RENTON, Wash. — Ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions tight end Luke Willson still has his time in Seattle on his mind.
Seattle-area media members who arrived at the VMAC on Wednesday were greeted with desserts sent by Willson to show his appreciation for his five years in Seattle.
In addition to the desserts, Willson left the following note:
“Seattle Media,
My 5 years in Seattle were some of the best of my life and you guys were a big part of that. I appreciate the working relationship we had together and your role in covering our team. I can’t even imagine how much you all miss me. Enjoy some desserts on me, it’s the least that I could do. Travel safe and see you on Sunday.
Travel safe and see you on Sunday.
-Luke Willson”
So right when I arrive to @Seahawks headquarters ... I see this. Thank you @LWillson_82 Luke knows we all miss “Techno Thursday” at the VMAC! #SEAvsDET #Seattle #Seahawks #NFL pic.twitter.com/6PWLPFGIFX
