Tyrell Crosby takes in the FC Barcelona experience

Lions offensive tackle Tyrell Crosby got the VIP treatment touring the facilities of FC Barcelona during his offseason trip to Spain

Detroit Lions offensive lineman Tyrell Crosby is doing what many NFL players do in the dead time of their offseason. Crosby is decompressing from the long campaign by traveling to other parts of the world.

One of his stops is bound to make fúbtol fans jealous. Crosby was a special guest of FC Barcelona in Spain, one of the world’s most successful soccer franchises. Crosby got a guided tour of their impressive stadium, VIP treatment and a customized Barcelona jersey with his Lions No. 65.

“It’s such an honor to be hosted by FC Barcelona,” the wide-eyed Crosby says, clearly enthused by the experience. “This is unreal. Blown away by the size of this, how amazing this is.”

He continued his tour of southern Europe with a stop in Portugal. Follow along with his travels on Twitter @Tyrellcrosby.
