While the National Football League and its players continue to fight for ground in a potential Collective Bargaining Agreement, one of the brightest young prospects in the game continues to prepare for an eventual season. The Detroit Lions cannot make contact with any of their players while they are locked out, but that hasn’t stopped them from gathering news on franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford. Stafford is currently recovering from surgery on his right throwing shoulder, and the Lions have received a couple of indications that he is on his way back to form in the weeks leading up to the Kentucky derby betting.

The Lions followed reports from a charity event that was part of Georgia’s spring game, where Stafford was seen throwing balls through a tire. General manager Martin Mayhew has been monitoring the situation from a distance, and will continue to do so with such a valuable commodity to the organization. Stafford has earned just three wins through 12 NFL starts, but although his winning percentage ranks among the worst for quarterbacks drafted with the first overall pick, he has shown signs of being able to lead the Lions’ turnaround. The franchise has struggled to become a contender over the past couple of online sports betting seasons, but a healthy Stafford will go a long way to getting back. Stafford threw for six touchdowns compared to just one interception in three games in 2010, for a 91.3 passer rating.
