You have certainly seen the videos popping up online this week. 

Detroit Lions Brad Holmes, Dan Campbell and Dan Skipper all walking out to a see of people, excited with hip-hop music playing in the background. 

A new AI-generated tool has been utilized excessively this weekend to insert famous people or anyone into a real life video.

The video being used as the background is of artist Lil Yachty performing in front of a sea of fans. 

Fans posting the transformed videos online have had their fun, including creating videos with new Michigan State head football coach Jonathan Smith, the Joker and popular media personalities. 

This weekend, Detroit's fourth-year head coach is celebrating his 48th birthday.

Jared Goff being traded to Lions best thing to happen to him

Detroit's starting quarterback expressed this week during an interview being traded away from the Los Angeles Rams was indeed jarring, but after processing what happened and speaking to the Lions front office and coaching staff, he understood the opportunity for redemption was achievable. 

"Being shipped off and sent to a place to die, essentially, is what a lot of people think it was. And I was never going to allow that to happen," Goff said on the Trading Cards podcast. "I’m fortunate enough to be around a lot of good coaches and players in Detroit who support me and help me reach my potential."

The veteran signal-caller was made to feel like he was going to be an integral part of the rebuild, an opportunity the 29-year-old relished. 

"That lasted for quite some time, but very soon after that was the feeling of opportunity in Detroit. That was really the overwhelming emotion once I got to talk to Dan and Brad and got to get out there to Detroit and really see the city and get to experience it," said Goff. "The feeling of like, OK, this is the ground floor, they’re breaking this all the way down to the studs and they’re going to build it back up and I’m going to get to be on the ground floor with them."
