The NFL Combine has little to do with actually playing football, and Lions head coach Dan Campbell put the event in its proper place with a epic and perfect quote. A tentpole event in the pre-draft process every year is the NFL Combine, and it’s happening this week in Indianapolis. Not all of the league’s
Last year, the NFL media got it wrong. Many had Liberty quarterback Malik Willis as a first-round talent capable of potentially even going in the top 10.

It shouldn’t include Jalen Ramsey, unless the Rams’ cornerback can convince his team’s front office to ship him to Detroit for a couple of sixth-round picks and then offer to pay half of his $25 million salary cap hit. That’s ridiculous,
In an effort to educate union members and identify areas of improvement for the league’s 32 teams, the NFLPA conducted a poll of players regarding the conditions of team facilities. In the results, the Detroit Lions scored well in several areas, while also showing some areas its roster would like to see improvements. The Lions
