Indianapolis — If we’re to take general manager Brad Holmes at his word, the Detroit Lions aren’t really looking to add a rookie tight end to an already young group.

Between punters and kickers, only a few are drafted each year. Though it may not be the most exciting item to watch, whether
Indianapolis — Among the positions the Detroit Lions struggled to find steady production last season, nickel back flew a bit under the radar. The Lions started the year with veteran and former first-round pick Mike Hughes in the role, but he struggled and was part of the team’s post-bye week lineup shuffle, moving to the
Indianapolis — Do the Detroit Lions truly need a running back in the 2023 NFL draft?

The Detroit Lions general manager recently made some eyebrow-raising comments about Jameson Williams. Could something turbulent be brewing in Motor City?

Indianapolis — This wasn’t the timeline former Michigan receiver and two-time captain Ronnie Bell had envisioned. He was supposed to be in this position at the NFL Combine a year ago, not now.

Indianapolis — With all due respect to Amani Oruwariye’s six-interception season in 2021, it’s been a minute since the Detroit Lions have had a consistent, playmaking cornerback on the roster.
