The Detroit Lions will enter the 2021 NFL regular season with several questions swirling about their new front office, coaching staff, and their quarterback under center. This is far from the Same Old Lions, yet the end results could be far too familiar. For now, the new faces working for the Motor City Leos are

In the last few weeks, it’s been all about the wide receivers and which one pairs best with the Detroit Lions. In last week’s round up, Alabama’s Jaylen Waddle was connected to Detroit more than DeVonta Smith (Alabama) and La’Marr Chase (LSU) combined, with players at other positions being left in the distance. This week,
The other day, I mentioned that Detroit’s approach in free agency thus far did little, if anything, to impact their approach to the 2021 NFL Draft. The Lions new general manager, Brad Holmes, has decided to play the long game when it comes to this rebuild by signing players to one-year contracts and keeping the
Legendary University of Michigan coach Bo Schembechler wrote a book (along with John U. Bacon) about the fundamentals of leadership called “Bo’s lasting lessons”. The book’s first chapter begins with what Schembechler believes to be the most important factor in being a leader. “Let’s start with first things first: passion,” Schembechler wrote. “Because without that,
After signing veterans Corn Elder last week and Quinton Dunbar and Dean Marlowe this week, the Lions should be finished with free agency moves heading into the draft. The addition of Marlowe indicates the team is unlikely to continue pursuing former Broncos safety Will Parks. As pointed out by our Jeremy Reisman, Marlowe has a
Akil Baddoo’s debut would be a great story even if the Detroit Tigers were the defending champs and the other big four teams here had made recent deep playoff runs, too. Not many longshot prospects hit the first big-league pitch they ever see over the fence and follow that up with a grand slam and
Thursday night, we continued our Thursday Night Mock Draft series, in which several Pride of Detroit staffers team up to do a live mock draft on our YouTube and Twitch channels. Together, we created our own Lions war room and fired up The Draft Network’s Mock Draft Machine. This week, myself, Ryan Mathews and John
Nothing is set it stone, but the Detroit Lions seem to be in a great spot heading into the NFL Draft. With at least three — possibly four, or maybe even five?! — quarterbacks all but certain to be off the board by the seventh pick, the Lions seemed destined to have most of the
If the Detroit Lions are going to have any chance to be competitive this upcoming season, they’ll need to come away with a stellar draft class as several young Leos will need to contribute immediately and play major roles. None more important than the first-round selection. Owning the seventh overall pick in the draft, the
Bob Quinn caught heat last spring when he used the No. 3 pick of the NFL draft on Jeff Okudah. For most Detroit Lions fans, the problem wasn’t that Quinn took Okudah but that he used the No. 3 pick at all. Trade down, people pleaded, and while it was true the Lions could have
Watch the first episode of 2021’s Inside the Den series featuring the arrival of executive vice president and general manager Brad Holmes, head coach Dan Campbell and quarterback Jared Goff. Go behind-the-scenes as the new coaches tour Ford Field as well as a Ford Motor Company production plant watching brand new F-150’s come off the
Hindsight is 2020 but what would the Detroit Lions have done differently in the 2020 NFL Draft if they could? With this year’s draft just a few weeks away, Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon suggests who each team would have selected — knowing what they know today. For example, he suggests the Washington Football Team would
Entering this offseason, the Detroit Lions had several questions at the safety position. And through the first few weeks of free agency, the Lions had yet to address them. Detroit figured once again to wait until the NFL draft later this month to do so. After all, their current duo of projected starting safeties was
Detroit’s overall strategy in free agency has done little to impact the way they’ll approach this year’s NFL Draft. With a bunch of one-year contracts being handed out this offseason—Tyrell Williams, Josh Hill, Alex Anzalone, Corn Elder, and most recently Dean Marlowe just to name a few—Detroit’s long-term plan at a variety of positions is
The Lions added more depth in the secondary Thursday, announcing the free-agent signing of safety Dean Marlowe, who spent the last three seasons with the Buffalo Bills. Marlowe, 28, has mostly played in a backup role and on special teams in the NFL since making the Carolina Panthers roster as an undrafted rookie in 2015.
Dan Campbell said the Detroit Lions‘ plan in free agency was to make sure they had enough depth at every position so general manager Brad Holmes did not feel forced into taking a position in this month’s NFL draft. On Thursday, the Lions filled one of their last remaining needs in the secondary, signing former
For much of this offseason, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has been given praise for his recruiting skills, both when it comes to amassing a coaching staff and free agency players. However, at least one NFL player turned down some interest from Campbell and the Lions. Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson told
The Miami Dolphins are back on the clock in our 2021 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. With the sixth pick in the draft, acting Dolphins general manager jjones164 selected Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons. With a big playmaker on defense already in tow, what will he do with the Dolphins’ second pick, 18th overall
After a free agency visit on Wednesday, former Bills safety Dean Marlowe has officially signed with the Detroit Lions, the team announced on Thursday morning. Marlowe went undrafted in 2015, but spent a few years with the Carolina Panthers in mostly a special teams role. In the past three years, however, he expanded his role
The Detroit Lions have a chance to something special right now. With Matthew Stafford gone, and just about everyone else along with him, the Lions find themselves in the perfect position to rebuild in a completely different way. For years, most teams have operated under the same old form. Let’s go out and draft a
