Allen Park — The benefits of having former players as coaches has been well-documented during Dan Campbell’s tenure. But another example showed itself at the end of mandatory minicamp, when wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle El was asked about how Amon-Ra St. Brown has vocalized that he wants to be a bigger downfield threat than

As the number in the win column begins to grow, it turns out the numbers in the checkbook aren’t too shabby either. In a three-year salary cap evaluation, the Detroit Lions ranked fifth in the league based on draft capital and available cap space. Pro Football Focus’s Brad Spielberger broke it down into five categories…
The first round of the Detroit Lions’ 2023 NFL Draft was a whirlwind. The team was widely panned for breaking one of the analytics crowd’s cardinal rules: drafting a running back in the first round. Not only did they do that, but they were the second team to do that—acquiring Jahmyr Gibbs—who many believed to…

Allen Park — Like Jameson Williams last year, intriguing Detroit Lions draft pick Hendon Hooker can’t do much during his first offseason in the pros. And yet, Lions quarterbacks coach Mark Brunell said at the end of mandatory minicamp the No. 68 pick’s “great work ethic” is already on full display. “If he didn’t have
It’s only been a few weeks since I have written or said it aloud, so here we go. Never in my life have the Detroit Lions had this much positive discourse surrounding them during an offseason. However, has there been too much? Mike Jones of The Athletic takes a look at why the Lions might…
If the Detroit Lions intend on taking the next step as an organization in 2023, the team’s defense will need to perform at a much higher level than it did a year ago. In order for that to occur, the defense’s “X-factors” will need to be consistently productive all throughout the upcoming campaign. Let’s take
The vibes are extremely positive right now, as the Detroit Lions appear primed for their best season in quite some time. It all makes sense on paper, from the coaching staff to the eventual 53-man roster, as the front office has been intentional about plugging in any gaps and overhauling the areas that needed the…
Allen Park — A win over the Green Bay Packers last November snapped a five-game losing streak, but did little to suggest better days were ahead for a Detroit Lions’ team that moved to 2-6 on the season with the victory. Quarterback Jared Goff threw for a season-low 137 yards in the contest, while the
A couple weeks ago, the third annual Tight End University event happened and Detroit Lions rookie Sam LaPorta was one of many NFL tight ends in attendance. Tight End University is an annual summit in Nashville founded by All-Pro tight ends Travis Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen to help tight ends develop their skills…
The Detroit Lions’ final selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, running back Jermar Jefferson, made the active roster as a rookie with high hopes of solidifying a spot at RB3 on the depth chart. While inactive for roughly half his games his rookie season, he flashed when given the opportunity, scoring a touchdown in each…
Elsewhere in the division, the Vikings went 13-4 last year…with a negative point differential (-3). That was thanks to 11 one-score wins, including one over the Lions that Campbell practically gave them in Week 3 by losing his typical aggressiveness. That fortune is set to correct this year. Even if the Vikings’ defense is naturally
Last year, the Detroit Lions were one of the most surprisingly good offenses in the league, leading them to be a sneaky good resource for fantasy football options. By standard scoring, Jared Goff was the 10th best fantasy quarterback, while Amon-Ra St. Brown was ninth among receivers, and Jamaal Williams was seventh among running backs.
EA Sports is set to release Madden 24 a little over a month from now, the latest in the annual series of NFL football games. That’s nothing new, though. What is new is the revamped NCAA Football game that is on track to be released in 2024, but may get tied up in legal complications…
Miraculously, the Detroit Tigers are just a few games behind in their division and have a legitimate chance to win the American League Central Division, despite being almost 10 games below .500. And they’re just now getting healthy. But that got us thinking, which Detroit team has the most winnable division in their sport? Now,
Allen Park — It was supposed to be a big offseason for Jameson Williams. In a lot of ways, it still was — but after missing all of his first rookie training camp and a majority of his first season, many were hopeful this summer would give him enough time on task to explode instantly
The lovefest for the Lions was a feast for a time. It’s still out there, you can still find those who enjoy the feel-good story of the Detroit Lions turning into the hot newness to chase, the cool kids with the opened button shirt and graphic tee. Maybe even a skateboard? Alas, the nerds are…
