When it comes to identifying the Detroit Lions’ best pass rusher, there isn’t much of a discussion. It’s Aidan Hutchinson and it’s not even close. If you need a reminder, Hutchinson not only had 11.5 sacks last year—the most from a Lions player since Ezekiel Ansah in 2017—but his 121 pressures (via PFF, including playoffs)…
Lions head coach Dan Campbell is a proud native Texan. Campbell tapped into his Texas roots by rejoining a Dallas radio station for a segment on a show that he used to do a weekly appearance with during his playing days. He’s come a long way from being the Cowboys backup tight end 20 years
After ten long years, EA Sports is ready to grace the world with another college football game, and with it, they are bringing a unique twist we haven’t seen before. In the time since we last had a college football game, the game mode “Ultimate Team” has taken a stranglehold on the gaming community. With
The 2023 season was a cathartic one for the Detroit Lions and their fans. After suffering through poor and mediocre play for the last 30 years, the Lions exploded for 12 wins, an NFC North title and a trip to the conference championship game, where they held a third-quarter lead before falling to the San
The Detroit Lions added some talent to the defensive line in the offseason. It’s a needed bolstering of what was one of the team’s weaker position groups in 2023. And 2022. And a few seasons before that, too. The good news is that the Lions have two legit starting defensive tackles and some appreciable depth
On Friday night, news broke that the Detroit Pistons had hired Kevin Burleson to be an assistant coach alongside new head coach J.B. Bickerstaff. And before you even ask, yes, he is related. Kevin Burleson is the brother of former NFL receiver Nate Burleson, who played four years with the Detroit Lions from 2010 to…
When Dan Campbell was first introduced as the Detroit Lions new head coach a few years ago, let’s just say, some people weren’t ready for it. While those people are eating crow these days, Campbell revealed on a Texas radio show there was a time when he himself thought coaching wasn’t in the cards. He…
The Detroit Lions are heading into the 2024 regular season with high expectations, and many are expecting them to win their division for a second year in a row, with possibly another deep playoff run in sight.

Sam LaPorta emerged as one of the top rookies in the NFL last season, and heading into 2024, higher-ups throughout the league believe he’s already among the elite at his position. According to an ESPN survey voted on by NFL executives, coaches and scouts, LaPorta is the fourth-ranked tight end in the league. The only
The Lions made Jack Campbell the first inside linebacker to come off the board in last year’s draft. The No. 18 pick did not, however, enter his rookie season with a starting defensive role in hand. Veteran Alex Anzalone enjoyed a career year in 2023, racking up 129 tackles and three sacks. Derrick Barnes, meanwhile, saw
Are the New Orleans Saints seriously aiming to win the Super Bowl in 2024? Amon-Ra St. Brown certainly does not think so. St. Brown made some comments about the Saints’ ambitions as part of the “St. Brown Podcast” that he recorded with his brother Equanimeous. The two were discussing whether every team seriously believes they
The Jimmy Garoppolo era in Las Vegas wasn’t long or particularly fruitful, and star receiver Davante Adams may have had something to do with it. After going just 3-3 as the Raiders’ starter through October, the team benched Garoppolo midseason in favor of rookie Aidan O’Connell — a move we now know Adams endorsed thanks
Detroit Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown is gaining quite a few new fans after appearing in Netflix’s new sports documentary Receiver, which was released on the platform this week.
