The Detroit Lions acquired some help on the edge at this year's NFL trade deadline by acquiring Za'Darius Smith from the Cleveland Browns. Unlike most trade acquisitions, though, Smith didn't suit up for his new team at the first available opportunity, a Sunday Night Football clash with the Houston Texans. The Lions instead chose to give Smith the week off— and the reasoning was all class.
Speaking to the SNF crew after the Lions' epic comeback over the Texans, Smith revealed head coach Dan Campbell was not only insistent that he take the week off because he hadn't had a bye yet, but gave him two days to go to Florida to check on his house that had been hit by a hurricane.
