Detroit Lions veteran guard Oday Aboushi has had an interesting offseason. In addition to his normal offseason challenge of fasting during Ramadan, he also lives in New York City, one of the places in the country hit hardest by the Coronavirus pandemic.

Aboushi joined NFL Network show “Good Morning Football” on Wednesday and explained how he was touched by Lions head coach Matt Patricia reached out to him to make sure he and his family were doing okay amidst the crisis.

“He’s reached out to me when everything first happened, knowing I’m in New York City,” Aboushi said.
