The Detroit Lions have a man that's committed in Matthew Stafford not just to the team but the community as a whole.

Stafford, who was in East Lansing on Monday at an elementary school as part of the NFL's Play 60 campaign interacting with kids, took time out afterward to speak about his looming contract situation and what he wants for his long-term future.

"I want to play for as long as I possibly can and would love to be able to stay in one spot," Stafford says in the clip. "That's kind of rare these days, and really the only position that gets that chance is quarterback, so it would be a lot of fun. We'll see where that goes."

Stafford also said in the piece that he wants to get a deal done with the Lions soon. Where things currently stand is anybody's guess, but the word for a while has been that the sides are still in the beginning stages of talking deal.

It should be comforting to Lions fans that Stafford remains all-in with the team and wants to cement himself in Detroit lore by sticking around and trying to build something special.
