On Thursday morning, Holmes, alongside assistant general manager Ray Agnew, spoke with reporters for nearly half an hour after the Lions finalized their 53-man roster and announced the practice squad this week. Both men shared positive stories about their interactions with fans since coming to Detroit, with Holmes noting that it’s been “completely different than (anything) I’ve ever experienced in my entire life.”
Toward the end of that response, Holmes made a comment that resonated deeply with Detroiters when it surfaced on social media. “We’ve truly embraced the city,” Holmes told reporters. “I don’t have the pair of glasses yet, but I’m going to get some soon.”
