Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill has been itching to get back to the teams' defensive line since going down last December with a torn ACL. The defender, who is such an elite game wrecker and pass rusher to pair with Aidan Hutchinson this season, told The Athletic's Coulton Pouncy just the week just how badly he wanted to be back at Ford Field.
“It’s the only thing I’ve been looking forward to, don’t even know how to explain that to you. I’ve been waiting on this day for a long, long time.”
McNeill started for the Lions in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he immediately made his presence felt.
