We here in Detroit have had a long history of… let’s just say “contentious” columnists. In particular, opinion pieces surrounding the Detroit Lions have ranged from reactionary to alarmist to downright stupid. Of course, this franchise has warranted it for decades and decades of losing, but with the team legitimately turning a corner now, the…
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.

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
