VIDEO: Stafford throws passes off ESPN roof
Posted: 02/13/2012
BRISTOL, Conn. (WXYZ) - Matthew Stafford threw 421 passes during the 2011 season.
Those were all to professional wide receivers, running backs and tight ends.
Last week, he took his game to new heights, albeit passing to some lesser known personalities.
After sitting down for a live interview on SportsCenter Friday, it's now apparent why the Lions quarterback was really in Bristol.
He was taping one of the station's infamous "This is SportsCenter" commercials.
Stafford spent part of the afternoon tossing Nike footballs off the roof of an ESPN building.
Employees in the video are shown chasing down Stafford's passes, with some fun music to magnify the catches -- and drops they made.
