PHOTO: Lions' Burleson receives free pizza for a year

Detroit Lions wide receiver Nate Burleson, who broke his arm in a single-vehicle accident after attempting to save a falling pizza box, won't have to pay for another pizza for the next year.

Burleson posted this photo to Instagram on Sunday displaying a year's supply of coupons he received from DiGiorno Pizza along with a letter sent from the company. The image was accompanied by the hashtag #NoMoreLateNightPizzaRuns. 

The letter reads:

"Hello Nate, We hope you are feeling better after your recent car accident and are on the road to recovery. DiGiorno Pizza understands the challenges that come with carry out and delivery pizza so we're sending you a gift along with a year supply of DiGorno pizza so you can skip carry out."

Burleson expects to return after the Lions' Week 9 bye.
