Pride of Detroit

According to a report from New York reporter Connor Hughes, the Detroit Lions are trading for Jets receiver Denzel Mims. (Note: Josina Anderson broke that trade talks were ongoing) Earlier in the day, there were reports that the Jets were prepared to cut Mims, but it appears the Lions opted not to take their chances…

Detroit Lions training camp tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. ET on Wednesday morning, and just after 5 p.m. ET on the same day, the team announced every ticket has been claimed. Unlike last year, the Lions were requiring fans to acquire tickets (for free) to attend practice. With six different training camp practices…

We’ve reached the 60s when it comes to our countdown of the entire Detroit Lions 2023 roster. Typically, this range is where you’ll continue to find relative long-shots to make the 53-man roster. However, it’s different for the Lions this year. Many—if not, all—of these players have a legitimate shot at making the roster, showcasing…

As a liminal team, the Detroit Lions looked to veteran leadership from the outside at the start of the Dan Campbell regime. It is an ephemeral job, the kind of euphemism that comes with rebuilding efforts, job training that pushes out the trainer overtime. Alex Anzalone’s role was always to assist in rebuilding the linebacker…

It’s that time of year again. Every year, I tell myself I won’t waste my breath on Madden’s video game rankings of Detroit Lions players. Every year, it gets to me. I guess that’s probably on purpose on their end. I really tried this year, guys.

The Detroit Lions entered the week with two members of their 2023 NFL Draft class still unsigned. That no longer remains the case, as first-round running back Jahmyr Gibbs signed his rookie deal on Monday, and second-round defensive back Brian Branch followed suit a day later. Now all eight picks from the Lions’ 2023 class…

Detroit Lions rookies are to report to training camp on Wednesday, but before quarterback Hendon Hooker flies up to Michigan, he’s been doing the media rounds. As part of the SEC Media Day festivities, Hooker spent Monday doing several radio and television spots, and throughout several of them, he provided quick updates on his health.

Training camp is on the horizon. The smell of football is on the air, and it’s not that musky just yet. It’s the first of many stations of “the return of football,” where we force baseball out of the way and tell the basketball nerds to be quiet with their psychotic free agency ramblings that…

Teammates are poking fun at a funny new video of Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery having a bit of a tough time with a resistance band. Now I want it to be known this is all in good fun — that man is incredibly strong and most of you couldn’t do a fraction of…

Our rankings of the Detroit Lions’ entire 2023 roster continues with players 80 through 71. This group of players should all be considered relative long-shots to make the roster, but don’t be surprised to see a lot of these players stick around on the practice squad. There is some talent amongst this group, and as…

As we make our way through our Detroit Lions roster preview series, next up we have defensive tackle Isaiah Buggs. Buggs played his college football at the University of Alabama and was originally drafted in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Prior to the 2022 season, he was signed…

As we approach Detroit Lions training camp at the end of the week, it’s time to take one last overview of the team’s roster. While roster limits are currently at 90, the Lions are one of a few teams that actually have 91 players due to the NFC North being a part of the NFL’s…

For as hyped as we get about the NFL Draft, the reality is that only a fraction of the draft picks will work out. Whether due to poor performances, injuries, or a loaded roster, many draft selections only last a short while with their original team—if they make it a single season at all.

When he was first selected 12th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions, there were some fans out there that were concerned over the lack of smiles coming from University of Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams. Why wasn’t he smiling? Is he not happy to be in Detroit? Both of those noitions…

The 33rd team posted an article on Thursday with six dark horse candidates for Most Valuable Player in the upcoming NFL season. As expected, nearly all of them were quarterbacks: only WR Justin Jefferson on the Vikings played some other position. Each surprise MVP candidate got a writeup from one of the site’s analysts, and…

All offseason, many circled defensive tackle as one of the Detroit Lions’ biggest needs. However, the Lions didn’t make any splashy moves there. Outside of spending a late third-round pick on a defensive tackle, the Lions only invested in the position by re-signing players from last year’s roster.

ESPN is continuing its list of the top 10 players at each NFL position, as voted on by league executives, coaches, scouts, and players. Earlier, Detroit Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson cracked the top safeties list, and now a second Lions player has been given those honors at his position.

The Detroit Lions surprised a lot of people this offseason by moving on from their top two running backs after the duo produced an above-average rushing attack in 2022. Jamaal Williams set a franchise record with 17 rushing touchdowns, while D’Andre Swift added 931 scrimmage yards and eight touchdowns of his own. In total, the…

We’re now less than three weeks away from the start of training camp for the Detroit Lions. Though we’re still quite a ways away from meaningful football, training camp can be a fun time, whether you’re attending yourself or just reading what the media has to say. The hype is at its peak, every player…

We’re in the thick of July, but I’m already starting to feel the Summer Scaries. With the opening Detroit Lions training camp just over a week away, soon this light period of work will be no more. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t remember the last time I’ve been this excited for a season of…
