Notes: C.J. Gardner-Johnson recaps Day 1 of OTAs in Detroit Lions’ first gaming stream

On Tuesday afternoon, after the Detroit Lions’ opening OTA practice, the team premiered a new online show via their YouTube page. New Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson hosted a gaming live stream, where he plays video games with a teammate while answering live questions from the YouTube comments.

In the premiere episode, Gardner-Johnson played new Lions running back David Montgomery in a game of NBA 2K23. The two had great conversations about their new lives in Detroit, the opening day of OTAs, and expectations for the Lions this season.

Personally, what I found most interesting was Gardner-Johnson talking about assuming a role as a leader for the team.
