A former Spartan spotted in Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams’ touchdown celebration on Sunday

The Detroit Lions absolutely drubbed the Jacksonville Jaguars inside of Ford Field on Sunday afternoon. A good day for those Lions fans in the Spartans fan base. It was also a good day for a noted Michigan State alumnus.

During a celebratory leap into the stands by Lions wide receivers Amon Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, they were seen jumping into the seats of a former Spartan and Detroit Red Wing, Justin Abdelkader.

Abdelkader is known as a Stanley Cup winner with the Red Wings, while winning a National Championship at MSU.
