Carlos Monarrez of the Detroit Free Press,

Justin Coleman had no idea who Gordie Howe was.

But somehow, before the Detroit Lions cornerback had any idea he would end up playing in the same city as the late Red Wings legend and hockey icon known as Mr. Hockey, he was drawn to Howe’s jersey.

This happened in Seattle, where Coleman played for the Seahawks from 2017-18. Coleman grew up in Georgia and he isn’t a hockey fan. He’s never even been to a game....

The funny thing is Coleman never bothered to investigate whose jersey he was wearing before he arrived in Detroit. He freely admits he’s a neophyte and barely knows anything about hockey or its players. Just imagine how fraught with danger his uninformed purchase was.
