Just over a year ago, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes made the aggressive move to jump five spots in the first round to grab cornerback Terrion Arnold. With a huge run of offensive players early in the draft, Holmes believed they were getting tremendous value in Arnold that late in the first round—setting up…

With Detroit Lions 2025 training camp on the horizon, we are bringing back our roster preview series to help prepare you for the fun ahead. If you’re not familiar with this series, we guide you position-by-position through the roster, examining the starting, reserve, and specialty roles, which players are competing for which jobs, and project…
Entering his third year with the Detroit Lions, versatile offensive lineman Colby Sorsdal is facing a make-or-break situation. Sorsdal is somewhat of a development project for the Lions. The team selected the former member of the William & Mary Tribe in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft and expected him to mold into…
I get it. Pro Bowl recognition isn’t what it used to be. The format has changed, alternates abound, and some players would rather skip it entirely. But Pro Bowl nods still carry real weight in a player’s career narrative, and in discussions surrounding title contenders like the Detroit Lions.
Welcome to another installment in SB Nation’s Reacts survey series. This week, we are asking Detroit Lions fans two questions: With Jared Goff set to be featured in Netflix’s second season of “Quarterback” —premiering July 8—we figured it’s the perfect time to project what’s ahead before we get a chance to reminisce on his 2024…
With preseason football just under a month away now, the ranking of things is a noble and honorable tradition. Just the other day, I got two radio hosts very mad at each other over a question of “top-10 quarterbacks” and they were yelling in the hallway. I feel proud. Football is nearly here.
The Detroit Lions have been one of the top scouting teams in the NFL over the past two years, and the 2023 NFL Draft was one of their best in recent memory. Detroit nabbed four top-tier starters with their first four picks: running back Jahmyr Gibbs (first round), linebacker Jack Campbell (first round), tight end…
As we inch closer to the Detroit Lions’ 2025 training camp, we are bringing back our roster preview series to help prepare you for all the end-of-summer festivities. If you’re not familiar with this series, we guide you position-by-position through the roster, examining the starting, reserve, and specialty roles, which players are competing for which…
We already know we live in unprecedented times for the Detroit Lions. Not only have the Lions seen as much success in the past three years as we’ve seen in the previous 60 combined, but the amount of talent on the team is absolutely staggering. For years, there have been one or two players who…
We’re just about a week away from the debut of Netflix’s second season of “Quarterback,” which will heavily feature Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, as well as Kirk Cousins and Joe Burrow. On Monday, ESPN’s “Pat McAfee Show” debuted a long clip of the show that depicts Goff retelling his emotions during the moment in…
Eric Ebron was one of a handful of alumni the Detroit Lions welcomed to their Meijer Performance Center training facility in Allen Park over the weekend. Lions legend Calvin Johnson held a youth camp at the facility as part of his Calvin Johnson Jr. Foundation event called “Catching Dreams Weekend.” On Sunday, Johnson hosted a…
One of the more polarizing draft picks in recent years for the Detroit Lions was taking wide receiver Jameson Williams in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. After selecting Aidan Hutchinson with the No. 2 pick that year, the Lions made a massive move up, trading pick Nos. 32, 34, and 66 for…
With Frank Ragnow now retired, the Detroit Lions will be breaking in at least two new starters on the interior offensive line — and potentially three at new positions, depending on where Graham Glasgow lands. That’s the new reality for offensive line coach Hank Fraley and assistant Steve Oliver. Fortunately, the Lions have been preparing…
By now, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has built himself quite a resume. From his age-like-wine swap of Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff and a haul of picks to his odds-defying 2023 NFL Draft class, Holmes seems to make at least one stunningly good move in each of his five offseasons.
Not only is the NFL offseason now five months deep, but the sports calendar is drying up in the summer heat. The NBA and NHL recently finished their seasons, and while their respective drafts brought some recent intrigue, they don’t do the draft like the NFL does. Until the Detroit Lions return in about four…
Training camp represents something different to every type of player in the NFL. For young players, it’s a chance to establish themselves as promising contributors. For star players, it’s time to remind everyone—including those young up-and-comers—that they’re the best at what they do. And for veterans on the proverbial roster bubbles, it’s one last shot…
It’s been a relatively quiet offseason for the Detroit Lions, whose main move in free agency was replacing free agent cornerback Carlton Davis with D.J. Reed. Apart from that, the Lions didn’t make a move over $4 million, instead focusing on the 2025 NFL Draft and a couple of extensions.
Last season, the Detroit Lions had one of the best—if not the best—offensive line in the NFL. They got help in free agent guard Kevin Zeitler to help beef up the interior, and guard Graham Glasgow was coming off his best season ever. Center Frank Ragnow was now the top center in the league with…
Our 2025 Detroit Lions roster review continues with one of the most enigmatic players on the team. Offensive lineman Giovanni Manu was arguably the most shocking pick of Detroit’s 2024 draft class, with general manager Brad Holmes trading a future third-round pick to select the University of British Columbia talent in the fourth round.
As pointed out by Justin Rogers of Detroit Football Network, this week marks the five-year anniversary of Sheila Hamp being named Detroit Lions owner. It’s been an unprecedented string of successes since Hamp took over—a development few saw coming. With nearly 60 years of failure under Ford ownership, Hamp’s promotion to ownership was met with…
