If a Lions fan were to come to your hometown, the first place you would take them is ... ?

Favorite TV show?

Favorite emoji?

Hand: It's the laughing one. Either the crying laughing one or the thinking one.

Favorite meal?

Hand: Oh that's tough. It depends what I'm in the mood for. You can never go wrong with filet mignon and lobster. I like cajun pasta with the chicken andouille sausage and shrimp too.

Hand: Lil Uzi - Sauce It Up.

Do you have any hidden talents?

If you could have any super power, what would it be?

Hand: To teleport, just like that.

If you could play any other NFL position, what would you play?

Hand: Quarterback, hands down. I'd just be live out there. I'd be the best. I'd be able to run, throw, do the option. My arm would be so lethal, and I'd have swag. I'd have all the swag.

One person you'd like to meet?

Hand: I've already met Barack. There's so many people out there ... Bill Gates.

Favorite thing about Detroit so far?

Hand: I haven't really had a chance to go out and see the town. I've just been so into [offseason workouts]. I'm not sure yet.
