The NFL season is finally starting! 

Thursday night, the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles open the season against the Falcons and on the fourth day of Kickoff With Cabbie, he met up with a player from an NFC team.

Lions wideout Golden Tate is Matthew Stafford's favourite target and he's had two-straight 1000-yard seasons for Detroit.  The Lions missed the playoffs last season, though, and Tate and company are looking to get back to the postseason.

Aside from being passionate about football, Tate is also extremely passionate about fishing and Cabbie brought the perfect item for Tate to use on his next fishing trip.

 

"Showtime Tate" will now look good on the water and on the field making catches this upcoming season for the Lions.
