Allen Park — This time two years ago, cause for optimism was slim pickings around Allen Park. Heading into the bulk of the 2023 offseason, it’s plentiful.

On defense, it was tackle Michael Brockers and linebacker Alex Anzalone who
The next time Jared Goff wins a football game — especially if it’s a fourth-quarter comeback or if he, heaven forbid, tosses a walk-off touchdown — you can bet the internet will blow up with callbacks to the image the Lions released earlier this week. Goff was at a media shoot, and a couple of

Allen Park — For now, it’s mostly just talk, at least from the outside listening in. But if you ask anyone in attendance at the Lions’ mandatory minicamp this week, they’ll tell you that seeing is believing. Maybe hearing is, too. And with most of the noise on the practice field coming from that revamped
Allen Park — A different kind of football news made its way stateside Wednesday, and it has a handful of Detroit Lions players excited. Global soccer superstar Lionel Messi, fresh off his World Cup victory with Argentina this past winter, has reportedly made the decision to sign for Major League Soccer side Inter Miami CF
It was the second day of minicamp, no pads, with players in “pajamas,” as Dan Campbell likes to say. But Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs gave everyone a glimpse of why he was the 12th pick of April’s draft. On the fourth play of team period Wednesday, Gibbs found himself in a mismatch out
Allen Park — After years of lacking adequate pass-rush production, the Detroit Lions suddenly have a wealth of quality edge rushers. That group is obviously led the No. 2 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Aidan Hutchinson, but the depth is bolstered by the returns of Romeo Okwara and Charles Harris, who led the team
Allen Park — Here are some notes and observations from Wednesday’s mandatory minicamp practice, the second of the three-day offseason event. ▶ At the University of Alabama last season, Jahmyr Gibbs lined up as a receiver nearly 20% of the time.

There are big expectations for the Detroit Lions this season. They are the NFC North favorite. But should they be the pick as the surprise team to challenge the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC?

He’s officially on the inside — and that’s not just a reference to his involvement in the team’s mandatory minicamp sessions and
Dan Campbell made a big statement on Tuesday. No, it wasn’t a silly T-shirt celebrating Brad Holmes and the Droste Effect. It was subtler than that, but a lot more meaningful and it spoke volumes about what the Detroit Lions coach thinks about quarterback Jared Goff compared to where he came from in Los Angeles
Slow starts have bit the Detroit Lions in the butt the past two years, and Dan Campbell is determined not to let that happen again. “That’s something that I’m always thinking about is how do we do this? Is there a different approach? Were we too light? Were we too hard? Do we need to
Lions’ Jared Goff would appreciate it if the media stopped throwing gasoline on quarterback trade rumors. It isn’t happening, not in 2023 anyway. The Detroit Lions have their quarterback room set for the 2023 season: Jared Goff will start under center for the third straight year while 2023 third-rounder Hendon Hooker develops behind him. It’s
Allen Park – Jared Goff is unbothered. Go ahead, ask him how he feels about heightened expectations, or how he feels about a possible contract extension.

He likes Lamar, that’s OK. I’ve
There’s certainly lots of buzz around the Detroit Lions going into the upcoming season. Despite failing to make the playoffs last year, they were the closest they have ever been since 2016.
