Our 2023 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft is underway and over the next four weeks, members/commenters of the Pride of Detroit community will be making selections for every pick in the first two rounds. I have the privilege to represent the Detroit Lions and will be making both picks No. 6 and 18 for…
When push comes to shove, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell is happy the NFL is leaving one of its most controversial plays in place. Speaking at the NFL’s annual spring meeting last week, Campbell said he was pleased the league’s competition committee did not recommend a ban on the push play that rose in prominence
The Detroit Lions have a new head athletic trainer. The Lions hired Mike Sundeen from the Denver Broncos as their new head trainer, the second major addition they’ve made to their medical staff this offseason. Sundeen replaces Kevin Bastin, who served as the Lions trainer in 2014-18 then returned for a two-year term early in
It’s not an especially promising update, but Lions head coach Dan Campbell did have an injury update on defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike this week. Heading into his second season, after a rookie season hampered by injury, the Detroit Lions had high hopes for defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike. But it was not to be, as he
David Montgomery was one of the top free agent running backs available, and the Detroit Lions had plenty of competition to sign him. When talks to bring Jamaal Williams back stalled out, the Detroit Lions made quite a pivot to former Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery. Montgomery is an undeniable upgrade over Williams, who
The Detroit Lions are one of a few NFL teams with a woman in charge as its principal/controlling owner, so it makes sense that the team has a strong commitment to including women in its football operations and outreach. Sheila Hamp has done an incredible job, recognized by both the fans and the football community…

Lamar Jackson may have very well played his last down as a member of the Baltimore Ravens. Although the Baltimore Ravens used the non-exclusive franchise tag on quarterback Lamar Jackson, there is a strong possibility he is playing for somebody else in 2023. I didn’t think it was possible, but the drama surrounding Jackson’s contract
If you’re not familiar with how the Detroit Lions roundup works, each week we collect data from the latest expert mock drafts published over the last seven days and compile them (with links to the original pieces) in one easy-to-access article. In addition to providing Lions’ fans with the names of prospects being paired with…
The Detroit Lions’ defense was abysmal for most of the 2022 season, and finished 28th in defensive DVOA to end the year—an ever-so-slight improvement from 29th the year before. All of that is not lost on general manager Brad Holmes, who has made it a point to address the areas of need and add talent…
The Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft continues, and now on the clock is the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts are beneficiaries of the no-trade clause in our mock draft, and can rest easy knowing a quarterback-needy team wasn’t going to jump them. That obviously remains a very real possibility on draft night, but as hard…
Pro Football Focus has picked a favorite and least favorite free agency move for each NFL team, and it chose a least favorite for the Detroit Lions becauese it had to. After the notable waves of free agency, it’s hard (if not impossible) to find a grade that’s not in the ‘A’ range for what
With all the questions around Jalen Carter now, should the Detroit Lions take the plunge and draft him anyway? Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter once had buzz as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft, and based on pure talent he might still be in that conversation today. He also happens to play

This week, a curious transaction appeared on the daily NFL wire. Back on Wednesday, the Detroit Lions waived former sixth-round pick John Penisini from the reserve/retirement list. It’s a curious transaction because a year ago, Penisini retired from the NFL. There would be no reason to change Penisini’s status unless he intends on returning to…
As a team with plenty of positive buzz around them, the Detroit Lions are lined up to play in a few prime time games in 2023. Coming off a 3-13-1 record in 2021, it was not surprising the Detroit Lions were not originally scheduled for any prime time games last season. Of course they had
The Detroit Lions are still doing their homework on Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter, but one ESPN analyst said the Lions would be the best fit for the polarizing prospect among the teams near the top of the 2023 NFL draft. “We talked about Jalen Carter earlier, where does he fit,” ESPN’s Matt Miller said
Brad Holmes would tell you the task of roster building is never finished, but after an aggressive free-agency period, the Lions general manager doesn’t have many items left on his shopping list ahead of April’s draft. Holmes checked another item off that list this week, bringing back wide receiver Marvin Jones to fill the roster
Legendary wide receiver Herman Moore talks with Mike Kimber about the Detroit Lions free agency. The Lions signed many players to help the defensive back room, including Cameron Sutton, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Marvin Jones Jr., and Emmanuel Moseley. How does Herman Moore feel about the aggressive nature of GM Brad Holmes? Does he believe the Lions
One of the more surprising moves the Detroit Lions made in free agency was signing running back David Montgomery. As Lions general manager Brad Holmes explained this week, the initial intention was to always bring back Jamaal Williams and they had even set aside a certain amount of funds to make sure he was re-signed.
