Former Lions running back Kevin Smith was a pretty good football player during his time in the NFL. Turns out he’s also pretty good in basketball as well. Smith, who spent five seasons with the Lions from 2008-2012, is now the running backs coach for Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss. He is in his second
The Detroit Lions are making some final moves before the start of the 2024 NFL regular season.

A 2018 fourth-round pick by the Chicago Bears out of Western Kentucky, the 28-year-old has 65 games of NFL experience between the Bears and Panthers franchises. He was
With Saturday serving as the final preseason opportunity, Fountain could use a strong showing. Others around him at the position have popped, with Kaden Davis scoring a 61-yard touchdown and Isaiah Williams displaying his dynamic playmaking ability. Fountain has the size to be a difference-maker, but hasn’t been tasked with displaying it in either of
The public is leaning heavily toward the hangover of letting a Super Bowl appearance slip away being less severe than the headache of actually losing the Super Bowl.
