, I do really like Campbell's positive vibe. It seems like it would be fun to go to the bar with him. The players seem to like him, too.

During the podcast, Hockenson said this about Patricia, via Heavy.com: "I was his pick. Dude liked me. He didn’t talk to me a ton outside of the meeting or anything like that. Dude outside of that was cool. But then when he got into the meeting, it was like he tried to be (Bill) Belichick. It’s just like ‘alright man, this is what we have to do today, the hard way is the right way.’ That is true, it really is.”

Hockenson added, "On the same hand, there’s a player vibe with Campbell. Like, dude has played. Dude understands what it is,” Hockenson said. “Still, hard way is the right way. We’re going to practice hard, we’re going to do a lot of hard things, but on the same hand, he’s going to take care of us in certain situations. Because he knows what it is.”

Former Detroit Lions and current L.A. Rams quarterback Matthews Stafford has won a Super Bowl, but up until last weekend, he didn't even have an Instagram account. That all changed when Stafford took to the social network for his first post over the weekend- but his wife Kelly wasn't too happy about the photo that he shared with the world.

Stafford's post is an image of him wearing his Super Bowl ring, commenting about, "She's a real beauty." So, what's the big deal about that kind of a post? Well, he actually cropped his wife out of the photo. My mom would not be too happy if my dad did something like this. Then again, my dad has never even heard of Instagram, so they would never be in this situation. That one benefit to not being into the modern age.

Kelly fought back with her own Instagram post, in essence "trolling" her husband. The two posts went viral over the weekend, so consider it a warm welcome for Stafford on Instagram. Check out both of the posts below, as well as some of Kelly's other Instagram posts. She is something on an Instagram star, so it's surprising that it took so long to get Matthew into the game. Then again, he's been busy winning Super Bowls and even thinks he can win another Super Bowl this season.
