Matthew Stafford: From Searching for Money for Burritos to $41 Million
1-liner, NFL April 28th. 2009, 5:15pmMatthew Stafford: “‘Every time I hear that number, [$41 million] I just kind of laugh,’ Shaun Chapas, Stafford’s former Georgia teammate and roommate, said Monday. ‘Because a few months ago he was wondering if he had enough money left on a gift card to afford another $7 burrito at Barbarito’s.’” Also, the top pick will wear No. 9 in Detroit. His lucky No. 7 (worn in high school and college) is retired. Nine isn’t totally jinxed; Rodney Peete was average with the Lions in the early 1990s. (AJC)
