Jameson Williams’ abbreviated rookie season served as a tease of what he’s capable of, and offensive coordinator Ben Johnson plans to get that potential out next season. As he worked his way back to full strength coming off a torn ACL, Jameson Williams‘ rookie season was always lined up to be a developmental step and

After he interviewed for the Buccaneers offensive coordinator post, Lions running backs coach Scottie Montgomery will be staying put. In a fairly weird, quick turn, just-hired Detroit Lions running backs coach Scottie Montgomery interviewed for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator job on Monday. It seemed unlikely he’d get the job, if only because he

Free agency hasn’t even started, and the Detroit Lions may have already made their most important move of the offseason. Last month after taking a few interviews, offensive coordinator Ben Johnson opted to pull his name out of head coaching consideration, and the Lions reportedly rewarded him with a significant raise. Johnson is considered one…
The Super Bowl is over, meaning it is officially draft season for NFL fans (though perhaps it has been draft season for a while in Detroit). However, for those interested in consuming some actual football, there will be no shortage of content this NFL offseason, with multiple leagues scheduled to play this year.
There was a brief concern that Detroit Lions assistant head coach/running backs coach Scottie Montgomery wasn’t going to be with the team for more than a couple of weeks. After the Lions announced his hiring last Wednesday, Montgomery interviewed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their offensive coordinator job this week.
If you know anything about Detroit Lions’ coach Dan Campbell, you know he is a one-of-a-kind type of personality. From his opening press conference to various soundbites from his tenure as a coach—Campbell keeps you on your toes. Which is why this story from Lions’ star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown isn’t really that surprising when…

It feels inevitable he’ll just re-sign, but one of these five teams could sign Jamaal Williams away from the Detroit Lions in free agency. After a solid first season with the Detroit Lions in 2021 (601 rushing yards), Jamaal Williams took it to another level in 2022. He was the franchise’s first 1,000-yard rusher since
It’s not an earth-shattering development, but Todd McShay has the Detroit Lions adding two pieces to their defense in his new mock draft. In theory, the Detroit Lions can viably go multiple different directions with their two first-round picks in April. Ask fans, and they want defense, defense, defense. That thought is certainly justified, given
If you’ve been following along with Erik Schlitt’s excellent Mock Draft Roundup series for every Saturday of the last 10 weeks, you’ve likely familiarized yourself with the most commonly mocked players to the Detroit Lions at both 6 and 18 overall. That first pick is typically either a quarterback or a defender like Clemson defensive…
For the most part, the NFC disappointed in 2022. At the bottom of the conference, the Bears, Cardinals, and Rams all finished as bottom-six teams in the league. At the top of the conference, there appeared to be a lot of pretenders. The Vikings and Cowboys turned out to be worse than their record suggested,…

Super Bowl 57 came and went with spectacle, fanfare, and of course, controversy, like seemingly every big game these days. The football was fun, up until the last two minutes. I wasn’t a fan of the halftime show, but there seems to be a spectrum of opinions on that. One thing we can all unite…
The Detroit Lions didn’t really need extra motivation before Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers, but Dan Campbell found some fodder to do so. On the “Sunday Night Football” stage, and with chance to finish with a winning record if they beat the rival Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, the Detroit Lions probably
In a new three-round mock from NFL.com, the Detroit Lions go an interesting direction with some of the picks. Now that the 2022 NFL season is over, it’s all-in on mock draft season for those who partake. The Detroit Lions are in a nice draft capital position, with four of the top-60 picks in April’s
There’s proof of concept we’ve just seen, and the Detroit Lions take their shot at a quarterback with upside in Pro Football Focus’ latest 2023 mock draft. The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles just competed in Super Bowl LVII. They’ve both generally been good teams in the last handful-plus years. When they drafted Patrick
Not many teams in the NFL finished hotter than the Detroit Lions. In the final 10 weeks of the regular season, only the Bengals (8-0), 49ers (9-0), and Chiefs (9-1) finished better than Detroit’s 8-2 record—and all three of those teams ended up making the Conference Championship round of the playoffs.
The Detroit Lions found themselves hampered by their defensive bugaboos more often than not in 2023. While the second half of the season saw a proper turnaround and was marked by fine performances from their rookie stars, there’s a long way to go if the Lions want to look to their defense and trust that…
Former Detroit Lions coach Jim Caldwell is officially back in the NFL. On Tuesday, the Carolina Panthers announced that Caldwell has been hired as their senior assistant under new head coach Frank Reich.
