Grant Stuard could have signed with a team that didn’t have an established linebacker room like Detroit’s with maybe a clearer path to seeing the field on defense, but the veteran said one word really stood out to him in deciding to sign with the Lions — culture.
“Culture, immediately,” he said Thursday after signing his one-year contract with Detroit. “From watching Detroit, playing against them (last season with Colts), my family rooting for them ever since Dan Campbell has been here. I’m a guy that loves to work hard. I love to improve. I love to be coached. I’m really big on just being the best version of myself every single day and I feel like this is an environment that’s super conducive to that.”
Stuard comes to Detroit after playing the last three seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. He’s played both defense and special teams, the latter being where’s he’s made the most impact. In fact, he’s recorded over 1,000 career snaps on special teams, 342 of which came this past season — 88 on kick coverage, 94 on kick return, 70 on punt coverage, 53 on punt return and 37 on field goal/extra point block.
