Pride of Detroit

The 2024 NFL Combine begins on Sunday, February 25, with prospects arriving alongside their positional groups over the next few days. During their time in Indianapolis, players will go through orientation, receive medical checks, meet with NFL teams, and take the podium to answer questions from the media. Then, on Thursday, February 29, the league…

If you’re not familiar with how the Detroit Lions roundup works, each week we collect data from the latest expert mock drafts published over the last seven days and compile them (with links to the original pieces) in one easy-to-access article. In addition to providing Lions fans with the names of prospects being paired with…

During the Detroit Lions’ playoff win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, fans flooded Frank Ragnow’s “Rags Remembered” foundation with donations. Ragnow showed tremendous spirit and resiliency in that game, playing through a knee and ankle injury on top of the laundry list of other ailments he was going through. With the help of former teammate…

On Friday—five days after the Super Bowl—the contracts of seven different Detroit Lions players will automatically void. This was expected, as the Lions used 2024 as an automatically voiding year to help spread the cap hit of individual contracts across multiple years. (Note: If you want to see how a voided year works, check out…

We’re only a couple weeks into the Detroit Lions offseason, and some fans are already dreaming big. Thanks to some suggestions from various media outlets, some are wondering if the Lions could land Chargers EDGE defender Khalil Mack in a trade or sign Vikings defender Danielle Hunter in free agency.

Former Detroit Lions quarterback David Blough has been hired as the new assistant quarterbacks coach for the Washington Commanders, the team announced on Thursday morning. Blough finished the 2023 season on the practice squad of the Lions, but he did not sign a futures contract after the season reached its conclusion.

Every year, it seems this is one of the toughest Detroit Lions awards to give out. Rookie of the Year is challenging because Lions general manager Brad Holmes has done a phenomenal job drafting talent who can both produce in the immediate and long term. In Year 1 of Holmes’ regime, he got two All…

Earlier this week, the Detroit Lions signed CFL’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player of 2023 Mathieu Betts. It’s an intriguing addition, as the Lions are looking to upgrade their pass rush this upcoming season after finishing 23rd in sacks. The former BC Lion defensive end tallied 18 sacks in 18 games last year, and apparently, that…

We are back again with another edition of our Detroit Lions free agent profiles series for the 2023-2024 season. For the first time in this series, I play both sides of the coin on whether the Lions should re-sign or let a player walk. That player today is wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones. Detroit has some…

After a really strong first two years in the NFL, Detroit Lions’ defensive end Aidan Hutchinson is poised to take another big step in 2024. And if you ask former All-Pro edge rusher J.J. Watt, he believes the third-year star out of Michigan can contend for a sack-title very soon.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Wednesday they have signed former Detroit Lions third-round pick Julian Okwara. Okwara was cut late in the Lions’ 2023 season and signed back to the practice squad. He was not elevated in any of the Lions’ playoff games, and when the season ended and Okwara’s practice squad contract expired, the…

The Washington Commanders have hired Detroit Lions senior director of player personnel Lance Newmark to be their new assistant general manager. This is a pretty significant loss for the Lions, as Newmark had been employed with Detroit since 1998. He started as an assistant and worked his way up through the scouting program, officially holding…

When we last checked in on NFL power rankings, the Detroit Lions were firmly a top-10 team, but most analysts had them outside of that top tier of teams. That conversation has drastically changed, however, since the Lions’ deep playoff run. After their NFC Championship appearance—and near win—suddenly the Lions are in the conversation for…

Our 2023 Detroit Lions Pride of Detroit awards continue, and we’ve reached one of the bigger awards we’ll give out: Coach of the Year. While both head coach Dan Campbell and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson came up just short at the NFL Honors this year, both were phenomenal in 2023. But Detroit’s strong coaching staff…

Welcome to another installment of our Detroit Lions free agent profiles series for the 2023-2024 season. I am reviewing the problematic kicker position today, with Michael Badgley being the team’s only current option. Detroit has had a rocky road at the position since the end of the 2020 season, and they have yet to figure…

The Detroit Lions made a splash in the CFL world this week when they signed the CFL’s 2023 Most Outstanding Defensive Player, Mathieu Betts. That’s quite the headline, and may be enticing to Lions fans who are yearning for pass rush opposite of Aidan Hutchinson. After all, Betts posted 18 sacks in 18 games this…

The Detroit Lions’ 2023 season will forever go down as one of the most memorable in the modern era of this franchise. Scattered throughout the record-breaking season are unforgettable moments. There’s Brian Branch’s pick-six that helped Detroit take down the World Champions in the season opener. How about Ifeatu Melifonwu’s NFC North-sealing interception against the…

Our 2024 Detroit Lions free agent series continues, where we break down every single individual decision the team must make with their free agent class. We continue with one of the more interesting decisions to be made. In 2023, the Lions signed Emmanuel Moseley, hoping he’d eventually be their starting cornerback. Safe to say, that…

Super Bowl ads have had a rough stretch in recent years, but this year’s batch was a pretty good crop for the most part. While the game itself was a bit of a struggle to watch for the first 45 or so minutes, we at least got some funny and unserious commercials spread throughout.

Our 2023 Detroit Lions Pride of Detroit awards continues after kicking off on Monday with Breakout Player of the Year. Today, we move to the third phase of the game. And for as much grief as I give special teams, it can undoubtedly make a huge impact on a game. The Super Bowl provided a…
