Pride of Detroit

The last time the Detroit Lions played in London was in 2015. They lost in a massacre to the Kansas City Chiefs which promptly cost Joe Lombardi his job as offensive coordinator. They won overseas the previous year on a game winning 48-yard field goal from Matt Prater. It’s been a while, but there’s a

Last week’s Mock Draft roundup had a heavy focus on wide receivers with not a lot separating Ja’Marr Chase (LSU), Jaylen Waddle (Alabama), and DeVonta Smith (Alabama). This week, one of those three receivers was connected to the Detroit Lions more than the other two combined. Let’s take a look at who was projected to

It may only be April, but over at the DraftKings sportsbook, the over/under totals for team wins were set for the 2021 NFL season. Remember, everyone, 17 games! For the Detroit Lions, their over/under was set at just five wins. At that total, Detroit was set with the lowest total in the NFC, and only

Last year, the Detroit Lions just barely avoided playing in London. They were reportedly going to face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars overseas, but the COVID-19 pandemic caused the NFL to postpone the International Series before the schedule was officially announced. However, the Lions may be headed to Europe this upcoming year. On Thursday, the

Ever since Detroit Lions team president Rod Wood was hired to be the franchise’s team president, he’s been trying to bring the NFL Draft to the city of Detroit. The NFL started rotating host cities for the draft in 2014 after a long stint at Radio City Music Hall in New York with stops in

The Detroit Lions are on the clock in the 2021 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, and they are in a very interesting spot. While the top three picks were all quarterbacks, as expected, there was a surprising run on offensive tackles, and linebacker Micah Parsons went a little early, too. That leaves the Lions

It has been a few seasons since the Detroit Lions have drafted someone from within the state (punter Pat O’Connor from Eastern Michigan in 2017, Graham Glasgow and Jake Rudock from Michigan in 2016), but that could change this season with a number of viable options on the draft board. While there is not necessarily

An NFL record currently held by Megatron could be in jeopardy with the newly expanded 17-game season. Legendary Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson holds the record for the most receiving yards in a regular season — 1,964 yards in 2012. In fact, he’s the only player to record 1,900 yards in a single season. CBS

The Detroit Lions will be signing free agent cornerback Corn Elder to a one-year deal according to NFL Network’s’ Ian Rapoport. Elder had an in-person visit with Detroit on Thursday, and it apparently went well enough for the two sides to come to an agreement. At the moment, terms are not available. Elder immediately slides

ESPN’s Todd McShay released his latest mock draft on Thursday and he projects the Lions to be on the move with pick No. 7 in the 2021 NFL draft. Let’s take a look at how the mock draft played out leading up to the Lions’ selection. No surprises at the top, as the Jacksonville Jaguars

The Detroit Lions continue their search to improve their thin secondary. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Lions are hosting free agent cornerback Corn Elder for a visit on Thursday morning. Elder, a 2017 fifth-round pick by the Carolina Panthers, fought through injuries the first three years of his career, and when he was

We’ve got a real gaggle of great folks in Detroit. Fans, players, coaches, writers and all, circling this great little spectacle known as the Detroit Lions. Sometimes, that means saying goodbye as they seek out new stories, new mysteries, new life and new civilizations on the far corners of the cosmos. Michael Rothstein has been

As players are signed in free agency, contract details of bigger name players are revealed fairly quickly, but getting details on backups or players who will be fighting for roster spots typically takes longer to come by. The Detroit Lions haven’t been overly aggressive in free agency (check out our tracker for all the moves)

The NFL made a strong statement this week when commissioner Roger Goodell claimed he intends on going back to full attendance in 2021 after the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out nearly all of attendance across the league last year. “We want to see every one of our fans back,” Goodell said on Tuesday. “We expect to

It’s been four years since the Detroit Lions unveiled their current uniforms. Whether it be the all-blue, all-silver, or the white jersey blue pant combination, they’ve been met with mostly positive reviews. There are some fair criticisms—those dang numbers are hard to read on the home uniforms—but most people seem to like it. That being

Pro days are just one part of a larger overall process of prospect evaluation and are often used as a double-check to what scouts see in a player’s game film. That being said, when top-rated players hit or exceed physical expectations, they can solidify their spot at the top of the draft. This week provided

[embedded content] Sorry, I had to do it. The Lions now have a second generation Detroit Lions receiver in Breshad Perriman. Fans who were alive in the 90s may remember the former first-round pick’s father Brett Perriman, who played for the Lions from 1991 to 1996 and put up a couple 1,000-yard seasons. While Brett

Things are heating up as the draft is now less than a month away. Justin Fields and Zach Wilson have solidified themselves with excellent pro days, and the recent San Francisco 49ers trade is generating a lot of interesting hypothetical scenarios as to how the top few picks will shape up. Question of the day:

As the NFL continues to plan their offseason schedule in the midst of the pandemic, the commission Roger Goodell publicly expressed a huge sense of optimism for the upcoming season. “We want to see every one of our fans back,” Goodell told the media on Tuesday afternoon. “We expect to have full stadiums in the

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Detroit Lions have scheduled a visit with free agent cornerback Quinton Dunbar next week. Dunbar is also reportedly scheduled to meet with the Arizona Cardinals sometime next week. The order of those visits is not clear from Rapoport’s tweet. Dunbar is a six-year veteran despite entering the NFL
