“No, it’s not like that. We were in high school together. She was my first girlfriend, the only girlfriend I’ve had. The only woman I’ve ever loved. I broke up with her the day I was drafted. It had to be done, but I’ve regretted it every single day since. I never thought I would ever have the chance to make it up to her, but then Penn Shepherd came to see me. I said I would only play for The Lions if he found her and offered her a job.”
