Year 2 is always an important season for players looking to take their games to another level and that couldn’t be closer to the truth for Lions second-year cornerback Brian Branch. Detroit’s second-round pick from a year ago made an immediate impact as a rookie, registering 74 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, three interceptions,
It wasn’t long ago when linebacker Shaquille Leonard was one of the best defensive players in the entire NFL. He won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award in 2018 and then followed that up with four All-Pro seasons for the Colts. Then a concussion and back surgery in 2022 ended that elite run. Leonard
Bears While first-round QB Caleb Williams has been impressive in the early stages of offseason practices, Bears HC Matt Eberflus specifically mentioned snap cadence as something he wants to see Williams improve. “I thought today was his best day with [the cadence], actually,” Eberflus said, via ESPN’s Courtney Cronin. “In the huddle, he was crisp

Training camp could be the

He went undrafted in 2016 to the Denver Broncos and bounced around from the New York Jets, New York Giants
The Detroit Lions are all about getting their guys and then paying their guys. We saw that big time this offseason with massive extensions for Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Penei Sewell. It’s probably safe to assume that more deals are coming for players and that the team will look to sign some more
Quietly, the Detroit Lions still have a roster spot open on the 90-man roster. While there is no requirement for the Lions to carry a full roster to training camp, there’s little reason for Detroit to pass on the opportunity to fill the entire roster. Salary cap space is not an issue, so why not…
Despite the data from the last decade or so, the Detroit Lions bucked several trends last offseason by investing in the running back position. First, they signed veteran running back David Montgomery to a three-year, $18M deal. Montgomery is a powerfully-built, shifty runner who is capable of shrugging off arm-tackles and making defenders miss in…
Four years ago today, on June 23rd of 2020, Sheila Ford Hamp took over as the principal owner of the Detroit Lions. Hamp took the reins that day from her mother, Martha Firestone Ford, who had run the Lions since her late husband’s death in 2014. In looking back on that fateful day, the initial
With the Detroit Lions comfortably into their summer break, there’s not a lot of information coming out of Allen Park these days, so we recently asked fans to submit questions about the organization. We will be using some of those questions for upcoming podcasts (Detroit Lions Breakdown and Good Morning Pride), but we also wanted…
