Matthew Stafford and Chase Daniel are a camp counselor reunion

Matthew Stafford and Chase Daniel are reunited in Detroit 12 years after being counselors together at the Elite11 camp

When the Detroit Lions are finally allowed to reconvene at team headquarters in Allen Park, there will be no need for a formal introduction between Matthew Stafford and his new backup at quarterback, Chase Daniel. They go back. Way back, in fact…

The Lions unearthed a photo of the two from their time together in 2008 as counselors for a popular camp for aspiring young QBs. Stafford was in college at Georgia at the time, while Daniel led the offense at Missouri.

From the team’s Instagram:

In 2008, the QBs served as counselors at the @elite11 camp, the nation’s premier competition for high school QBs. #TBT
