These days, Detroit Lions legend—and current special assistant—Chris Spielman mostly works in the shadows. If you ask him, that’s how he prefers it. He had his shot in the limelight, now it’s time to help those still active in the league. But when Spielman does step out for a second, he’s always worth listening to:…
The Professional Women’s Hockey League held their 2024 draft in Minneapolis on Monday and the Detroit Lions had something to do with it believe it or not. No, they weren’t there physically, but they were there in spirt. The New York Sound’s fifth-round pick Ell Hartje wore a sweet vintage Lions jacket on stage after being
Many Detroit Lions fans consider themselves fortunate to have witnessed the supreme talents of players like Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson, both of whom are frequently included in discussions as among the greatest to have ever played in their respective positions. In 1997, Sanders came remarkably close to shattering the single-season rushing record, falling just
Undoubtedly, Isaiah Williams has kept Lions fans and media intrigued during the offseason. Following the results from his workouts at the NFL combine (4.63 40-time) Isaiah went undrafted in the 2024 NFL draft. However, after getting scooped up as an undrafted free agent by Detroit, the former Illinois Football star has found ways to impress.
The Detroit Lions have gone from being in the wilderness and possibly being longtime laughingstocks to being contenders in the space of just over one calendar year. Last season, they won 12 regular season games, finished first in the NFC North and came within minutes of advancing to the Super Bowl for the first time.
Times have changed. The Detroit Lions are no longer the team that everyone laughs at. They’re now the team that everyone is coming for. They’re the team that other teams want to get revenge on. There’s probably no team that wants revenge more than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You can totally see why too. The
Well, we now know who the Madden 25 cover athlete is. It’s San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. With that out of the way, the next step is to see those Detroit Lions player ratings. Last year they started to come out in mid July. There were some questionable decisions ahead of the season
Last year, Jim O’Neil was taking a year off from coaching. After a two-year stint as the Northwestern defensive coordinator and a dozen years of NFL positional coach experience before that, he was looking to reset and figure out his next move. He decided to drop in for a couple of Detroit Lions OTA practices…
There’s a bit of sadness to the reason we’re writing this today, but it is what it is. The Detroit Lions waived cornerback Craig James on Tuesday and the reaction from part of the Lions fan base was that they just didn’t know who he was. It’s understandable because James never played a game for
It isn’t happening as fast as some of us would like, but the NFL offseason continues to move along with organized team activities (OTAs) now in the rearview mirror. For a team like the Detroit Lions, OTAs are a chance to get a first look at some of the rookies and veterans brought in during…
[affiliatewidget_smgtolocal] A day after being waived by the Detroit Lions, rookie linebacker Steele Chambers has found a new NFL home. The undrafted free agent from Ohio State was claimed off waivers by the New England Patriots. The Lions moved on from Chambers after last week’s mandatory minicamp, bringing in veteran Ben Niemann on Monday to
The Detroit Lions have turned over every rock when it comes to upgrading the talent at EDGE this offseason. They’ve signed free agent Marcus Davenport, snagged Mathieu Betts from the Canadian Football League, and are expecting James Houston, Josh Paschal, and Levi Onwuzurike (who has situationally played on the edge at OTAs) to enter 2024…
It’s been 12 years since Calvin Johnson set the NFL record for single-season receiving yards. And while five players have come close to eclipsing his 1,964-yard mark since then, only Cooper Kupp has gotten within real striking distance (1,947 yards). However, the six-time Pro Bowler feels it’s a matter of when, not if his record
