Detroit Lions’ Graham Glasgow is a beer pong expert

Detroit Lions’ Graham Glasgow is a beer pong expert

Detroit Lions offensive lineman Graham Glasgow caught the attention of fans online when a video of the veteran drinking beer at a Barstool Sports competition surfaced.

“I’m a beer pong expert,” the 32-year-old said after discussing his feelings about his placement in the competition.

After returning to the Lions from a stint with the Broncos, the former Michigan Wolverines lineman has proven his worth, displaying consistency and versatility for one of the league’s best offensive lines.

The veteran signed a three-year, $20 million contract extension that will keep him at Motown potentially through the 2026 season.

“I talked to my agent, I think it was the night before the tampering period,” Glasgow told reporters after signing a contract extension. “I mean, you can always see that there’s some other interest from other teams and even if you’re not talking about money. And he told me what (the Lions) had offered and I said I didn’t even want to really wait and see, use the offers from other teams to maybe come back and try to get more money. I just wanted to do it and I did it.”

A significant reason the former Broncos lineman wanted to return to the Lions was the potential for the offense to get even better with offensive coordinator Ben Johnson leading the way.

“I feel like there’s still a lot to prove and I feel like me, myself and us as an attack can get a lot better, and us as a team can get a lot better,” Glasgow said. “That was a big reason why I wanted to come back, I feel like the prospect of us being an even better team than we were last year is really good.”

Former cornerback joins Rams

Cornerback Jerry Jacobs has found a new team for the 2024 season.

After starting his career with the Lions, Jacobs has reportedly signed a contract to join the Los Angeles Rams for the upcoming season.

Jacobs struggled in his final season with the Lions organization, which led to the team not retaining him, even though he was a restricted free agent after the season.

The Arkansas State product started 12 games last season but was benched late in the year, replaced by Khalil Dorsey in the team’s Week 16 win over Denver. The following week, veteran cornerback Kindle Vildor would become the full-time starter in place of Dorsey and Jacobs.

General manager Brad Holmes made several moves to improve the secondary, trading for Carlton Davis, signing Amik Robertson and Emmanuel Moseley, and drafting Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw.
