Notes: Detroit welcomes DJ Reader with open arms

Big, bad DJ Reader signed with Detroit on Thursday, and the Lions wasted no time rolling out the introductory materials. In addition to the introductory press conference we mentioned on Pride of Detroit (in which the team offered an optimistic injury update for the torn quadricep he sustained last December), there is a lot of material now available online to get fans fired up for their powerful new disruptor in the middle of the defensive line. Included in the behind-the-scenes photo gallery on the team’s official website are some shots of Reader (and the other new Lions) putting pen to paper in Allen Park, signing their official contracts, and meeting the staff.
