For much of this offseason, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell has been given praise for his recruiting skills, both when it comes to amassing a coaching staff and free agency players. However, at least one NFL player turned down some interest from Campbell and the Lions. Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson told

The Miami Dolphins are back on the clock in our 2021 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. With the sixth pick in the draft, acting Dolphins general manager jjones164 selected Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons. With a big playmaker on defense already in tow, what will he do with the Dolphins’ second pick, 18th overall

After a free agency visit on Wednesday, former Bills safety Dean Marlowe has officially signed with the Detroit Lions, the team announced on Thursday morning. Marlowe went undrafted in 2015, but spent a few years with the Carolina Panthers in mostly a special teams role. In the past three years, however, he expanded his role

The Detroit Lions have a chance to something special right now. With Matthew Stafford gone, and just about everyone else along with him, the Lions find themselves in the perfect position to rebuild in a completely different way. For years, most teams have operated under the same old form. Let’s go out and draft a

During last week’s owners meetings, 11 new rules were proposed via the competition committee and specific NFL teams. Proposals varied from expanding jersey numbers for certain positions, overtime rule changes, and the addition of an eighth official, the ever-popular “sky judge.” If you want to know more of the rule proposals, all 11 are listed

Last week, it was revealed that NFL offseason activities would be pushed back a little from the normal schedule. Teams that would normally get a head start because they employed a new head coach will, instead, start offseason activities at the same time as everyone else: currently scheduled to be April 19. But Wednesday came

The Detroit Lions continue to examine ways to improve their thin secondary. Per ESPN’s Field Yates, the Lions are hosting former Buffalo Bills safety Dean Marlowe for a visit. The visit was confirmed by Thursday’s official transaction list. An undrafted prospect in 2015, Marlowe has carved out a pretty nice career for him over the

It’s a slow week in Detroit Lions news, so now is a good time to dust off the old mailbag. As expected, you all had a bunch of questions about the draft and quarterbacks and trades, trades, trades. I’ll try to make these written mailbags more of a common occurrence, so if you ever have

Let’s ignore the Detroit Lions roster right now—for weeks, we’ve hammered home that it’s fairly raw from top to bottom. Objectively, some positions carry a lot more value than others in the draft. For a dramatic example, you get a lot more value out of taking a quarterback than a nose tackle. That being said,

The 16-game schedule is dead. Long live the 16-game schedule. Last week, the NFL added a 17th game to each team’s schedule—a interconference matchup that will all be hosted by the AFC in 2021 and the NFC in 2022. The 16-game era lasted 43 years (1978 to 2020), and needless to say, it wasn’t exactly

We’re a little over three weeks away from the NFL Draft and that means we are nearing the point in the offseason where the rumor mill is in full force—and just like last year, the Lions’ position in the draft is beginning to get quite a bit of attention. “Eyes are on Atlanta and Detroit

Anyone that knows me knows that I have an obsession. Some people are sneakerheads and others collect weird things like stamps. I am hat head? Cap head? I like hats is what I’m trying to say. The kids these days say “no cap.” I say “yes cap.” Pride Of Detroit has allowed me to use

Last week, the Detroit Lions indicated that free agency was mostly done until the draft. Though they’ll likely add pieces here and there—as evidenced by the recent signings of Corn Elder and Quinton Dunbar—most of the significant pieces have been added before we get into the draft. So on this week’s PODcast, myself and Ryan

Normally, this would be the time of year in which the NFL releases their schedule for the upcoming season. A mid-April release typically gets a full night of coverage to drum up excitement. However, early reports are that the schedule release will be pushed back to mid-May this year. It’s unclear whether this is the
