“I planned this for about four months, you have to order all of the stuff and it takes a while to get here,” Gibbs explained.
The Detroit Lions running back then confirmed that teammate, Aidan Hutchinson, was the host of this year’s Halloween party.
Gibbs said, “Hutch, it was his first time too, first time hosting…it was a good crowd.”
The Detroit Lions celebrate Halloween each year with a team party and each player takes a turn hosting the event.
