The Detroit Lions are hoping to take the next steps into contention in the years ahead, and if they do, Isaiah Buggs wants to say he was in on the ground floor.
Buggs re-signed with the Lions just ahead of free agency on a two-year deal that will pay him around $6 million dollars. For Buggs, though, this situation in Detroit clearly wasn’t about the money.
After news of the signing was revealed on the internet on Monday, March 13, Buggs showed up with a tweet that revealed how excited he is to be making his comeback. It’s obvious that he likes playing for the Lions in a big way.

“Let’s Goo,” Buggs when he logged back on Twitter and saw the news of his deal being leaked in the media.
Later, Buggs got even more fired up with a different tweet, simply saying that he loves the Motor City.

“Detroit I Love You. Let’s Work,” Buggs
If Buggs seemed excited on the internet to return, when speaking with the media, he was even more fired up. As Buggs explained to reporters including Tim Twentyman, he was motivated to return to Detroit because he believes in what is being built and thinks he could be a leader for the team.
Buggs said he re-signed in Detroit to be part of what he thinks is something great being built. He said he wanted to be in a place where he fit in and could be a leader.

Hearing that praise from a player is telling, and only serves to prove that the Lions could be heading toward a very bright future. It’s good for the team to be cultivating a culture where their players want to stay and feel like a major fit.
Buggs might be the one player that exemplifies this factor the most.
