Another really interesting prospect in this year’s 2024 NFL Draft class is University of Alabama cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry. In some ways, McKinstry’s college football arc can be compared to former Louisiana State University and current Houston Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr’s. Both started as true freshman on elite SEC defenses, which is a massive accomplishment…

The San Francisco 49ers are finally on the clock in our 2024 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft with the 31st pick. Last year, the 49ers had a dominant season, culminating with a win in the [GAME REDACTED] but a disappointing loss in the Super Bowl to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

The way Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph was bouncing around the stage on uniform reveal night, you’d never know that he was recovering from offseason surgery. But in an interview shortly after the event wrapped, Joseph spoke about an offseason procedure he had on his hip, dating back to an injury he suffered all the…

Earlier in April, the NFL sent a memo to teams permitting them to now have a third alternate helmet in their uniform repertoire. For teams that were going under a uniform change in 2024, they could add that third option as soon as this year. For everyone else, the third helmet could debut in 2025.

In front of over 5,000 hyped-up Detroit Lions fans on Thursday night, the team revealed their new uniforms for 2024 and beyond. While there weren’t a ton of drastic changes, the Lions—in my opinion—did a great job blending the past with a modern look. But they didn’t do anything overly dramatic to take away the…

Social media was abuzz on Thursday night, as the world reacted to the Detroit Lions’ 2024 uniform reveal.

Back when he got here in 2021, there was a good understanding of what Detroit Lions’ linebacker Alex Anzalone’s role would be with the team—at least early on. Lions’ general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell had just begun with their rebuild, and adding Anzalone made a lot of sense for several reasons.

Another cornerback is on the board for my draft crushes this draft season.

DeJean could help fill a need at…
