Earlier today the Detroit Lions were paid a special visit by some NFL players as part of the League's mentoring program. Our own Reggie Greengrass was there to witness the heart warming scene. Reggie, I bet the Lions had the time of their lives. They certainly did Mark; the look on the Lions' faces when their favorite player showed up, their eyes were as big as sausages. Well, you could hardly blame them. It's not everyday they get to hang out with actual NFL athletes. And these Lions have been through so much: not winning a game last year, bad draft decisions, bad billing. - It's really sad, Mark, I mean no team should have to endure what the Lions have had to go through. Most people just write the Lions off as lost causes. That's exactly right, and people don't understand how much it means to the Detroit Lions when real professional football players take the time to teach you how to make a tackle. Oh wow, they'll remember that for the rest of their lives. Oh yeah. And the Giants' Ahmad Bradshaw was there too, right? Yes. And at one point Ahmad Bradshaw had the ball and he kind of like play running towards the end zone and one by one the Lions were jumping all over him to tackle him but they couldn't being him down. He scores the touchdown, they all fall into a big heap laughing - they're so adorable. - That's a great lesson for the Lions, too, just do your best and have fun, that's what's important, right? Yeah, they had fun all right. At one point this young Detroit Lion, Jerome Felton, he marches right up to Kyle Boller and asks him for an autograph. - Oh no, they're not shy, those Lions. I'd imagine the experience really brought the whole Lions team closer together as well. Oh yeah, definitely. I mean, earlier in the day some of the Lions had been teasing Kevin Smith because he kept dropping the ball, and tripping on his shoelaces. But Torry Holt told the Lions that friends and teammates always help each other when things are tough. - And that's a good lesson for them to learn. - Yeah, and by the end of the day Kevin was catching some passes, and even running them into the end zone. The Lions that were making fun of him before even started calling him "Touchdown Kevin". That's really nice, especially coming from Holt, he used to be a Lion himself. - That's right. He told the Lions that with hard work dedication, and a little bit of luck, someday they can get out of Detroit, too. - Wow, I'm getting a little bit misty here. Thanks for the story Rich. - You got it. Coming up next: The baseball hall of fame is inducted into the hall of halls of fame.
