The Detroit Lions concluded mandatory minicamp last week, which—for many Lions—means the last team activities before training camp at the end of July. While there is still a week of OTAs left, veterans are not expected to be around. In other words, most of the big observations about this team’s offseason activities are done.
Starling Thomas V made Bruce Feldman’s annual “Freaks List” last fall because of his world class speed. The undrafted free agent Detroit Lions cornerback was a high school sprint champion in Alabama who was clocked at running 24 mph on GPS tracking data in-game at Alabama-Birmingham. “I used to (joke) I’d get a speeding ticket
Yeah, he could be a little bigger, and he’d be the first to tell you that, and tell you that he’s looking to add a few pounds to help him handle the blows he’ll take as a running back in the NFL. But right now, that’s quibbling, and speculation, and assuming we know what’s best
The Detroit Lions repaired their relationship with Hall of Fame wide receiver Calvin Johnson, and he expressed his willingness to help a young player on the team. Following his retirement from the NFL back in 2016, wide receiver Calvin Johnson’s relationship with the Detroit Lions became estranged, due in part to the $1.6 million signing
Detroit Lions mailbag starts with the Detroit Lions defense under Aaron Glenn and the new players such as C.J. Gardner Johnson and Cameron Sutton. Can the Detroit Lions’ defense be top 16 in the NFL? Also, should the Lions sign QB Teddy Bridgewater or former Detroit Lions Ndamukong Suh? Mike Kimber from Lions Nation Unite

As strange as this sounds, Chase Young could be potentially on his way out of the nation’s capital. The former No. 2 overall pick of the now Washington Commanders flourished in

We are nearly there. The thick of the NFL offseason is about to be upon us, with the next major event not until late July, when players report for mandatory training camp. For the Detroit Lions, that means long hours spent at their facility in Allen Park, Michigan. And while there isn’t necessarily anything wrong…
Former Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker is, without question, the Detroit Lions’ most interesting draft pick. Selected in the third round, Hooker’s range of possibilities with the Lions is the largest of any selection made this past April. While he’ll have a slow start to his NFL career—battling through ACL tear recovery and a steep learning…
Charles Harris has been here before, the forgotten man on the Detroit Lions defense, clawing his way out from the wreckage of a lost season, and it brought out the best in him. Harris was a reclamation project when he signed with the Lions in 2021, a former first-round pick whose career seemed to be
Allen Park — They don’t know what they don’t know. But, that’s really not the point here. C.J. Gardner-Johnson has one idea. Taylor Decker has another. And when you put those ideas together, you do get a better sense of where they think this Lions team might be headed this fall. A better appreciation, too,

Detroit — Who knew Detroit’s favorite football team were “Swifties”? The Lions joined the chorus of thousands of fans descending on the Motor City this weekend from across the state, country and world, anticipating Taylor Swift’s two soldout shows at Ford Field as part of her Eras tour. Players took to the team’s Instagram page
Allen Park — 3…2…1…wait! Mandatory minicamp will officially come to a close for the Detroit Lions on Monday, meaning football activity at large is about to come to a vicious halt. And after all the excitement that was building in Allen Park over the last few weeks, all the questions about Week 1 at Kansas
The Detroit Lions kicked off their 2023 NFL Draft with a trade down. With a little help from Arizona Cardinals assistant general manager Dave Sears—who was poached from the Lions this offseason—Detroit moved back from Pick 6 to Pick 12 overall. The entire terms of the trade were; Lions get: Pick 12 Pick 34 (second
Allen Park — Asked which players have made the most noticeable improvements during these early stages of the offseason program, one of the first names mentioned by Detroit Lions coach Campbell was Ifeatu Melifonwu. With Tracy Walker still working his way back from last year’s Achilles injury, Melifonwu, the third-year defensive back out of Syracuse,
Taylor Decker was angry. Maybe you remember. His Detroit Lions had just lost to the Buffalo Bills on Thanksgiving. A last-second field goal did them in, another gut-punch in a string of them the first half of last season. Thirty minutes after the game, Decker, all 6 feet, 7 inches of him, stood near his
We’ve seen this too many times. Nick Fairley. Eric Ebron. Charles Rogers. These Detroit Lions were high first-round draft picks who carried the hopes of the team and either fell far short of fulfilling their potential or were outright busts. These were Lions whose stories might have turned out differently — should have turned out
Allen Park — It’s been 17 months since Levi Onwuzurike last played in a football game — and he still lacks a clear timetable to return to action following back surgery last October — yet the Detroit Lions third-year defensive tackle continues to show up to work every day with a smile on his face.
It’s not a coincidence that the Kansas City Chiefs are connected to a lot of big-name players who become potentially available. Same with the New England Patriots back in the day, or the Los Angeles Rams in the not-so-distant past. The Detroit Lions are now regularly entering those conversations. After nabbing former New Orleans Saints
