We continue our Detroit Lions start, bench and cut series this week with a look at the running backs. So far we’ve done receivers, the defensive line and the secondary. Let’s jump into it. Start Since the Lions have a two headed monster in David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, there really isn’t a starter per
Former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker is shaking off the rust as he enters his second season with the Detroit Lions. Hooker, a third round selection by the Lions in the 2023 NFL Draft, didn’t appear in any games as a rookie last season while he recovered from the torn ACL that he suffered in
It’s been a lot of fun being optimistic about the Detroit Lions in the last few years. This team has drafted well, they’ve signed well , coached well and they’ve played well. We’re a long way away from the Matt Patricia days. At this point, the Lions are expected to be one of the few
Expectations were always going to be sky-high for Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson. After attending high school at Divine Child in Dearborn, Hutchinson followed that up with a historic career at the University of Michigan. That led to Hutchinson being selected second overall in the 2022 NFL Draft by the Lions, completing what could…
Brodric Martin didn’t play much as a rookie in 2023. Despite being a third-round pick by the Lions out of Western Kentucky, Martin was a healthy scratch for far more games than he played, even though Detroit’s defensive line lacked depth and oomph. That should change in 2024 thanks to a changed Martin. He’s visibly
Being able to progress through their reads is a key component of every NFL quarterback’s game. It was also one of the key potential concerns surrounding Detroit Lions second-year quarterback Hendon Hooker when he entered the NFL Draft in 2023. Now, a year into his NFL career, Lions coach Dan Campbell has been happy to…
Many NFL analysts and insiders strongly believed Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson would be a head coach on another team right now. Johnson has certainly had opportunities, with Carolina and Washington this past offseason and also with the Panthers and Texans, and perhaps the Colts, a year earlier. Yet Johnson has turned all the
On the plane ride back from the Detroit Lions’ gut-wrenching loss to the San Francisco 49ers, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson’s mind wandered about his future. Johnson had just completed one of the most impressive seasons in Lions history. He had already conducted a few head coaching interviews, and more awaited him when the plane touched…

For a second straight offseason, Ben Johnson exited the coaching carousel to keep his offensive coordinator post in Detroit. After being viewed as the leader for the Panthers’ HC job in 2023, Johnson had been in position as the front-runner to replace Ron Rivera with the Commanders. Shortly after the NFC Championship Game, Commanders brass received word — while
Last week during the first week of OTAs, the Detroit Lions offense looked like it had some significant rust. They opened 11-on-11s with three straight incompletions, a near interception, and a draw play that went nowhere. Soon after, Jameson Williams dropped a big pass, and while the offense eventually recovered, it was more bad than…
This is not the first time that Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins and the Detroit Lions have been mentioned in the same sentence this offseason. Before the 2024 NFL Draft, Ringer analyst Ben Solak suggested that the Lions trade their 29th pick away for Higgins. At the time that seemed like a good idea since everything
