The Detroit Lions are going to be one of the most interesting teams to watch in the 2024 season. Part of the reason why is that they secured a lot of key players such as QB Jared Goff to long-term contract extensions. However, an important note here is the Lions also managed to retain OC
CB Terrion Arnold Arnold notched his second pick of the offseason on Thursday after he secured one in rookie minicamp. The play came in coverage against Jameson Williams, with Jared Goff throwing the football. “Arnold made a great break on a comeback route from Williams and made a terrific catch,” Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com wrote.

Former Tennessee Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker is shaking off the rust as he enters his second season with the Detroit Lions. Hooker, a third round selection by the Lions in the 2023 NFL Draft, didn’t appear in any games as a rookie last season while he recovered from the torn ACL that he suffered in
Expectations were always going to be sky-high for Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson.

It’s been a lot of fun being optimistic about the Detroit Lions in the last few years. This team has drafted well, they’ve signed well , coached well and they’ve played well. We’re a long way away from the Matt Patricia days. At this point, the Lions are expected to be one of the few
Brodric Martin didn’t play much as a rookie in 2023. Despite being a third-round pick by the Lions out of Western Kentucky, Martin was a healthy scratch for far more games than he played, even though Detroit’s defensive line lacked depth and oomph. That should change in 2024 thanks to a changed Martin. He’s visibly
Being able to progress through their reads is a key component of every NFL quarterback’s game. It was also one of the key potential concerns surrounding Detroit Lions second-year quarterback Hendon Hooker when he entered the NFL Draft in 2023.

Last week during the first week of OTAs, the Detroit Lions offense looked like it had some significant rust. They opened 11-on-11s with three straight incompletions, a near interception, and a draw play that went nowhere. Soon after, Jameson Williams dropped a big pass, and while the offense eventually recovered, it was more bad than…
