2. KJ Hamler’s personality

Where do we think KJ Hamler gets his personality from? Remember, this is the guy who receives a personalized rap and dance video from his parents once a year on his birthday. Every year, Hamler shares the video on Twitter, and we’re always reminded where he gets it from.

You can tell just how outgoing Hamler is with his subtle celebrations after scoring a touchdown. We’ve also heard about his ‘diva-ish’ personality on the field from his own wide receivers coach. However, it is necessary to point out that everybody within the Lions’ locker room doesn’t see his personality as a problem. In fact, it lightens up the mood.

Every year for HBO’s Hard Knocks, there is a player who just steals the show and gets all of the attention. If we had to put money on it — KJ Hamler is going to be that guy for the second episode of the series next month. He’s just got that ‘it’ factor when it comes to his game and his character.
