Giovanni Manu has a very interesting path to becoming a fourth-round pick of the Detroit Lions. From a boy growing up in Tonga to playing high school basketball in western Canada, it’s a very unusual background for an NFL offensive lineman. Manu is a proud Tongan, and his Polynesian heritage is fiercely important to him.
Adding to their strong 2024 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions made another great move hours after the conclusion of the NFL Draft.

Watching the NFL Draft as a kid, I thought attending in person would have been a fun experience. Seeing the fans cheering on the picks and excited for their future seemed like something I wanted to do with my friends. In my high school speech class, we needed to make a bucket list and on…
Undrafted free agency is almost as fun as regular free agency. The Detroit Lions have signed 14 UDFA’s so far and they may not be done. Last year they signed 15. By the way, there is no limit. But if the Lions had one more spot left, there is a steal of a player that

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes was certainly not afraid to trade up in the 2024 NFL Draft. Of the Lions’ six picks in the draft, four were the result of a trade up. Two of those four trades only involved a swap of 2024 draft capital, but in the other two transactions, Holmes dipped…
