Pride of Detroit

It’s no secret that Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has a newfound sense of belonging after being traded from the Los Angeles Rams earlier this offseason. A few times already, he’s noted how his new situation “is where I’m supposed to be” or that the coaching staff has empowered him. But Goff, himself, is also

We continue our podcast series reviewing the Detroit Lions’ 2021 draft picks today with the team’s (first) fourth-round pick, Amon-Ra St. Brown. Brown was one of the team’s more popular picks, seeing as he filled one of the team’s most obvious needs and the Lions got a player on Day 3 of the draft that

The addition of a 17th game on the NFL calendar meant there would be all sorts of imbalance across every team’s schedule. For the extra game itself, the league decided to add an inter-conference game, putting all NFC teams on the road in 2021. This change feels weird for now, but with time it will

Earlier Thursday morning the Detroit Lions announced they had signed second-round pick Levi Onwuzurike, but according to social media, he wasn’t the only rookie to sign a deal with the team. Both the Lions’ fourth-round picks Amon-Ra St. Brown and Derrick Barnes had pictures of them signing their contracts posted to Instagram and they were

Yet another divisional rival (well, former) is using one word often used when referring to former Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford — underrated. (I almost polled the POD gang whether they think readers are over Stafford news, but then I remembered I’m not, and never will be, so here you are—more Stafford-is-underrated talk.) Former Chicago

On Thursday, the Detroit Lions wrap up their final Organized Team Activity practice. But before the young players who remain in Allen Park break until training camp in late July, the Lions wanted to make sure they had at least one more rookie under contract. The team announced on Thursday afternoon that Lions second-round pick

It was leaked this week that the new Madden 22 video game will feature both Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes on the cover. To go along with that announcement, EA released a trailer for the video game with actual gameplay. It’s mostly just a hype machine with Tik Tok music blaring in the background, but

Snap counts don’t always tell the whole story of a player’s value, but they do play a key role in understanding their usage and can give insight into how they may be used in the future. This is the first in a series of articles at Pride of Detroit where we will examine the snap

Minicamp is over. We’ve now reached that point of the offseason where we’re just dying for training camp to start so we can see any form of football. So why not try something you’ve never tried before? That’s what I decided to do. I did my first ever film study this week. The subject is

The Detroit Lions offered a huge extension to center Frank Ragnow earlier this offseason, leading to one of the most heart-warming moment for the franchise. Ragnow, undoubtedly, is going to be a huge part of this team’s future, and after he’s already accomplished so much in his young, three-year career, it was awesome to see

We all know the Detroit Lions’ perceived strength right now is their offensive line. With three first-round picks scheduled to start along the front five, anything less than a top-10 performance out of that unit would be a disappointment. But what about the defensive line? The Lions have poured a lot of resources into that

Along with some outlines for training camp, the NFL and Players Associated agreed upon a series of COVID-19 regulations that will offer very different protocols for vaccinated players vs. unvaccinated players. For vaccinated players, things will be much looser than last year. They will only be tested every two weeks for the virus, while unvaccinated

The NFL and the NFL Players Association agreed this week to a new set of COVID protocols for the 2021 season. For fans, the most important details is in regards to training camp. Per a memo leaked by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, teams will be permitted to host fans at training camp for the first

The Detroit Lions have a brutal schedule ahead of them for the 2021 season. Their schedule is ranked sixth-toughest in the NFL based on 2020 records, which will only amplify the rebuild going on in Allen Park. Question of the day: Which opponent will be the Lions’ toughest in 2021? My answer: I’m undecided between

Late last week, we asked you all what your thoughts were on Year 2 of Jeff Okudah, the Detroit Lions’ third overall pick from the 2020 NFL Draft. Under a new coaching staff that has already given him a new outlook on the game, Okudah certainly looked different from a confidence standpoint on the field.

The Detroit Lions are wrapping up offseason workouts this week with the third set of organized team activities (OTAs). In this final week, only about half of the team is expected to attend with a focus mostly on the young players on the team. Because this last week of OTAs is closed to the media,

With minicamp in the books for NFL teams, we’re at a comfortable position in the offseason to start thinking about the upcoming NFL season, which means we’re also comfortable and ready to start ranking who we believe will be the best players in 2021. LISTCAST is back on the Pride Of Detroit PODcast, and with

Around this time of year, we kick off our yearly roster rankings for the Detroit Lions. A group of our staff ranks the entire roster from one to 90 to get an overall sense of how talented the roster is and compare it to the previous year. Ever since we’ve been doing that list, there

I don’t think it’s a far reach to say most Detroit Lions fans are at the very least intrigued by new head coach Dan Campbell’s engaging personality. Since introducing the phrase “biting kneecaps” into Lions lore, football fans worldwide have tuned in to what’s going here in Detroit. While some national media feel the need

On Sunday night, the Detroit Lions debuted their highly-anticipated behind-the-scene video of the 2021 NFL Draft. It featured plenty of war room footage from draft weekend, along with interviews of Lions head coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes, and pre-draft videos of the scouting process inside Allen Park. If you haven’t already, you
