But there was also a large financial impact from the event and one that will have a positive…

If you are looking for a microcosm of the Detroit Lions turnaround, from the beginning of 2021 until now, look no further than the linebacker room.

As the countdown to the 2024 NFL season continues, all eyes in Michigan are on the Detroit Lions as they prepare for a season with heightened expectations.

The Lions have made several key upgrades to their roster throughout the 2024 NFL Draft and free agency. Somehow, amidst all the talent on their roster, they’ve brought in multiple players who will likely start in some capacity—Carlton Davis, DJ Reader, Terrion Arnold, and Kevin Zeitler come to mind.

Adjusting to the NFL from college football can be tough on anyone and oftentimes they’re not the most vocal about it.
