There’s never a shortage of good quotes around here. The Detroit Lions may have two of the best talkers in the business in head coach Dan Campbell and GM Brad Holmes. They said a lot during the offseason, but there was a handful of quotes that were really important and should be remembered as we

Following a slightly disappointing start to Jameson Williams’ NFL career after being drafted by the Detroit Lions with the No. 12 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, head coach Dan Campbell hints at Williams’ breakout season this year. Dan Campbell has positive praise of Jameson Williams following strong offseason Since being drafted in the 2022

The Professional Women’s Hockey League held their 2024 draft in Minneapolis on Monday and the Detroit Lions had something to do with it believe it or not. No, they weren’t there physically, but they were there in spirt.  The New York Sound’s fifth-round pick Ell Hartje wore a sweet vintage Lions jacket on stage after being

Undoubtedly, Isaiah Williams has kept Lions fans and media intrigued during the offseason. Following the results from his workouts at the NFL combine (4.63 40-time) Isaiah went undrafted in the 2024 NFL draft. However, after getting scooped up as an undrafted free agent by Detroit, the former Illinois Football star has found ways to impress.

Times have changed. The Detroit Lions are no longer the team that everyone laughs at. They’re now the team that everyone is coming for. They’re the team that other teams want to get revenge on.  There’s probably no team that wants revenge more than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. You can totally see why too. The

The Detroit Lions have gone from being in the wilderness and possibly being longtime laughingstocks to being contenders in the space of just over one calendar year. Last season, they won 12 regular season games, finished first in the NFC North and came within minutes of advancing to the Super Bowl for the first time.

Well, we now know who the Madden 25 cover athlete is. It’s San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. With that out of the way, the next step is to see those Detroit Lions player ratings. Last year they started to come out in mid July. There were some questionable decisions ahead of the season

There’s a bit of sadness to the reason we’re writing this today, but it is what it is. The Detroit Lions waived cornerback Craig James on Tuesday and the reaction from part of the Lions fan base was that they just didn’t know who he was.  It’s understandable because James never played a game for

It’s been 12 years since Calvin Johnson set the NFL record for single-season receiving yards. And while five players have come close to eclipsing his 1,964-yard mark since then, only Cooper Kupp has gotten within real striking distance (1,947 yards). However, the six-time Pro Bowler feels it’s a matter of when, not if his record

The Patriots made two roster moves on Tuesday, claiming LB Steele Chambers off of waivers from the Lions and waiving LB Jay Person. Chambers 23,  began his college career as a running back before switching to linebacker. He was named Third-team All-Big Ten at Ohio State University in 2023 before going undrafted in the 2024

As expected, Jake Bates‘ UFL season has generated NFL interest. A number of teams are in on the recent spring/summer league specialist, whose previous NFL path did not include any game action. The Michigan Panthers kicker has received interest from the Commanders, Lions, Packers and Ravens, according to KPRC2’s Aaron Wilson. All four teams have requested meetings with

Quarterback Jared Goff has signed contract extensions with both the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions as a pro. Goff explained during a recent chat with Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports why his latest deal means more to him than the agreement he inked back in 2019. “This was obviously much harder and had a

Detroit Lions right tackle Penei Sewell is a baller. That’s why in 2023 he was a first team All-NFL and made the Pro Bowl. It’s because he’s the best tackle in football right now. That’s why he’s now the highest paid tackle in football too.  According to Pro Football Focus, Sewell is actually the third

The guy we’re really looking at is Russell Gage. Keep in mind that this is an invitation to camp that we’re talking about. This isn’t a guaranteed starting spot or even a spot on the roster. It’s an opportunity to see what’s there.  Gage has had an interesting last few years. In 2020 and 2021

The Detroit Lions had a breakout campaign in 2023, establishing themselves as a contender. In 2023, the Lions snapped their 32-year drought without a playoff win by making it all the way to the NFC Championship Game. Detroit nearly made it to the Super Bowl as they controlled the NFC Title Game. At halftime, the

Brandon Aiyuk probably wants to avoid playing on his fifth-year option. Although it would earn him $14.124 million in 2024, it is far below his market value. Similarly, the San Francisco 49ers likely want to avoid approaching the $30 million annual salary that might end the wide receiver’s holdout. Last week, Michael Silver of the

Lions Lions HC Dan Campbell said second-year QB Hendon Hooker had one of his best practices of their offseason program and is showing development as a passer.  “I would say yesterday was good to see,” Campbell said, via Tim Twentyman of the team’s site. “There was some improvement yesterday that we had really been looking
