When the Detroit Lions hired Texas Longhorns running backs coach Tashard Choice, the initial reaction might have been one of surprise. After all, coach Scottie Montgomery has done an outstanding job developing David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs into the top tandem running back duo in the NFL. But upon further reflection, elevating Choice from collegiate

The Detroit Lions recently hired former NFL quarterback Bruce Gradkowski for his first NFL coaching job. At this point we don’t know what his role will be on the staff, but if we’re speculating, assistant quarterbacks coach makes a lot of sense.  While this is Gradkowski’s first coaching job in the NFL, it’s not his

The 2024 NFL season is over and analysts are already on to trying to make predictions for the 2025 season. ESPN got a whole group together to predict a few things like which teams will be in the Super Bowl next year and what teams will take a step back.  Four analysts had the Lions

So here’s where we’re sitting with the Detroit Lions right now. There’s this feeling in the air that the Lions need to make a huge move on the edge to help Aidan Hutchinson and win the Super Bowl in 2025.  Right now the moves on the table are Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby. The Lions

The Detroit Lions are looking to add a quality edge player in the draft. New defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard could benefit from pairing a returning Aidan Hutchinson on the edge with another edge rusher. With a wealth of defensive talent available this year, here are top candidates who might be available as the 28th pick.

The Detroit Lions were the best team in the NFL for most of the 2024 season. Their dominant offense was paired with a defense that overcame injury after injury. In the playoffs, they were overwhelmed by the Washington Commanders, leading to an early season end. Once the offseason began, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive

An element of surprise could be the difference between a breakout season and a lost one. Campbell might be sitting on a bombshell. Dan Campbell had a 2024 campaign that will be remembered as a mixed bag. On one hand, the Detroit Lions head coach secured the number one seed in the NFC. On the

The Detroit Lions’ 2024-25 season ended in shocking disappointment. After dominating the competition throughout the regular season and earning the No. 1 seed, the Lions fell flat on their face against the Washington Commanders in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Injuries and a lack of depth, especially on the defensive side of the ball,

There’s one thing we’re definitely not going to do and that is come here and say that Ben Johnson was a bad offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions. He was spectacular and was a big reason why the Lions had one of the league’s top offenses for the last three years in a row.  That

On Thursday it was announced that the Detroit Lions were making another coaching hire. This time they’re bringing in Texas running backs coach Tashard Choice to take over that very same role with Detroit.  This is big proof of two things. The first one is that the Lions’ offense does not plan to change its

The Detroit Lions lost a lot of coaches this offseason and it has caused them to have to go out and reload with new guys. So far they’ve made a bunch of different hires and with all these racking up, it’s getting hard to keep track of.  So here’s a layout of what the staff

Dave Birkett adds Scottie Montgomery is moving to WR coach from RB coach to replace former WR coach Antwaan Randle El who joined Ben Johnson’s staff in Chicago. Choice, 40, was a fourth-round pick out of Georgia Tech by the Cowboys in 2008. He went on to play for Washington, the Bills, and the Colts

The Detroit Lions are not afraid to go international. They showed that last year when they drafted Tongan-born Canadian offensive lineman Giovanni Manu in the fourth-round of the 2024 NFL Draft.  The idea with Manu is that he has unbelievable size, athleticism, and strength, but that he’s green. The Lions want to fashion him into

After a few strong seasons with the New York Jets, cornerback D.J. Reed looks like the best cornerback available on the free agent market. While he hasn’t earned any league-wide accolades, Reed has had a strong first seven seasons in the NFL. He has six interceptions and 50 pass breakups in 101 games and has
