The Detroit Lions may be getting an unexpected visitor at training camp.

Former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson sent out a tweet Monday asking if any of his followers were available to give him a ride to Lions camp next week.

Johnson's 12-year-old daughter Cha'iel - currently the nation's fastest preteen in the 400-, 800-, and 1,500-meter races - will compete in the Junior Olympics in Detroit next week, which likely explains why he wants to pay the team a visit.

The 39-year-old last appeared in a regular-season NFL game in 2011 as a member of the New England Patriots. He's since had brief stints in the Canadian Football League and Mexican football league.
