My worlds are converging again. The Detroit Lions and the WWE that is. They’re about to go head to head in a way. Lions’ edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson and golf great Ricky Fowler will go head to head with one half of the world tag tram champions The Miz and his teammate at the Area
We all know the Detroit Lions have a solid offensive line. It was a huge reason for their success last year, and it’s why they aren’t expected to regress this year. Yes, they let Jonah Jackson walk in free agency, but the timely acquisition of Kevin Zeitler in free agency helped fill that roster vacancy…
Year 2 is always an important season for players looking to take their games to another level and that couldn’t be closer to the truth for Lions second-year cornerback Brian Branch. Detroit’s second-round pick from a year ago made an immediate impact as a rookie, registering 74 tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, three interceptions,
Bears While first-round QB Caleb Williams has been impressive in the early stages of offseason practices, Bears HC Matt Eberflus specifically mentioned snap cadence as something he wants to see Williams improve. “I thought today was his best day with [the cadence], actually,” Eberflus said, via ESPN’s Courtney Cronin. “In the huddle, he was crisp
It wasn’t long ago when linebacker Shaquille Leonard was one of the best defensive players in the entire NFL. He won the Defensive Rookie of the Year award in 2018 and then followed that up with four All-Pro seasons for the Colts. Then a concussion and back surgery in 2022 ended that elite run. Leonard
When the Detroit Lions training camp opens on July 20th, veteran players might notice a different atmosphere. After coming off an outstanding season that saw the team advance within one game of the Super Bowl, there is a palpable sense that, at long last, this team is destined for greatness. Training camp could be the
There’s been a really interesting discourse about Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes on social media since the day that the team hired him. There’s some playing on both sides of the fence. On one side there’s this idea that we know exactly what Holmes is going to do at all times. He’s a fiscally conservative guy
Some of the best stories that emerge from the NFL are players that went undrafted and carve themselves a serious role for a team. That is the case for Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond. He went undrafted in 2016 to the Denver Broncos and bounced around from the New York Jets, New York Giants
The Detroit Lions are all about getting their guys and then paying their guys. We saw that big time this offseason with massive extensions for Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Penei Sewell. It’s probably safe to assume that more deals are coming for players and that the team will look to sign some more
Quietly, the Detroit Lions still have a roster spot open on the 90-man roster. While there is no requirement for the Lions to carry a full roster to training camp, there’s little reason for Detroit to pass on the opportunity to fill the entire roster. Salary cap space is not an issue, so why not…
Despite the data from the last decade or so, the Detroit Lions bucked several trends last offseason by investing in the running back position. First, they signed veteran running back David Montgomery to a three-year, $18M deal. Montgomery is a powerfully-built, shifty runner who is capable of shrugging off arm-tackles and making defenders miss in…
Four years ago today, on June 23rd of 2020, Sheila Ford Hamp took over as the principal owner of the Detroit Lions. Hamp took the reins that day from her mother, Martha Firestone Ford, who had run the Lions since her late husband’s death in 2014. In looking back on that fateful day, the initial
With the Detroit Lions comfortably into their summer break, there’s not a lot of information coming out of Allen Park these days, so we recently asked fans to submit questions about the organization. We will be using some of those questions for upcoming podcasts (Detroit Lions Breakdown and Good Morning Pride), but we also wanted…
The Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings agreed to a major trade during the 2022 NFL Draft. Lions GM Brad Holmes shipped three picks to the division rival Vikings to move up and select Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams at No. 12 overall. The Lions also picked up No. 46 overall, a second-round pick that Holmes
