Lions DT Benito Jones’ elaborate cowboy outfit paid homage to NFL legend Vince Wilfork

Ahead of the Detroit Lions’ Thursday Night Football away game against the Green Bay Packers, Lions defensive tackle Benito Jones rocked overalls and a cowboy hat, and it reminded us of an NFL legend.

Indeed, Jones wore overalls with no shirt, a cowboy hat and cowboy boots as he got off the bus to head into Lambeau Field.

The look seemingly paid very direct homage to former NFL defensive tackle Vince Wilfork wearing roughly the same outfit on Hard Knocks with the Houston Texans in 2015.

It takes real confidence to sport such an outfit, and Jones followed in Wilfork’s footsteps with style. We’re not fashion experts, but we give this pregame fit an 11/10.

If that doesn’t fire you up if you’re a Lions fan, we’re not sure what will.

Detroit has a chance to go 3-1 against super rival Green Bay on Thursday night, which would be colossal for a franchise that is starved for a contender.

If Jones’ outfit is any hint, it’s about to be a real fun night for Lions fans at Lambeau.
