We all dream about that one dream free agent that we know would fit perfectly with the team. The exact scenario came true when General Manager Brad Holmes persuaded C.J. Gardner-Johnson to don the Honolulu blue and sign a deal with the Detroit Lions. Gardner-Johnson was another chess piece added in a series of moves by Holmes to shore up a weak secondary. So far through camp, Gardner-Johnson is everything the organization and Lions fans have hoped for.
Gardner-Johnson plays with such veracity and intensity on the field that it is very hard to miss him. If he is not the one making a play, he will sure be trying to get inside the opponent’s heads to a point they fear coming anywhere near him because of the hammer he might bring. It was evident during the first joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he made a couple of big blows that some of the Jaguars didn’t take so kindly, but he isn’t worried about other people’s feelings.
