Besides playing some darn good football, one of the main things Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow is known for is his love of the outdoors. After all, not many football players host their very own fishing show.

Seemingly every year in the NFL, there are a handful of players around the league that burst onto the scene, make a ton of plays, and ultimately, become a household name. Players that are known and appreciated around their respective fanbases become individuals that even the most casual of NFL fans can talk about. For…
The Detroit Lions figured out the offensive side of the ball in a big way last year. Quarterback Jared Goff and offensive coordinator have rightfully been given a lot of praise after the Lions suddenly jumped to the fourth highest-scoring offense in the league last year. With most of those players returning in 2023—plus a…
Evaluating offensive linemen can often be a difficult task because their game tape can be difficult to find unless the prospect appears destined for a top-50 selection. For linemen drafted on Day 3, it often requires a more detailed approach of looking specifically for one player and trying to dig up as much information as…
If you were to ask most Detroit Lions fans around the world, most would tell you that they were excited for the upcoming 2023 season. Like, really excited. Most would likely go on to tell you that this is the most optimistic they have been about the Lions in sometime—maybe ever, depending on how long…
Many Detroit Lions fans are both Pistons and Red Wings fans, meaning the term “draft lottery” is a pretty sore topic right now. The Red Wings notoriously suffer from any sort of good luck, and while the Pistons did win the No. 1 overall pick two seasons ago, they missed out on the biggest prize…
Now that NFL teams are starting to release some behind-the-scenes videos of the 2023 NFL Draft, we’re starting to get a clearer picture of what teams really thought about this year’s draft prospects. Earlier this week, we noted that the Lions weren’t the only team really in love with tight end Sam LaPorta, and thanks…
The 2023 NFL season is still a ways away. We’re about to enter that dead zone between the NFL Draft and training camp. Now is the time to talk about what lies ahead for the Detroit Lions. We already talked at length about the schedule, now let’s talk about the quarterbacks that populate that schedule.…
Now that the 2023 NFL Draft grades are far in the rear-view mirror, it’s time to look at something even more subjective and debatable: undrafted rookie class rankings! Last week, the Detroit Lions signed 15 undrafted free agents (UDFAs), confirming the 14 reported signings prior to the announcement with the addition of Marshall cornerback Steven…
Now that the dust has settled and the Detroit Lions have a full 90-man roster, some NFL analysts are looking around the league to see which teams put themselves in the best positions this offseason. The Lions have big expectations in 2023, and several experts are crediting general manager Brad Holmes for an outstandingly executed…
The 2023 NFL schedule is out, and we’ve taken our time to comb over all the big details about the future Detroit Lions campaign, set to fire off in a few months time. While there’s plenty of buzz around the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, there’s a lot of other interesting parts to…
The Detroit Lions began Day 2 of the 2023 NFL Draft by taking tight end Sam LaPorta with their first second-round pick. While taking a tight end wasn’t much of a surprise for Detroit, some questioned whether LaPorta—just the second tight end taken in the draft—was the best option still available in the draft.
I hate to be the guy to slow down the hype train a little bit. It’s been a lot of fun. I’ve been on the train too. I’ve been the conductor a few times. Even last week when I projected the Lions to finish 12-5 after the schedule release. Still, I can’t help but feel…
According to a social media post from kicker John Parker Romo, he has signed a contract with the Detroit Lions following a tryout during the team’s rookie minicamp last weekend. Romo was an All-ACC kicker at Virginia Tech in 2021 and signed with the New Orleans Saints in 2022 after going undrafted. After his release,…
The Detroit Lions announced on Monday that they have signed wide receiver Dylan Drummond, a rookie out of Eastern Michigan. Drummond was one of 10 players who were invited to rookie minicamp over the weekend to try out for the roster. Obviously, he made a good enough impression to earn a contract and make his…
Monday marked an important day in the 2023 Detroit Lions’ offseason schedule. For the first time since April’s draft, the Lions rookie class shared the same field with veterans. With rookie minicamp coming to a close on Sunday, the team continued their voluntary offseason workout program. Prior to rookie minicamp, it had only been veterans…
The 2023 NFL Draft concluded roughly two weeks ago and we at Pride of Detroit have been producing a ton of content about the Detroit Lions’ draft class. We’ve been breaking down players’ skill sets, how and where they fit on the roster, as well as learning about their character.
Rookie minicamp is one of the first tastes of football post-NFL Draft, and the Detroit Lions have plenty of rookies to look forward to seeing. The early observations are exciting, and with the excitement comes expectations. From first round talents to Day 3 end-of-the-draft selections, the expectations will vary wildly. Some will be viewed as…
Earlier this offseason, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell announced the team’s intentions to host the New York Giants for joint practices prior to each team’s 2023 preseason opener.
