Amon-Ra St. Brown had the most catches without a drop in 2021 / Amon-Ra St. Brown played his entire rookie season in Detroit without dropping a pass. - Let that sink in for a second… - St. Brown had 119 passes thrown his way in 2021 as a fourth-round pick out of USC. He caught 90 of those, with at least eight catches on at least 10 targets in each of the Lions’ last six games, a period that coincides with new offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and head coach Dan Campbell taking more control over the offense. But St. Brown did not drop a single pass, according to Field Yates of ESPN. - - Most catches in the NFL in 2021 without a drop: - Amon-Ra St. Brown: 90 - 22 more than anyone else. - Huge 2022 coming up for him. pic.twitter.com/p0cpgJF40Z - — Field Yates (@FieldYates) March 30, 2022 - - - Other sources dispute Yates’ claim that St. Brown did not have a drop, which is an unofficial and arbitrary statistic. Pro Football Focus had St. Brown for two, both in the Week 2 loss in Green Bay. Pro Football Reference logged one drop for St. Brown as a rookie. - I went back and rewatched the Week 2 game. It was easy to ascertain which passes PFF credited as drops since St. Brown caught three of his five targets in Green Bay. The first “drop”, right before halftime, did hit St. Brown in his hands along the sideline, but it appears the defensive back made a play on the ball just before St. Brown did. The second, with just over 2:00 to play in the game, was not an accurate pass from Jared Goff. - The Lions as a team did a very good job at not dropping passes. Per NBC Sports, Detroit had 13 total drops in 17 games. Only three teams had fewer drops on the season. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Breaking down the Lions free agent contracts with LBs Chris Board and Jarrad Davis / - - -

Breaking down the Lions free agent contracts with LBs Chris Board and Jarrad Davis / - - - It’s been an offseason of selective signings by the Detroit Lions. To this point, Lions GM Brad Holmes and his staff have brought in just five outside free agents. - Two of those players, Chris Board and Jarrad Davis, play the same position: off-ball linebacker. The contract details of the two new LBs highlight the expectation level the team has for Board and Davis. - Board, formerly of the Ravens, signed a one-year deal for $1.99 million. His base salary is $1.5 million, of which $600,000 is fully guaranteed. There is also a $400,000 bonus and a per-game roster bonus that amortizes to the very odd total cap amount of $1,994,118. It would cost $1 million in dead cap room to cut Board. - Davis returns to Detroit after one year away with the New York Jets. He signed for one year as well at a rate of $1.035 million. None of that salary is guaranteed. Davis does have a roster bonus of $152,500 which raises the total salary cap hit to $1.047 million. - - RelatedJarrad Davis signing is a test for the Lions coaching and offseason strategy - Davis’ deal is essentially the league minimum for a player with five years of experience. There’s zero guaranteed money, which means zero dead cap room if the Lions dump him. It’s a bet-on-yourself tryout for Davis, the league’s lowest-graded linebacker by Pro Football Focus in 2021 (min. 200 snaps). - Board’s deal reflects much more of a commitment from Detroit. His salary is right in line with what the team paid another LB, Alex Anzalone, to return. Board and Anzalone play the same off-ball spot in the Lions’ base defense, the weakside “cover” or “chase” backer. Davis is more of the heavier or strongside backer, a starting position that (for now) belongs to second-year Derrick Barnes. - Based on the contracts, Board will be on the final roster. As of now, he and Anzalone project to compete (with Shaun Dion Hamilton and Josh Woods, both re-signed this offseason) for one starting spot. Board was a special teams standout for the Ravens and figures to be heavily deployed in coverage and return units, too. Keep in mind the base defense will only have two LBs on the field. - When the Lions use three LBs, both Board and Anzalone can play together with Barnes. Davis will need to earn reps backing up Barnes or in specific sub-packages that take advantage of his blitzing ability. He and Anzalone played together at Florida and do have some cross-trained skill-sets. - All contract information is from Over The Cap. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - -

