The impact of a reliable offensive line is not to be understated. A top-tier offensive line can bolster both facets of the offense, from plowing lanes for running backs to giving quarterback and receivers time to connect. The Detroit Lions have some stellar pieces along their offensive line, but a major question remains entering 2023:…

DeMeco Ryans probably knows Emmanuel Moseley as well as any coach would, so his praise of the new Lions cornerback should not be taken lightly. If not for suffering a torn ACL last October, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley would have surely gotten a solid multi-year deal on the free agent market in March. But he ended up
The Detroit Lions are legimately in a “take the best player available” position in the 2023 NFL Draft, and here’s a fresh mock to try to narrow down to one possible outcome. After a noteworthy run through free agency, the Detroit Lions now have four of the top 55 picks in the draft at the
The Detroit Lions are reshaping their training department, now hiring Mike Sundeen as their new head athletic trainer. The Detroit Lions are looking to improve in all areas, and player health and performance is clearly a focus in recent months. After hiring Brett Fischer as the new Director of Player Health and Performance in February,
The Detroit Lions have hired Michael Sundeen as their new head athletic trainer, according to a report from the Detroit Free Press. Sundeen replaces Kevin Bastin, who was the head trainer for the Lions in two different spans: from 2014-2019 and again in 2021-2022. It’s unclear why the Lions are moving on from Bastin, but…
Our 2023 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft is underway and over the next four weeks, members/commenters of the Pride of Detroit community will be making selections for every pick in the first two rounds. I have the privilege to represent the Detroit Lions and will be making both picks No. 6 and 18 for…
It’s not an especially promising update, but Lions head coach Dan Campbell did have an injury update on defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike this week. Heading into his second season, after a rookie season hampered by injury, the Detroit Lions had high hopes for defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike. But it was not to be, as he
David Montgomery was one of the top free agent running backs available, and the Detroit Lions had plenty of competition to sign him. When talks to bring Jamaal Williams back stalled out, the Detroit Lions made quite a pivot to former Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery. Montgomery is an undeniable upgrade over Williams, who
The Detroit Lions are one of a few NFL teams with a woman in charge as its principal/controlling owner, so it makes sense that the team has a strong commitment to including women in its football operations and outreach. Sheila Hamp has done an incredible job, recognized by both the fans and the football community…
If you’re not familiar with how the Detroit Lions roundup works, each week we collect data from the latest expert mock drafts published over the last seven days and compile them (with links to the original pieces) in one easy-to-access article. In addition to providing Lions’ fans with the names of prospects being paired with…
The Detroit Lions’ defense was abysmal for most of the 2022 season, and finished 28th in defensive DVOA to end the year—an ever-so-slight improvement from 29th the year before. All of that is not lost on general manager Brad Holmes, who has made it a point to address the areas of need and add talent…
The Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft continues, and now on the clock is the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts are beneficiaries of the no-trade clause in our mock draft, and can rest easy knowing a quarterback-needy team wasn’t going to jump them. That obviously remains a very real possibility on draft night, but as hard…
Pro Football Focus has picked a favorite and least favorite free agency move for each NFL team, and it chose a least favorite for the Detroit Lions becauese it had to. After the notable waves of free agency, it’s hard (if not impossible) to find a grade that’s not in the ‘A’ range for what
With all the questions around Jalen Carter now, should the Detroit Lions take the plunge and draft him anyway? Georgia defensive tackle Jalen Carter once had buzz as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft, and based on pure talent he might still be in that conversation today. He also happens to play
As a team with plenty of positive buzz around them, the Detroit Lions are lined up to play in a few prime time games in 2023. Coming off a 3-13-1 record in 2021, it was not surprising the Detroit Lions were not originally scheduled for any prime time games last season. Of course they had
This week, a curious transaction appeared on the daily NFL wire. Back on Wednesday, the Detroit Lions waived former sixth-round pick John Penisini from the reserve/retirement list. It’s a curious transaction because a year ago, Penisini retired from the NFL. There would be no reason to change Penisini’s status unless he intends on returning to…
One of the more surprising moves the Detroit Lions made in free agency was signing running back David Montgomery. As Lions general manager Brad Holmes explained this week, the initial intention was to always bring back Jamaal Williams and they had even set aside a certain amount of funds to make sure he was re-signed.
For as long as the NFL Draft has existed, the movement of draft picks from one team to another has been standard practice, and it’s only become more prevalent over time. Teams are always looking to make a move to better position themselves for the players they’ve set their sights on in the draft, and…
Divas are real in the NFL. Locker room cancers are, too. These things have existed over the course of the NFL’s long history. I can’t and I won’t dispute it. However, this narrative is thrown around incredibly loosely these days. Anytime a player does anything that fans don’t like, they’re immediately pelted directly in the…
Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph had three interceptions off Aaron Rodgers during his rookie season, but he believes he should’ve had more. When was drafted in the third round last April, Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph was advertised as a ballhawk coming off five interceptions in his final season at Illinois. That came to fruition
