There are Hall of Famers or borderline Hall of Famers who never took
In this episode of Lions Nation Unite mailbag segment, we talk about the possibility for the Detroit Lions to draft C.J. Stroud if he is available with pick 6. Should the Lions draft the QB if he is available? Also, what is the holdup for the Lions signing QB Teddy Bridgewater? Will the Lions get
Our 2023 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft has made it into the second round, and so far, we have seen 54 picks come off the board, bringing us back to the Detroit Lions and pick No. 55 overall. If you haven’t been following along with all of the selections, you can get caught up…
The NFL suspended Jameson Williams on Friday for something legal in 26 states and Canada. Williams, the Lions’ precocious second-year receiver, was banned six games for placing online bets on non-NFL games from an NFL facility in a probe that also snared three of his Detroit Lions teammates. Stanley Berryhill was suspended six games for
Do as I say, not as I do. It should very well be the new mantra of the National Football League. The NFL has tried its best to defend its brand integrity and uphold its platform as one of the kings of entertainment. In theory, no player is greater than the shield. The well-being of…

The Detroit Lions are in a strange position that we haven’t seen them in for quite a while: they don’t really have many glaring holes on the roster. That is thanks to general manager Brad Holmes’ extremely active free agency period where he was able to attack the team’s biggest need at cornerback, while bringing…
The NFL specializes in hypocrisy. Two years ago, the league partnered with DraftKings, FanDuel and Caesars Entertainment to promote … gambling. Yet the league forbids its players to open their FanDuel or DraftKings apps while they’re on franchise property and place bets. Not just bets on NFL teams — that’s understandable, obviously — but on
In a fresh 7-round mock draft, do the Detroit Lions react to a sudden potential need with a bold move? You don’t need national analysts to tell you that the Detroit Lions are in a good position heading into the 2023 NFL Draft, but it’s nice when that sentiment gets confirmed. With four of the

Detroit — The Lions just lost their prized young receiver, Jameson Williams, for nearly half a season. GM Brad Holmes just lost a little luster off his drafting acumen. And the team just took a hit to its well-groomed culture reputation, with four of its players suspended by the NFL for violating gambling policies. But
Somewhere in the sweet hereafter, probably on the 50-yard line at Tiger Stadium against the Packers, Alex Karras is laughing right now. Because of course it would be his team, the Detroit Lions, who got pinched the hardest by the NFL’s hypocritical hand Friday, when the league announced it suspended star receiver Jameson Williams, three
The Detroit Lions didn’t make the playoffs last year, but they were playing games that mattered in the last few weeks of the season and it’s not often that we see that. The Lions went 9-8 and are a popular dark-horse contender as we approach the 2023 season. Detroit made some key additions in free
