From Lions draftee to Astronaut

Found this on ABC.com, a nice little story about an athlete with a plan and a real career after he left the game. Posting about it here because there's a line in there about how Leland Melvin was originally a Detroit Lions draftee out of Richmond University back in 1986.

Maybe we should hire this guy instead of Millen....at least he's got a brain. Gotta wonder, if the Lions lose this weekend, and given the different directions the Lions and Cowboys have taken over the past 4 weeks, that's likely, even if the Lions have won this matchup the past two years, when will the first "fire Millen" chants of the year be heard?
