Cliff Avril is used to being in the background. Avril is smart and funny, but he’s lived most of his Detroit Lions career letting other big-name teammates do the talking (I’m pointing at you Ndamukong Suh).

That’s happened because Avril has been uncharacteristically doing a lot of chatting. He laughs at the irony. “Here’s the thing,” he says, “I keep to myself. I let the other guys do their thing. But I’ll answer a question if someone asks it.”
