The Detroit Lions and GM Brad Holmes had a solid offseason. The rebuild of the cornerback room and the addition of DJ Reader is going to have an impact on the Lions defense for sure. But there is one spot where Holmes didn’t make the best decison and right now it’s looking even worse.  That’s

Sometimes when you get to the NFL, teams find out that you’re better suited in a different situation. That looks like it could potentially be the case for Lions’ sixth-round pick Mekhi Wingo.  Going into the 2024 NFL draft, Wingo was expected to go a lot higher than the sixth-round. Part of the problem was
