Through my near 38 years on this Earth, I’ve seen a lot of rebuilds. Not just with the Detroit Lions, but with NFL teams as whole. A lot of them have no worked out for various reasons. If I had to do a study, I’m sure that I would find that the largest reasons the…
The Detroit Lions have a new tight end in town and he just so happens to come from the same place that their last big-name tight end came from. Sometimes it seems like it’s the only place that tight ends come from. In the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, the Lions selected Iowa’s…
The Detroit Lions walked away from this past weekend’s 2023 NFL Draft a better team; I don’t think there’s much doubt about that. They took what was already one of the most well-rounded rosters in the NFL and added several unique talents to it amidst a slew of trades by general manager Brad Holmes. While…
Without a doubt, the Detroit Lions were viewed as one of the biggest “losers” in Day 1 of the 2023 NFL Draft. Though they had two first-round picks—and selected two highly-graded players—many believed Detroit’s mistakes were in passing over players at more high-impactful positions. So even when the Lions saw a ton of praise for…

You wouldn’t have thought it was only Detroit Lions’ general manager Brad Holmes’ third draft of his career as the boss. Not with the way he was wheeling and dealing on the trade market. After moving back a handful of times early on in the 2023 NFL Draft, Holmes traded up to 96 in order…
The draft is done. The pieces are set, and the Lions are moving on towards the encroaching summer. With Kansas City done and dusted, Detroit has its full draft class. The selections made by the front office has earned its share of criticism, but we focus on what is, and what this team will become…
For Jahmyr Gibbs, his ability to not only run the ball but also catch it well began in one of the most sacred of places for a developing football star—the backyard. Brand new Detroit Lions running back says his pass catching skills began with a group of friends playing 7-on-7 in the backyard as he…
The Detroit Lions first round of the 2023 NFL Draft will goes down as one of the most surprising in recent history. While the Lions taking a running back early wasn’t a complete shock, that selection being Jahmyr Gibbs with the 12th overall pick was something that literally no one in the general public had…
Well, it finally happened. The thing people have been talking about since general manager Brad Holmes was hired by the Detroit Lions in January of 2021. When will he inevitably draft a quarterback? And in the third round of his third draft, Holmes selected University of Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker with the 68th pick in…
It’s been over two years since the Detroit Lions traded franchise quarterback Matthew Stafford. We know the way things played out for the Los Angeles Rams: Stafford helped them win a Super Bowl in his first season in LA, but the team has subsequently tanked. Undoubtedly, the Rams have no regrets about the trade—it helped…
