The Detroit Lions made a relatively impactful move this week, releasing C.J. Anderson and promoting Ty Johnson to be the primary backup to Kerryon Johnson.
CJ Anderson found out about being released over a phone call.
He was in the middle of speaking to children.
He was sharing his remarkable personal story, which involved growing up in Vallejo, California, and never knowing his father; having a live-in uncle who sold drugs, etc.
