Earlier this week, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid told a crazy story about how he once used a play from a janitor, and it actually resulted in a touchdown.
“I took one from a janitor one time at Green Bay,” Reid said. “He goes, ‘I got this play for you.’ And he kept telling me this over and over. Finally, I said, ‘OK, here’s a card. Draw up the play.’ And he drew up the play, and I go, ‘Dang, that’s pretty good.’”
On Saturday, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson was asked where the craziest play he’s pulled a design from, and his answer was just as surprising.
