We continue our Detroit Lions free agent profile series with one of the tougher decisions facing the team. Alex Anzalone has been a leader of this defense and has consistently gotten better during his time in Detroit. But linebacker play has been subpar overall in the past two years, and it may be time for…

When it comes to working the phones on draft day, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes isn’t afraid to pick it up and make a call. In his second draft at the helm, Holmes packaged up picks and sent them to Minnesota in order to move up 20 spots and take wide receiver Jameson Williams.…
Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson just finished his rookie season and has plenty to be proud of. He may have come just short in winning Defensive Rookie of the Year honors, but he was named Pepsi Rookie of the Year, broke plenty of franchise records along the way, and helped orchestrate a big second-half…

We’ve now arrived at the conclusion of the NFL playoffs, where the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are set to square off in Arizona for Super Bowl LVII. We shouldn’t be all that surprised. These are the two teams with the best records in their respective conferences. Each team is stacked with talent on…
It’s finally here—Super Bowl week. And you know what that means for football fans around the country. It’s time to break out that favorite recipe for whatever party you are attending.

Aidan Hutchinson may have won the fan-voted Pepsi Rookie of the Year award on Thursday morning, but he didn’t walk away with the hardware at Thursday night’s NFL Honors event. The Associated Press, instead, chose New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner as the 2022 Defensive Rookie of the Year.
The NFL Honors is taking place on Thursday night in Arizona, awarding some of the best performances of the 2022 season. The first award of the night leaked before the event even started, and it’s bad news for Detroit Lions fans. The Assistant Coach of the Year award did not go to Lions offensive coordinator…

We’ve come to the end of our 2022 Pride of Detroit Awards, and the the granddaddy of them all. “Most Valuable Player” is a term that is always the center of debate. Does it mean the “best” player or do you take the words more literally and pick the player who brings the team the…
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.

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.
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…
