New Lions DT Mike Daniels: ‘You’ll see how motivated I am’

Detroit — Rod Wood called it “Mike Daniels: Unplugged.”

And while it may not quite qualify as bulletin board material, for a buttoned-up organization like the Lions, the new defensive tackle’s comments on Wednesday did qualify as brash.

“You’ll see how motivated I am,” said Daniels after being a surprise cut by Green Bay, where he spent seven solid seasons, including a Pro Bowl appearance.

Daniels was one of a quintet of free-agency additions who met with the Detroit Economic Club for the 23rd annual Lions Kickoff Luncheon at Ford Field, one day before the preseason finale Thursday in Cleveland.
