Former Lions players already burying Matt Patricia’s legacy

We all know that former Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia wasn’t the most well-liked guy in the locker room, especially during his first year in Detroit. There were plenty of rumors that he had publicly ostracized players, implemented ridiculous guidelines on locker room conduct and practicing habits that rubbed the team the wrong way, and had quite literally run a few of the Lions’ players out of town.

Within minutes of Patricia being let go of his duties with the Lions, several former Lions players took to social media to express either their elation at the organization’s decision to move on, or to finally publicly reveal their own frustrations with Patricia during their time in Detroit.
