Lions' Dan Campbell wore a racing helmet to a press conference and of course it's a meme now
Too funny.
Dan Campbell has already made quite a splash as the head coach of the Detroit Lions after his introductory press conference back in January.
It was then that Campbell said, “When you knock us down, we’re going to get up and on the way up, we’re going to bite a kneecap off, all right? And then we’re going to stand up. And then it’s going to take us two more shots to knock us down. And on the way up, we’re going to take your other kneecap. … Before long, we’re going to be the last one standing.”
It was quite a moment. But now, we have a new meme thanks to Campbell, who wore a racing helmet to kick off his latest meeting with reporters because he’s excited to be the Grand Marshal for the 2021 Detroit Grand Prix.
Here’s what it looked like:
