The Detroit Lions media gets a bad rap for being hateful or “running players out of town.” And while that may be true of some outlets, I continue to preach that the handful of individuals who cover this team every single day are excellent at their jobs. I may not be completely unbiased in this…
The season is fast approaching, social media teams are gearing up to do jersey countdowns, and you can practically smell the football and it smells pretty gross in a perverted, exciting way.

If you’re new to this series, we go position-by-position through the roster, examining the starting, reserve, and specialty roles, which players are in the competition for which jobs, and…
Riding a late season hot streak and plenty of offseason hype, are the Detroit Lions real challengers for the NFC crown? It may be bold, but the Lions are firmly in the discussion. In mid-February, the Lions were sitting fourth in terms of odds to win the NFC, and little has changed in that regard.…
As our Detroit Lions roster preview series rolls on, we move to the next player that was added via free agency—cornerback Emmanuel Moseley. Moseley, along with cornerbacks Cameron Sutton and C.J. Gardner-Johnson, were three additions made by Lions’ general manager Brad Holmes in an effort to shore up a secondary that has lacked top-end talent…
This past week’s Twentyman in the Huddle episode hosted by the Detroit Lions’ Tim Twentyman featured a 20 minute interview with quality control coach Wayne Blair. The entire episode can be seen on the team’s official YouTube channel or in an embedded player on the team’s website. Blair was added to the defensive coaching staff…
They say in the NFL regular season, each game counts the same. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Week 12 matchup against one of the worst teams in the league, or a “Thursday Night Football” opener against the reigning world champs, they’re all worth one win, loss, or tie.
As we inch closer to training camp, the hype surrounding the Detroit Lions remains at what seems to be an all-time high. The vibes are immaculate, and that is because of the combination of the Lions’ roster improving significantly, along with the rest of the division looking much less threatening than in year’s past. With…
Originally an undrafted free agent out of the University of Arkansas, Detroit Lions’ cornerback Jerry Jacobs’ path to the NFL has been anything but conventional. He began turning heads back in 2021 training camp, and because of injuries decimating the Lions’ cornerback room early in his rookie year, Jacobs was forced onto the field very…
With less than a month to go until the Detroit Lions and other NFL clubs report for training camp, now feels like a good time to examine why we are all here in the first place. Different relationships may vary, but at some level, we all enjoy watching football, and specifically—watching our Lions.
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…
The Pride of Detroit Bubble Watch is a staple of training camp and preseason. In it, Pride of Detroit writers and editors make their pick of which players will be on the roster and which ones sit outside. This list is in constant flux as the regular season approaches, but it also helps illustrate a…
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…
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…
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…
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.
