Tyrell Crosby was standing in his shower, the water running over him a couple hours before heading to the airport early Tuesday morning, when it dawned on him just how different this trip was.
A Detroit Lions offensive tackle in 2018-21, Crosby was traveling to Michigan for the fifth straight summer, only this time he was not heading back for training camp with a large suitcase packed with size 16 shoes, video game consoles and clothes for the fall.
