As the Detroit Lions look to address a need at wide receiver, count Antwaan Randle El as a voice for an aggressive approach.

As the NFL’s hiring practices move into the light of a lawsuit, the Detroit Lions are alleged to have held a sham head coaching interview with Teryl Austin before hiring Matt Patricia.

There’s no doubt Jared Goff needs to improve heading into next season, but Lions general manager Brad Holmes feels the need to keep reminding everyone.

As the Cincinnati Bengals show a turnaround can happen fast, a quarterback the Lions may get in the 2022 draft has drawn a comparison to Joe Burrow. The Detroit Lions have of course won just one playoff game in the Super Bowl era, and the 30th anniversary of it just passed last month. Turnarounds haven’t
As the Detroit Lions get a close look at draft prospects down in Mobile, a quarterback has been tabbed as the ideal Senior Bowl prospect for them to target.
