Lions' Glover Quin defends 'God' comment concerning Jordy Nelson's injury

[joeybee12]

ALLEN PARK, Mich. - Detroit Lions safety Glover Quin defended himself Tuesday after his comment about the injury to Packers receiver Jordy Nelson and the will of God caused a backlash in social media.

Quin, when asked Monday about Nelson's injury, said he respected Nelson and hated to see him hurt. But as part of the answer, Quin also said "God had meant for Jordy to be hurt." The comment was part of a bigger answer on what Quin believes about how and why injuries happen.

Quin clarified his comment Tuesday, saying he didn't believe he said anything that would have caused a backlash, but "obviously, it upset a whole bunch of people."

Among those who reacted to Quin's comments were Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who retweeted a comment from Brian Baumgartner, an actor from the TV show "The Office," about Quin's comments.

If he played O, he could get himself traded to Philly and play with St. Timmeh.
