Pride of Detroit

Meko Scott and I (Morgan Cannon) are back on the Pride of Detroit YouTube channel discussing comments from Detroit Lions’ star edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson on where he is with his injury rehab, along with a few more relevant draft topics as we get closer to the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

A couple weeks back, Detroit Lions star defensive end Aidan Hutchinson shared a video of him running at the team facility, indicating he was near the end of the rehab from his broken leg. This past weekend, Hutchinson was at The Masters golf tournament and sat down with reporter Marty Smith, and provided a full…

Now that the Detroit Lions domino has fallen, with Erik Schlitt selecting Boston College edge defender Donovan Ezeiruaku at 28 overall, it’s time to finish out the first round in our 2025 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. If you haven’t been following along, this is our site-wide mock draft where commenters from Pride of…

The Grit Index has returned and we’re unveiling the results in a new series of articles. First up, we take a look at the offensive skill players in the 2025 NFL Draft class. In a recent article, we detailed how our process of developing the Grit Index has evolved over the past three offseasons, but…

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has made one thing pretty darn clear throughout his four years of draft: if there’s a prospect that he likes, he’s not going to be afraid to go and get him. In four drafts, he’s traded up for the following prospects:

Much of the conversation surrounding the Detroit Lions and who they may pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is focused on the offensive and defensive lines, but the team is doing their due diligence on one of the best skill position prospects this year’s class has to offer. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network,…

At the NFL owners meetings a couple weeks back, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes noted that the Lions are not done adding to their offensive line. “We still need to make sure that he (Christian MahoganY) has competition, and it’s part of—we bring (Ka)yode (Awosika) back and we’ll still be looking at possibly another…

Note: This article kicks off our 2025 NFL Draft preview series, where our staff makes their case for several different candidates for the Detroit Lions’ 28th overall pick. Are you surprised I want to see a Michigan Wolverine in the Honolulu blue? Thankfully, one of the biggest needs for the Detroit Lions heading into the…

Our 2025 Pride of Detroit Community Mock is well underway, and over the past couple of weeks, we have seen members of our community make selections for the first 27 picks, thus putting the Detroit Lions on the clock. If you missed any of the previous sections, you can check all of them out, including…

What’s better than the NFL Draft? How about more NFL Draft? Realistically, the draft is not everyone’s cup of tea. After all, football is won in February, not the late-April draft. Yet for those that dive deep into scouting reports and mock drafts, it adds another level of intrigue to an otherwise long offseason. The…

The Detroit Los Angeles Rams are up in the 2025 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft—where you, the reader, participates in our site-wide mock. The Rams have done a pretty fantastic job rebuilding after going all in for the 2021 Super Bowl. For an “eff them picks” team, they’ve found some fantastic contributors in the…

An offensive weapon like tight end seems like a bit of a luxury when talking about the Detroit Lions’ options in the 2025 NFL Draft, but general manager Brad Holmes has lived by “best player available” for most of his career. And with some interesting roster decisions in the not-so-distant future, I would not take…

Detroit Lions general manager was blunt last week at the NFL owners meetings: the reason the Lions weren’t active during free agency was that they are already earmarking cap space to use for re-signing some of their best players—many of which are due for a huge raise from their rookie contracts.

Our commenters are continuing to shine in our 2025 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft—where we replace NFL general managers with members from our community. We’re getting pretty close to the Detroit Lions’ pick, as the Houston Texans are on the clock with the 25th pick in the mock. The Texans are suddenly relevant in…

It’s the Minnesota Vikings’ turn in the 2025 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft. Last year looked like it was going to be an improbably successful season for the Vikings, especially after losing rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy to a season-ending injury in the preseason. Alas, Sam Darnold fell down to reality in the end of…

With just under two weeks remaining until night one of the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, now feels like a good time to start thinking about initial plans on how, and where to watch. How many people are planning to make the trip west to watch in person? While Green Bay isn’t too…

We’re less than two weeks away from the 2025 NFL Draft and analysts are producing mock drafts at a fever-pitch rate. It can be tough to sort through the wash with so many ideas flooding the market, so it’s worth highlighting mock drafts that make sense for the Detroit Lions.

The 2025 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft has reached the most hated team in the NFL (according to me): the Green Bay Packers. The Packers will host this year’s draft, much to the dismay of… anyone that actually wants to go to the draft. But this is what things have become for the Packers:…

Under general manager Brad Holmes, the Detroit Lions have drafted a wide receiver in three of four years. While the Lions return their top four receivers from last year, the team has not hidden their intentions of adding to the position group this offseason, and they’ll need to in order to simply sport a full…

Folks around these parts know Jim Harbaugh and all the antics surrounding him. In his first year with the Los Angeles Chargers, it was mostly positive shenanigans. Taking over a 5-12 squad, Harbaugh helped Los Angeles jump to 11-6 last year, including a playoff appearance. Still, there is a ton of work to do with…
