Grant Stuard Chooses Lions: A Sign of Detroit’s Culture Shift
Free agents typically sign for money, playing time, or a Super Bowl shot. But for new Detroit Lions linebacker Grant Stuard, the decision was about something else—culture.
Stuard, who inked a one-year deal with Detroit earlier this week, could have landed elsewhere. Instead, he chose a team that embodies grit, toughness, and a relentless mindset—all qualities he’s known for. The Lions’ transformation under Dan Campbell has made them an attractive destination for players who value work ethic over hype, and Stuard’s signing is another sign that Detroit’s culture is here to stay.
