Joining a new crowd can be a little difficult for some, but new Detroit Lions defender Aidan Hutchinson is making some great first impressions already. As the squad’s organized team activities (OTAs) get underway, a few Lions had the chance to offer their thoughts on the second overall pick. At this point, teams can run
Dan Campbell thought Aaron Glenn was gone.

What a difference a few years make for the Detroit Lions. General manager Brad Holmes has done his best to flip this roster, and he’s done it in a relatively short time. When he took over in January of 2021, there was no shortage of work to be done. The previous regime handed out several
So, that’s it? There’s nothing we can do? Toss out a few Bible verses, offer up some prayers and hope that a “good guy with a gun” shows up the next time a teenager with an assault rifle barricades himself in an elementary school classroom and begins to shoot? You good with that? No? Neither

Allen Park — They were both nervous, albeit for slightly different reasons. Back in early February, Aaron Glenn was waiting anxiously for the phone call of a lifetime, as one of two finalists for an NFL head-coaching job with the New Orleans Saints. Dan Campbell was waiting on that same call, really. But beyond what
