For six seasons, the Patriot Way was the only way he knew. Now, in his first spring under a non-New England coaching staff, Trey Flowers is reinventing himself as a football player. Flowers, who is switching from defensive end to outside linebacker in new Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn’s scheme, said on Day 2 of
One of the best punters in the NFL has spent a large part of his offseason working on holding. Pro Bowl punter Jack Fox said on Day 2 of Detroit Lions minicamp Wednesday that he changed his holding stance this spring to hold kicks from more of a side angle. “I think I’ve gotten to
Allen Park — It’s too soon for narratives when it comes to this edition of the Lions. There’s a new general manager, a new coaching staff and new schemes on offense, defense and special teams. There’s also a new quarterback for the first time a dozen years, and nearly 50 new faces on the 90-man roster
Allen Park — If there’s one player who embodied the Patriot Way more than any other during coach Matt Patricia’s tenure in Detroit, it was defensive end Trey Flowers. Flowers is a no-nonsense guy who is all about football, is a perfectionist with his fundamentals and can be relied upon to do his job, play in and
It’s closer to something that every coach does than it is reinventing the wheel, but Dan Campbell has made competition a staple of his practices as Detroit Lions coach. There’s the usual ways: One-on-one drills between receivers and defensive backs, and seven-on-seven sessions of offense vs. defense. But Campbell (or his assistants) also have devised games

The Detroit Lions open the 2021 season in 95 days, but the last thing on head coach Dan Campbell’s mind for now is their Week 1 opponent, the San Francisco 49ers. “We have to get our house in order before we can think about San Francisco, I know that,” Campbell said Wednesday before the Lions’

New Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes recently sat down for a wide-ranging interview with The Detroit News to discuss his first five months on the job, as well as his philosophies when it comes to scouting. Part 1 of the interview published Tuesday. Part 2 is below. Questions are paraphrased, and some of the answers are
Detroit Lions General Manager Brad Holmes (Photo by Leon Halip/Getty Images) Every year around this time Detroit Lions fans are fed a steady stream of puff pieces and content designed to get them to buy tickets and sip down some smooth summer Kool-Aid. Although we love it, expectations tend to get inflated based on how
Jared Goff dropped back to pass for the Detroit Lions — OK, wait a second. Yes, that sounds weird. And it looked even stranger, not seeing Matthew Stafford back there. It’s going to take some time to get used to this. Anyhow, Goff dropped back to pass during a seven-on-seven drill in the red zone
Jared Goff took the Los Angeles Rams to the Super Bowl running Sean McVay’s offense, then crashed and burned badly enough that two years later he was shipped out of town. Given a clean slate and the chance to resurrect his career with the Detroit Lions, Goff is saddling up a new offense this spring,
Allen Park — Coming from Los Angeles to Detroit has been a breath of fresh air for quarterback Jared Goff. That’s not because he was escaping the smog that has long plagued the West Coast’s biggest city, but because he was in desperate need for a new beginning. No one really wants to talk about how
Day 1 went to the defense. The Detroit Lions held their first of three mandatory minicamp practices Tuesday, and head coach Dan Campbell’s quest for competition led to a banner day from the defense. The Lions devoted a good chunk of Tuesday’s practice to red zone work and they finished the session with 17 snaps of
Allen Park — For most of us, it’s inconceivable to give up $200,000 for a few days of work, but Detroit Lions linebacker Jamie Collins had a good reason. Instead of showing up for voluntary OTA practices the past couple of weeks, and securing a workout bonus built into his contract, Collins opted to stay
Allen Park — Detroit Lions offensive tackle Tyrell Crosby hasn’t been living under a rock. He’s relatively active on social media, particularly on Twitter, so of course he’s heard the rumors from last month that the team put him on the trading block after drafting Penei Sewell. But Crosby, who was in attendance for the first day of
Tyrell Crosby has been friends with Penei Sewell dating back to Sewell’s recruitment at Oregon. Crosby was born in Utah, where Sewell grew up, so the two had a natural connection before Sewell replaced Crosby on the Ducks’ offensive line. Crosby said Tuesday he was happy to see the Detroit Lions make Sewell the No.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell is always good for a sound bite. But on the national level, it’s been what has defined him. In his introductory press conference in January, Campbell spoke for nearly an hour, but it was his short rant about coaching a resilient team, wrapped in the metaphor of players biting kneecaps, that became the
