ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Trey Flowers knew what was coming. His agent had called moments earlier on Monday afternoon. He had agreed to a deal with the Detroit Lions, making him one of the richest defensive players in football.
So with his father nearby, Flowers just sat back and watched it all unfold on live TV before picking up his 6-year-old daughter, Skyler, from school.
“I was just chilling in the living room, me and my dad,” Flowers said. “My dad, he likes sports, he’s a sports fan, we’re a sports family. He had the TV on in the house, NFL Network, hearing all the news and stuff.
