Lions sign Robert Ayers to one-year deal, could this have been who the Detroit limo driver really saw not Khalil Mack?

There’s an obvious joke here I’m not going to make, but the most recent hysteria surrounding Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack comes from a Detroit radio personality who said a Detroit limo driver told him he gave Khalil Mack a ride to team headquarters.

A lot of people have laughed as this tweet has made the rounds. Some have noted that this would be tampering unless the Raiders gave Mack permission to make the visit — something that seems unlikely they would do. But some have really ran with it.

Then the morning came. And the Lions signed a defensive end. Just not Mack.

Could this be a case of mistaken identity? Let’s see here. Both are 6-3. Ayers is listed at 273 pounds and Mack is 252 pounds.

I’ll let you be the judge if the limo driver got the two mixed up. But this seems like pretty solid evidence to suggest he did.
