Which Lions player or coach should be mic’d up for training camp?
For as long as I have been a fan of the NFL, some of my favorite content outside of the actual games themselves has always been mic’d up segments. You get some of the most raw, hilarious, and sometimes iconic moments ever by having a player or coach mic’d up. In my opinion, that kind […]
Lions News: Jahmyr Gibbs is Vegas favorite for big postseason award
The hype for Jahmyr Gibbs’ 2026 season has almost gotten too much. With Gibbs expected to be the bell-cow back, plus Detroit’s investment in the offensive line, some are predicting a monster year from the fourth-year Detroit Lions running back.

Lions mailbag, training camp edition: Who are the bubble players on OL, DL?
Generally speaking, we have a pretty good idea of what the Detroit Lions’ starting offensive and defensive lines are going to look like for the 2026 season. While there will likely be a few training camp battles to weed out (left guard, EDGE2, and maybe right tackle), the key players have already been identified. However, […]
Lions News: Detroit plummets in ESPN’s under-25 rankings
For years, the Detroit Lions have been hailed as one of the teams with the most young and promising talent. After years of great drafts from general manager Brad Holmes, Detroit not only had blue-chip players, but blue-chip players that would be in Detroit for years and years to come. But is that era coming […]
Why Jared Goff believes Amon-Ra St. Brown is the NFL’s best WR
ESPN just concluded it’s positional ranking series, the NFL is still counting down their top-100 players of the 2026 season, and our roster ranking is near its end.

Lions News: Kelvin Sheppard was the talk of the NFL this offseason
While Detroit Lions defensive coordinator heads into 2026 with plenty to prove, the young coach has apparently already drawn a lot of attention from other team’s coaches and general managers.

Discussion: Who will be the most improved player at Detroit Lions training camp?
One of the most exciting parts of training camp is seeing which players have taken a step since last year. We often talk about Year 2 or Year 3 jumps, but actually seeing it out there on the field is extremely satisfying. That improvement is never guaranteed, but when it happens, it’s validation that the […]

Discussion: How many Detroit Lions rookies will start by the end of 2026?

Discussion: What defines a ‘successful’ 2026 Detroit Lions season?
“Super Bowl or bust.” It’s a phrase that just about every NFL team adopts every season. Anything short of that is considered a failure by most team standards. At least, that’s the line they have to repeat publicly; otherwise, it looks like the team isn’t giving it their all each year. However, that bar isn’t […]
