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?

This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of Pride of Detroit's writers or editors. It does reflect the views of this particular fan, though, which is as important as the views of Pride of Detroit's writers or editors.
