We’re now just two months out from the 2023 NFL Draft, and you can already sense a seismic shift at the top of many draftniks’ big boards. Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson seems to have garnered the most discussion as of late. The 21-year-old quarterback only started one season for the Gators, and it was an…
The Detroit Lions have a new coach. According to several different sources—the Centre Daily Times was first on it—the Lions are hiring Penn State defensive line coach John Scott Jr. At this point, the exact role of Scott on the Lions coaching staff has not been explicitly reported. That said, the Lions lost their own…
The NFL Combine is underway in Indianapolis, which means a strong focus on the 2023 NFL Draft this week. Once again, it’s an exciting time to be a Detroit Lions fan, because they are chock-full of draft capital this year.

The Detroit Lions already rewarded one of their coordinators this offseason, and another might be on the way. After giving offensive coordinator Ben Johnson a raise to stay in Detroit, the Lions have turned their attention to the defensive side of the ball. Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is reportedly getting a multi-year contract extension.…
In last week’s mock draft roundup, our own Erik Schlitt pointed out the increase in draft analysts pairing the Detroit Lions with Texas running back Bijan Robinson. Since then, that pairing has hit the local market, as both The Athletic’s Colton Pouncy and the Detroit Free Press’ Dave Birkett seemed to advocate for the pick.
The evidence showing how important it was for the Lions organization to retain offensive coordinator Ben Johnson this offseason continues to pile up. This time, football analyst Warren Sharp posted a huge series of charts plotting Expected Points Added (EPA) by team. On the horizontal and vertical axes, two play characteristics that ought to be…
Although the Detroit Lions avoided losing any of their coordinators this year to head coaching gigs, they have seen many assistant coaches leave this offseason. That happened again this week, as former Lions offensive assistant John Morton was announced as part of the Denver Broncos’ new coaching staff under Sean Payton. Morton will be the…

Spring football can be really hit or miss. Some positions have much steeper drop-offs in talent than others, leading to diluted quality among teams that don’t have the same repertoire we’re used to seeing in NFL games. My expectations were low for the XFL entering this spring season after seeing lots of low quality from…

As we approach the start of NFL free agency, the Detroit Lions are already starting to clear some cap for some extra spending money. On Friday, they released defensive lineman Michael Brockers, who would have cost the Lions around $14 million toward the cap in 2023 had they kept him in, but by releasing him,…
Last month, the NFL announced the five teams who will host international games for the 2023 schedule. On that schedule was the Kansas City Chiefs who will play in Germany later this year. The Chiefs happen to be one of the Detroit Lions’ nine opponents they’ll face on the road this year, meaning the Lions…

A few years ago, we started doing live Detroit Lions Q&A shows on the Greenroom app as a way to keep the Honolulu Blue flame…
Last month, the USFL announced that for the 2023 season—the second in existence since their revival—Detroit will serve as one of four hub cities for games. That means Ford Field will be the home stadium for both the Michigan Panthers and Philadelphia Stars. Since then, many locals have shown an interest and showing up to…

Those are big in their way, but a much bigger one happened on Thursday when it was announced…
