Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is set to take part in what could be the most emotional game of his career. He’ll lead his team against the Detroit Lions—his former team—on Sunday in the wild-card round in what will be nothing short of an epic homecoming for the 35-year-old at Ford Field.
Stafford was selected by the Lions with the No. 1 pick in the 2009 NFL draft, and ever since then, he has garnered a reputation for being one of the best gunslingers in the league—so much so that he was the quarterback behind three of the greatest receiving seasons in NFL history.
With Stafford poised to face his previous team, let’s look back and admire his longstanding tradition of getting his star teammates the ball again and again.
