Congrats to T.J. and his family for being drafted 109 overall by the Packers. You are now my enemy CHEESE HEAD! Kidding. Goodluck in the league and make us all proud

Congrats! I hope he does well with the Packers!

Good on ya TJ. Nice job!. Sounds like a road trip to GB for some of "OUR" crew. This fall's schedule, Thurs- JV Football, Fri- V football, Sat- EMU football, Sun-GB football, how cool !!!!!!

T.J. makes a trip to Detroit each year.

Great news! Best wishes to TJ and his family!

I finally have good reason to see a Lions game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Best of luck, TJ!

Congrats to TJ and the family!

Great article.

Passing on Lang with one of their 3rd round picks was a mistake by the Lions.

It won't be hard to follow T.J.'s career up in GB. He should fit perfectly. Nice article.

I liked the top of the Lions' draft (Stafford, Pettigrew and Delmas) and the WR from Penn. State. Adding T.J. would have been a nice move.

For those who are also following the Lions' draft, I've seen comments in a Detroit paper and the Wash Post to the ilk:

Top 3 picks, while not popular with the fans, were very good picks. WR Williams from Penn State a very valuable returner.

The rest of the picks, did they get input from Matt?

"You’re supposed to do well when you have the first pick, and they made the right moves with potential franchise QB Matthew Stafford, TE Brandon Pettigrew later in the first round and other solid picks in second-round S Louis Delmas and third-round WR Derrick Williams. B+ "

this is from today's Wash. Post.

a lot of national people are giving the Packers high marks, and every single recap mentinos Lang specifically. awesome. good for him. i hope he likes the cold weather, cause he's getting a lot more of it.

Congrats T.J. I'm wondering what the ticket situation is like in Green Bay. Is it sold out all the time? What am I talking about, I'll just wait to see you in Detroit. It should be easy to get a ticket there. Hey...... maybe you could hook me up? I'm almost your uncle you know. HA,HA,HA......just kidding. We are wishing the best for you and stay healthy. Good luck!

last year little D said they got em on ebay for $70 ea. that was against the lions though....
