Last season, Hutchinson posted 11.5 sacks in his second NFL season as the Lions barnstormed to the NFC Championship Game before coming up short against the San Francisco 49ers. While the Lions have added Marcus Davenport, last season — and Detroit’s second-half collapse in San Francisco underscored the notion that a contender can’t have enough
Now that the dust has settled and the 2024 NFL Draft is in the books, I want to go back to reflect on something that really stood out to me a few weeks back. The Detroit Lions put out a movie that reflected on their 2023 season and in that movie there is a moment
