ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Detroit Lions defensive back Justin Coleman will be walking around the house and can’t help himself. He sees his wife, Destiny, holding almost anything, really, and half messing around, half serious, he’ll take a swipe at it.
He’ll never try to actually knock whatever she’s carrying out of her hands -- it often is valuable -- but the playfulness is a point of practice.
“She’s like, ‘What are you doing?’" Coleman said with a sly smile. “I’m like, ‘Nothing, just getting better.’"
This is how Coleman thinks. If he’s walking around the Lions' facility and sees someone holding a football, he’ll try to knock it loose.
