OMG, Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy stands on a moving plane

It makes sense that NFL players are thrill seekers. You don't go through the adrenaline rush of playing on Sundays in the fall and then sit at home all offseason and watch old movies.

That's why Tom Brady was giving New England Patriots fans a heart attack by cliff diving. But Brady's rush looks like playing in the kiddie pool compared to Detroit Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy's mode of offseason relaxation.

Someone turned off the "Fasten Seat Belts" sign on Levy's flight, so he went up to the top of the old Red Baron propeller biplane and took in the flight from there. Here's what he posted to his Instagram account:

Whoa. I don't think the flight attendant would approve of that.

Levy likes to adventure; his Instagram feed is full of fun travel photos. Levy has become one of the most productive linebackers in the NFL, with 151 tackles last season and 119 tackles and six interceptions the season before that, and now we know a secret of his success: He's not afraid of much.
