So far, we have explored questions surrounding the quarterback position and today we dive into the running backs group.
The Detroit Lions have found a great wide receiver in Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has blossomed from a fourth-round pick in 2021 to an All-Pro worthy of a record-setting contract extension. He headlines a Lions WR corps that grades out well overall in Pro Football Focus metrics. Rookies are not included in this compilation from
Our 2024 Detroit LIons roster preview series rolls on with another key member of the best position group on the roster—newly acquired right guard Kevin Zeitler. Entering year 13, the former Wisconsin Badger has been of the most consistent interior offensive linemen in the entire NFL. Since entering the league in 2012 after being drafted…
Former Lions cornerback Cam Sutton now has his NFL punishment stemming from the March domestic incident that led Detroit to cut the veteran starter. The league’s decision to mete out some harsh punishment on Sutton could be a boon to the Lions in their ongoing battle with their disgraced former player. Sutton was suspended by
A report from NFL Network surfaced on Monday that former Detroit Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton has been suspended for the first eight games of the 2024 season without pay due to a violation of the league’s Personal Conduct Policy. This offseason, Sutton was involved in a dispute that originally resulted in a felony domestic battery…
For most Lions fans, draft night in Detroit was the first introduction to the type of personality the team was getting in first-round cornerback Terrion Arnold. The Lions selected a confident young man who is clearly comfortable playing to a crowd with an earnest vigor that plays very well. A couple of recent social media
The Lions made it a priority to rebuild their cornerback room after allowing the sixth-most passing yards per game (247.4) in the league last season. This offseason, Detroit traded for Carlton Davis III, signed Amik Robertson and Emmanuel Moseley in free agency and selected Terrion Arnold (first-round pick) and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. (second-round pick) in

One of the more common suggestions this offseason for the Detroit Lions is a desire to bring in a free agent safety to help bolster the back end of the secondary. With Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch both missing the spring activities with injuries, Detroit’s lack of proven depth at safety really stands out on
Hello, fellow Detroit Lions fans! My name is Max Gerber and I am very excited to be joining the team over here at Pride of Detroit as both a writer and an editor. My journey into sports writing started back in 2016 when I decided to create a Twitter account specifically for Detroit Lions content.…
Improving in the secondary was a priority for the Lions this offseason, and as a result, the team has several new faces in place at the cornerback position. Trade acquisition Carlton Davis III is, to no surprise, expected to handle a first-team defensive role in 2024. The other perimeter starting spot is yet to be
The Detroit Lions scored bug when they were able to get Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold with the 24th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Lions got him about 12 spots lower than he was expected to go. One of the big reasons he’s a score is his work ethic. Since the Lions took a
The college football season is coming really fast. It’ll be here before the NFL season starts. Technically it starts next week when EA Sports releases the College Football 25 video game and that will be just about all anyone does for the next month or so. Pro Football Focus’ draft expert Trevor Sikkema put out
Last year was a big year for the Detroit Lions. They had five players get All-Pro honors. Amon-Ra St, Brown, Sam Laporta, Penei Sewell, Frank Ragnow and Jalen Reeves-Maybin were all selected for the first times in their career. They all have a chance to make it there again in 2024, but we think they’ll
Training camp is less than three weeks away, and football is right around the corner. For as long as the offseason has lasted, it’s easy to forget about the contributions from a year ago in the excitement of what’s on the horizon for these young and uber-talented Detroit Lions. Jahmyr Gibbs galvanized fans with his…
Star pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson understands his Detroit Lions are no longer flying under the radar after the club was a win away from playing in the Super Bowl this past winter. “It’s unreal. There’s a lot of hype coming into this year, but I think it’s well-deserved hype,” Hutchinson recently told Eric Woodyard of ESPN. “I think

With weeks still remaining until training camp, the thirst for NFL action grows. Perhaps your fantasy football league has had its initial draft. Perhaps you have made your way-too-early bets on the upcoming MVP or Super Bowl champion. Perhaps you are breaking down the status of the roster for the season to come. Perhaps you…
When the 2020 season ended and Lions owner Sheila Hamp kicked off the franchise overhaul, the team was in a very bad place. Radical changes needed to happen to everything, from the front office to the coaching staff, right down to almost every player in the starting lineup. It took a little time, but that
