Let's be honest with ourselves, Lions fans -- when linebacker Zack Follett made Rams kick returner, Danny Amendola, piss himself in Week 8 of last season, the majority of us had no clue who the hell Zack Follett was.
We had no reason to because he was a 7th round draft pick and practice squadron, who just happened to be making his first NFL tackle. That's right, his first tackle in the NFL was a bone crushing, world rocking hit that was later named 'Hit of the Week' by the NFL Network and had to be given serious consideration for the biggest hit of the 2009 season (if they give such an honor). Lions fans were officially put on notice.
Shortly after the season ended, Zack Follett's video blogs started popping up on the internet (he 'danced with the lions, took us on a tour of his crib, and, in between, played a more serious role to help us dominate our sins).
His latest video takes the proverbial cake, though. Just days after the Lions had a relatively successful 2010 draft, where the team picked up Ndamukong Suh and Follett's former teammate, Jahvid Best, Zack presumably went out and got all jacked up on Myoplex, beef jerky, and chocolate/banana cheerios to celebrate. Naturally, afterward, he put on his thinking hat, some goofy shorts, a ragged South Park t-shirt, and some old school California tube socks before heading to the super market to collect some bare essentials for the upcoming season: Tampons and Barbie Band-aids for his opponents.
It's about to be a BLOODY MESS! from zack follett on Vimeo.
I have no particular affection for this Zach Follet fellow but in the new age of internet videos, social media and look-at-me behavior he seems to have struck at blow at become more noticable with this video. Plus he lets his play on the field speak volumes too. I still doubt Danny Amendola can hear correctly. But aside from decapitating undersized Texas Tech receivers (please tell me the Pats are on the Lions schedule this year) Follet is also now a teammate of my favorite player Ndamukong Suh. So Zach I wish you all the best this season and if you happen to see Wes Welker running a kick back, would a little helmet to helmet contact be too much to ask?
