Lions linebacker Zack Follett appeared on ESPN Radio (1430 AM) in Fresno where he had some interesting comments on Lions QB Matthew Stafford.

Here is what he had to say…

“Stafford, good guy,” Follett said. “He’s a china doll right now. Anytime he gets hit, he goes down. But the kid is — hopefully, it’s just patiently waiting for him, because the kid is an awesome talent. He has a tremendous arm. The throws that he makes during practice when no one can touch him, he looks like an All-American quarterback, but put him in a game, and you hit his shoulder. So hopefully, say a couple prayers, keep him healthy next year, and the Lions can do some damage in the NFC.”

Follett said what a lot of fans are thinking yet I don’t believe Follett meant for it to come out like it did. It was simply a poor choice of words on Follett’s part and is probably getting a little blown out of proportion.

Follett later regretted what he said on his Twitter page…

“That’s my bad on the china doll comment, just referring to his injury .. have no room to talk I was more broken then anyone this yr”
