By Daniel Marcillo
The Detroit Lions are in pretty good hands with Matthew Stafford at quarterback, but they let someone else take the reigns at the goal line during training camp on Friday.

14-year-old Calder Hodge received the unique opportunity to deliver a pass to an NFL receiver. Hodge threw a perfect pass to Marvin Jones Jr. in the back of the end zone, in a moment he will never forget.
Hodge was greeted and surrounded by all the Lions players after the touchdown as they all congratulated him. As he walked off the field, he also received praise from the other Lions coaches as well.

He is not a one-time act either. Hodge has dreams of playing at a higher level as he gets older and he has not let anything set him back.
The kid is certainly confident in his ability to play the quarterback position as well. Either way, Hodge provides a tremendous story and is an inspiration to us all.
