Matthew Stafford has welcomed the idea of being selected by the winless Loins with the No. 1 overall pick in April's NFL Draft. In a Sports Illustrated profile for an issue that hits newsstands on Wednesday, Stafford was interviewed by Peter King. "I'm being completely honest, and it has nothing to do with money -- I would love to go to Detroit," Stafford told King. "My friends say, 'C'mon, gimme a break.' But I'm a competitive guy. The Lions have passionate fans, a great stadium, and I'd be throwing to the biggest freak (Calvin Johnson), with the most talent, of any receiver in the NFL."
