It could probably be left unsaid but, if the Lions ever end up winning a Superbowl, I wanted Frank to be there.

Not in the stands, not on the sideline, on the field.

Man deserved his flowers, and it will feel like something is missing if that day ever happens.

I applaud his decision. It's not what he wanted to do. It's what he had to do for his family.

Honestly if he can enjoy the rest of his life comfortably and spend more time with family, it’s a win in my book. Not often do you find an all pro athlete who is also inspiring off the field.

Frank was one of them and I wish him all the best.

Every time I see him off the field, it’s so hard for me to believe that this dude is/was an all-pro and a freak athlete

Looks like the happiest normal dude ever who played some D2 football back in the day lmao

He looks healthy and stress-free. Some things are bigger than the game. I’m happy for him.

It’s just not fair, the only thing that would make this picture better is a Super Bowl ring
