Pride of Detroit

On Thursday, thousands of Detroit Lions fans will descend upon Campus Martius in downtown Detroit to see the 2024 NFL Draft and who the Lions may select with the 29th overall pick. But given that first-round talent could be gone by the time the Detroit is on the clock, Lions general manager Brad Holmes did…

If you missed it, a now-deleted promotional post at Lions Wire appears to have leaked the new Detroit Lions jerseys ahead of their launch on Thursday night. Obviously, this appears to have been an accidental leak, but at this point, the toothpaste can’t be put back into the tube, and they’re out there.

While the Detroit Lions are set to reveal their new uniforms on Thursday night in an event at Ford Field, it appears the jersey has leaked well before the launch. In a Fanatics promotional post at USA TODAY blog Lions Wire, they revealed several photos of what appears to be the new Lions jerseys.

Back when he got here in 2021, there was a good understanding of what Detroit Lions’ linebacker Alex Anzalone’s role would be with the team—at least early on. Lions’ general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell had just begun with their rebuild, and adding Anzalone made a lot of sense for several reasons.

We’ve moved past the Detroit Lions’ first pick in the Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, and now it’s time to close out the first round with the final three picks. Up first is the Baltimore Ravens, who are represented by commenter MaizeAndBlueWahoo. After a dominant regular season, the Ravens fell just short of the…

Ever since the minutes following their devastating loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has been preaching that the team’s climb back to a Super Bowl run will only get harder from here. His postgame quote about how the Lions may never be back—albeit somewhat misinterpreted—was…

Our 2024 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 28 picks, and thus putting the Detroit Lions on the clock. If you missed any of the previous sections, you can check all of them out,…

Another cornerback is on the board for my draft crushes this draft season. Iowa Hawkeyes cornerback Cooper DeJean is a great fit for the Detroit Lions at pick 29, as he is one of the most versatile players this team could have, more than defensive back Brian Branch. DeJean could help fill a need at…

The Detroit Lions dropped a promotional video on Tuesday giving very quick, partial glimpses at their new uniforms, which are slated to come out this week. You can tell a lot from the limited teases, including new lettering, the return of white jersey/blue pants combos, and what appears to be minor coloring changes.

On Thursday, the Detroit Lions will unveil a whole new set of uniforms for the 2024 season and beyond. Thus far, the Lions have been very hush-hush about the new design, and there haven’t been any true leaks. The only real updates have been via team president Rod Wood, who has offered purposely vague updates…

The Detroit Lions are on deck in our 2024 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, and Erik Schlitt is patiently waiting for his turn on the clock. But before he can make his selection, he is at the mercy of the Buffalo Bills and acting Bills general manager Elite539. The Bills are seemingly stuck in…

While NFL free agency is mostly done and the NFL Draft is a week in the future, the Detroit Lions front office has a third task to accomplish this offseason: offer extensions to players entering the final year of their deal. While not every Lions player seeking an extension will get one before the start…

Peter Schrager, of NFL Network and Fox Sports, is one of the most well-respected insiders in the business and his position in the media affords him the opportunity to regularly speak with NFL coaches and general managers. As such, he typically only releases one mock draft per season, and because it’s sourced with inside information,…

While Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has made some surprise draft picks along the way, the kind of player he has selected in his three years in Detroit has been remarkably consistent. Football character is a non-negotiable for the Lions. According to Holmes it’s the ultimate separator between a good players and a great…

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are up in our 2024 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, where you—the commenters—get to make the picks for each team. The Buccaneers were one of many teams who saw their season end at the hands of the Detroit Lions. And with an NFC South still very much in turmoil, the…

We’re at Pick 25 in our 2024 Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft, and the Green Bay Packers are on the clock for the first time. We’ve already seen the Chicago Bears (Caleb Williams and Malik Nabers) and Minnesota Vikings (J.J. McCarthy and Jaylen Wright) have two selections, making the NFC North an drastically-improving division.

I told you this series wouldn’t just be filled with Michigan Wolverine players. When it comes to the 2024 NFL Draft, the one defensive end that stood out to me is Demeioun “Chop“ Robinson from Penn State. The Detroit Lions saw their defensive line improve in 2023, but there is still a need at the…

For being “America’s Team,” the Dallas Cowboys have been the butt far more jokes than you may think over the past two decades. Perennially a winner during the regular season, the Cowboys have squandered great falls with terrible winters year after year after year. Since the year 1998, the Cowboys are just 4-12 in playoff…

The Minnesota Vikings are up again in the Pride of Detroit Community Mock Draft after selecting Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy with the 11th overall pick. Minnesota acquired the 23rd pick earlier this offseason in a trade with the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick, among other compensation.

While I could list a lot of Michigan Wolverines in this series, this is the last one that makes the cut for me. The Detroit Lions would be an excellent home for Michigan cornerback Mike Sainristil overall. His work ethic and how he is as a person and a player is what the Lions could…
