Dre Bly returns to Detroit 4 years later

Posted Aug 9, 2010
At 33, Dre Bly doesn't have the same athletic abilities that he had coming out of North Carolina in 1999, but he thinks that his experience more than makes up for it. "I haven't lost my ball skills, and I have better instincts from playing in the league for this long," he said. "I was never a blazer to begin with, so that was never the main ingredient to my game. I think I can help this team and make plays." (Raleigh News & Observer)
