The NFL announced on Thursday that Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson has won the “Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year” award. “There were so many talented players in this rookie class, so it’s quite an honor for me to be named the 2022 Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Year,” Hutchinson said via…

Over the weekend, the Detroit Lions mic’d up a couple players at the 2023 Pro Bowl. As always, it’s interesting to see and hear some of our favorite Lions players at their most authentic selves. And with the unseriousness of the Pro Bowl, you won’t see the players any more casual than this.
Taking over a franchise and completely rebuilding things from the ground up sounds good in theory, but in reality it is an extremely difficult undertaking. Just ask Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Johnson. Way back in 1989 when Johnson first took the job as the head man for the Dallas Cowboys, the team was coming…
The NFL Combine is one of the most important events of the offseason calendar. Not only do teams get a clearer athletic picture of key NFL Draft prospects, but they get to meet formally with a selection of players they’re interested in the most. As we saw from last year’s behind-the-scenes video for the Lions,…
Lions running back Jamaal Williams made the interview rounds on Wednesday, and it’s not surprising he made a little noise. For as productive a player as he was this season, Jamaal Williams is clearly a vocal leader in the Detroit Lions locker room. During his postgame interview after the Week 18 win over the Green
In a fresh mock draft from the scouting department over at The 33rd Team, the Detroit Lions double-up on their biggest need in the first round. The Detroit Lions had a winning season this year for the first time since 2017, which may be disaffectionately known as “Pre-Patricia” by Lions fans. They are also pretty
It was easy to land on at least one or two narratives when Jared Goff was traded to the Lions, and he thinks he has debunked them. When the Detroit Lions traded Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams two years ago, at his request, Jared Goff was practically a throw-in coming back to Detroit.
The Detroit Lions have 28 players from their 2022 roster set to become free agents in 2023 (18 unrestricted, 10 restricted), and we are covering them all throughout the month of February. If you missed any of the previous articles, you can check them out here: CB Amani Oruwariye, RB Jamaal Williams, DT Isaiah Buggs,…
After the Senior Bowl and before Super Bowl LVII, here’s a fresh three-round 2023 mock draft for the Detroit Lions. The Senior Bowl uses the slogan “The Draft Starts in Mobile”, or something like that as I possibly clumsily paraphrase. It is an official ramp-up to the pre-draft process every year though, as the league
The NFL Honors are just a day away. On Thursday at 9 p.m. ET (live on both NBC and NFL Network) the winners for many postseason award will be revealed. The Detroit Lions are up for two honors for the night: offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is nominated for Assistant Coach of the Year, while Aidan…
This wasn’t only a special year for the Detroit Lions—a critical stepping stone of the franchise. This was also a record-breaking year for Pride of Detroit. We absolutely obliterated records when it comes to pageviews, podcast downloads, social media interactions, and all while making sure we aren’t ever diluting or sacrificing quality of content.
Not that he’s going anywhere in 2023, but the Detroit Lions now know what it’ll cost to pick up cornerback Jeff Okudah’s fifth-year option. As the third overall pick in the 2020 draft, the Detroit Lions have a decision to make on the fifth-year option for cornerback Jeff Okudah between now and May 1. After
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we’re sixty minutes of NFL football away from the offseason. We saw the last of the Detroit Lions for the 2022 season in the Pro Bowl games on Sunday, and most eyes are already on the draft. In the meantime, we still have the pinnacle…
It’s far too early to make any sweeping conclusions about the Detroit Lions’ 2022 draft class, but it’s fair to say the returns after one season are certainly promising. The Lions got starter reps out of Aidan Hutchinson, Kerby Joseph, Malcolm Rodriguez and James Houston, while they saw the tip of the iceberg potential in…
Jared Goff made an appearance on “The Rich Eisen Show” on Monday, and he had a new Dan Campbell story that is not at all surprising. Lions head coach Dan Campbell got some notoriety for talking about biting kneecaps during his introductory press conference at little over two years ago. As it turns out, that
In the first 2023 mock draft from ESPN’s Matt Miller, the Detroit Lions add an equal number of help to each side of the ball. For a lot of fans, with four top-60 picks to put the team in a nice position, it should be defense, defense, defense until the Detroit Lions are blue in
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – FEBRUARY 04: NFC center Frank Ragnow #77 of the Detroit Lions, NFC tackle Penei Sewell #58 of the Detroit Lions, NFC wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown #14 of the Detroit Lions and NFC quarterback Jared Goff #16 of the Detroit Lions pose for a photo during a practice session prior to
Darius Slay had a bad exit from the Detroit Lions, and even now in a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles he hasn’t forgotten about Matt Patricia. Darius Slay became one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL as a Detroit Lion, with three straight Pro Bowl selections from 2017-2019. But that wasn’t good enough
The Detroit Lions have 28 players from their 2022 roster set to become free agents in 2023 (18 unrestricted, 10 restricted), and we are covering them all throughout the month of February.

It’s Super Bowl week, and there are 30 franchises spending the next six days envious of the position the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs are in. These are two franchises that are not that far removed from their last Super Bowl wins, and they each look to be in a position where they could…
