It’s not just any offseason for the Detroit Lions. This is one of the most important offseason periods in the franchise’s history. While the team will have many of their players entact, the Lions’ coaching staff is going through a total makeover, and it will be interesting to see how it all plays out come September. Unfortunately, the team has been plagued with coaches leaving for other opportunities, notably offensive coordinator Ben Johnson going to the Chicago Bears and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn heading to the New York Jets. Now, the team has lost a key person in their front…
Aidan Hutchinson is back on two feet and running. The Detroit Lions star defensive end shared a video on Instagram of him running at the Lions training facility in Allen Park on Monday. Hutchinson was on pace to make his first All-Pro team with 7½ sacks in the first five games, but missed the rest of the season after he broke his tibia and fibula against the Dallas Cowboys. In the video shared on the “House of Hutch” Instagram page run by the Hutchinson family, a shirtless Hutchinson completed a sprint from the end zone with his signature swinging-arm running…
We are just about three weeks away from a new league calendar, free agency blossoming before our eyes. Any good evaluation of free agency must begin internally—with the pieces you know and trust—before anything else can come on down. The Detroit Lions have a good number of pieces set for the market, and the question sets up: who is worth bringing back? On this episode of the Pride of Detroit PODcast, we break down the biggest decisions the Lions have to make, presumably before the new calendar hits. Some of the topic questions include: How much money would Carlton Davis…

Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes emphasizes that talent alone is not enough to make a great NFL player. In a recent interview with Local 4 News in Detroit, Holmes reiterated that it’s the intangible qualities of a player that truly set them apart. “Talent is easy to identify, it’s easy to find,” Holmes said. “This guy’s big and he’s strong. Okay, I get that, all these other hundreds and thousands are big and strong too. But who has the makeup and drive and determination and competitiveness and passion for the game that we’re looking for?” Holmes stressed that it’s…
Ben Roethlisberger, the retired Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, recently shared his thoughts on the trend of players checking their social media during halftime adjustments. Roethlisberger expressed his disapproval of this practice, stating that it would always drive him “nuts.” Roethlisberger’s comments highlight the potential distraction that social media can pose, especially during critical moments in a game. Halftime adjustments are a crucial time for teams to regroup, reassess, and make strategic decisions. By checking their social media, players may be diverting their attention away from the task at hand. Roethlisberger’s sentiments echo those of many coaches and players who emphasize the…
Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott initially had a humorous reaction to the idea of Aaron Rodgers joining the team, commenting “Leave his (butt) at the retirement home” on an Instagram rumor. However, Elliott has since changed his tune, posting a photo with Rodgers and expressing a more positive sentiment. The Steelers are considering various quarterback options, including Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, Sam Darnold, Jameis Winston, and Daniel Jones. Each of these veterans has their own set of flaws, making them vulnerable to criticism. Rodgers’ potential signing with the Steelers has sparked debate, with some questioning whether he would be…
The Pittsburgh Steelers should definitely prioritize upgrading their wide receiver corps if they decide to bring back Justin Fields, according to Yahoo Sports analyst Matt Harmon. Fields’ performance last year was hindered by a lack of support from his receivers, and Harmon believes that the Steelers need to take multiple swings at the position to improve their chances of success. The Steelers’ current receiver situation is less than ideal, with George Pickens being the only reliable option. Calvin Austin III was the only other receiver to break the 500-yard mark, and even that was just barely. Harmon’s suggestion to take…
The Detroit Lions have received some disappointing news as they head into the offseason. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Lions’ director of scouting advancement, Mike Martin, is leaving the team to take a job as the general manager at Notre Dame. Martin was a key member of the Lions’ front office and played a significant role in helping to rebuild the team’s roster. His departure is a significant loss for the Lions, but the team still has general manager Brad Holmes at the helm. On a more positive note, the Lions have promoted linebackers coach Kelvin Sheppard to defensive…
