One of the first things DeShon Elliott did when he moved to Detroit this summer was put out a call to find a personal chef on Twitter.
Elliott, in his first season as a starting safety with the Detroit Lions after four years with the Baltimore Ravens, had used a private chef on and off during his time in Baltimore and had seen it positively impact his career.
He saved time and money after relying heavily on the food delivery services DoorDash and Uber Eats as a young player. He was able to better maintain a routine; he likes to work out early in the morning and often comes home late in the evening from practice, so having pre-made meals was convenient.
