You just never know who is going to show up at training camp practices around the NFL, and we saw that first hand during the Detroit Lions' second session of training camp on Thursday, as a wrestling legend was in attendance.
That wrestling legend was none other than Hulk Hogan, who was rocking one of his own shirts and, rightly, a blue bandana on his head.
He also got a chance to meet up with Lions head coach Dan Campbell in what was a meeting of two of the bigger human beings on this planet.
As you'd expect, Hogan absolutely endorsed the idea that Campbell would have been a great wrestler, and he has a nickname for the Lions head coach: "Dirty Dan".

Hogan also shot a quick video, which we're sure the Lions will post to social media later. Campbell very much approved of it.

The Hulkster wasn't the only notable name at Lions practice on Thursday, as world champion boxer Claressa Shields was in the house. She also brought her own hardware with her.
