The Detroit Lions introduced their newest member Friday afternoon at their practice facility in Allen Park. Ohio State offensive tackle Taylor Decker, the first pick for the Lions in the draft, said he’s been overwhelmed by the welcome–especially one text he received this morning:
Taylor Decker said he received a "congratulations" text message from @Lions QB Matthew Stafford this morning before he left Chicago.
