Watch Out for Zack Follett

by Sean Yuille on Nov 4, 2009 3:41 AM EST in Detroit Lions News

A quick note to returners who play the Lions in the future: keep your head on a swivel and make sure you keep an eye on where Zack Follett is at all times. If you don't, this could happen:

Follett's hit was one of this week's Sprint Can't-Miss Plays, and it has led to the discovery of this hilarious picture from 97.1 The Ticket:

There's actually an entire page dedicated to Follett on Karsch and Anderson's section of the website, and it is definitely worth checking out. As we quickly found out after he was drafted by the Lions, Follett is something else.

This is kind of a repost from another thread, but did anyone else make this association from the Zach Follett picture?

It was the first thing I thought of

Now, picture piles & piles of punt returners in the background :-)

Haha

This picture is hillarious. I bet if someone spent a little bit more time on it (notice the tiny bit of blue and the shadow to the left) it woud be perfecto!

The hit was even better though…..when was the last time we had a guy who hits that hard?

I love how Stafford went absolutely nuts celebrating the hit

I wish it was on the YouTube clip.

Yeah, that was awesome

That there was a hit and a half.

2009 = The start of the Lions Golden Age (We hope).

The one bright spot on special teams.

Hope it starts to rub off on some of the defensive players.

Follet

Zack Follet is one of those guys I was real impressed with coming out of college, for all those MSU fans you saw him absolutely shut down Javon RInger, and he was on Hoyer the whole game…………………….I was really happy to see him come to the Lions.

Thought this was appropriate

Check out a short interview from the guy Follet destroyed.

HAHAHA

“The hit didn’t hurt, but my mind wasn’t working”

Does that mean the hit did hurt and the synapses of his BLASTED BRAIN, just couldn’t relay the message?

When asked by the media.....

“Who is the one person you are most happy to see leave for the NFL”, a large number of remaining PAC 10 players said “Zack Follet”. And that in itself is awesome!