Brad Holmes addresses those critical of the team's approach in free agency / - - - Lions GM Brad Holmes addressed one of the big complaints about his actions in his second offseason. During a session with some local Detroit media at the NFL owners’ meeting in Florida, Holmes responded to the charge that he’s not done enough to improve the team in free agency. - “When I hear that people wanted us to get more external help, it’s just, the grass is not always greener and then you kind of know who the culture fits are and who aren’t,” Holmes told reporters. “But we’re really happy with the guys that we brought back. Again, it’s a testament to our organization about the guys that wanted to come back and the production they had last year.” - The Lions have brought back 15 players from last year’s team, including 11 unrestricted free agents. The names include both reserve QBs, Tim Boyle and David Blough, as well as wide receivers Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond. It’s been a point of contention when the team has available cap room to seek out upgrades in free agency. Thus far, the Lions have added just WR DJ Chark, LB Chris Board, TE Garrett Griffin, CB Mike Hughes and former Lions first-round flop, LB Jarrad Davis. Only Chark and perhaps Board project to start. - Holmes continued, expanding upon the point of why the team values continuity so much. - “I totally understand, from especially our fans’ perspective, that you say, ‘Look man, 3-win team, why are you bringing back the same players?’ But as much work as we put into the production that those players had in our system, and then having that continuity with the coaching staff coming back as well, there’s a lot of optimism for that. And again, it’s still being aggressive. It’s just that it’s not always saying that you’re not being aggressive if you’re not going the external route.” - This comment struck me personally, because I am one of those who has been openly critical of the plan to bring back so many players who were big parts of the team finishing an unacceptable 3-13-1 a year ago. I watched players like Boyle and Alex Anzalone prove they just weren’t good enough when given ample chances. - Why not try someone else who has proven they’re better, albeit in a different organization and system? It’s something I’ve asked repeatedly. I’m glad Holmes addressed it directly. He believes in the coaching staff and the culture. He believes that continuity and cohesion matter more than change for the sake of change. - To be clear, I’m not as frustrated with the lack of free agent imports as I am with the seeming urgency and prominent valuation of eminently replaceable players from a year ago. Was the league really beating down the door to sign Boyle or Raymond or Anzalone (yes, Anzalone did say he had other offers)? The

Mock Draft Watch: Draft Wire's 3-round mock beefs up Lions defense / The NFL offseason has been one full of topsy-turvy moves that may leave you trying to remember where everyone went to. The Detroit Lions were relatively quiet in the free agency market, opting to re-sign most of the players from last season, rewarding them for their hard work. With DJ Chark being the most prominent outside name signed to Detroit, Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell are building their team from the draft. - With the combine wrapped up and pro days continuing, teams are bringing in players they may want to get an up and personal look at with their 30 prospect visits. At this point, teams should have a general idea of what their draft board should look like. - Unlike last year, where you could’ve written the number one overall pick in pen right at the beginning of the season, there is no clear-cut prospect destined as the top selection this year. Instead, with the Jacksonville Jaguars selecting for the second consecutive year, the Lions destiny lays in the hands. From our brother site, Draft Wire, Luke Easterling hands in his latest three-round mock, starts by giving the Jaguars, a hometown favorite in Aidan Hutchinson, leaving the Lions with a complicated situation. - Easterling notes with the plethora of talent available, the Lions might look to trade down, but it takes two to tango. So perhaps a team gets eager and jumps up for a quarterback or one of the top tackles, but in this mock, they stay put and take a player who has surged up draft boards and maybe in the running as the top player selected, Georiga EDGE Travon Walker. - Travon Walker has been a popular choice for the Lions with his strong athletic showing from the combine and superior versatility. He is equally effective anywhere on and off the line. Some may point to his minimal production at Georgia, but he fits perfectly in what the Lions will be looking to accomplish on defense due to his athleticism. - With the Lions’ second first-round selection, Easterling has the Lions grabbing one of the most versatile players in the draft and happens to be in their backyard, safety Daxton Hill. He has shown he line up anywhere in the deep part of the field, in nickel and as a blitzer. Between him and Walker, they could make a strong 1-2 combo that could leave defenses confused on the defensive alignment due to the wide array of assignments he can accomplish. - Heading into the second round, the Lions grab a do-it-all receiver in Jahan Dotson from Penn State. Dotson can line up anywhere, giving the Lions flexibility on their offensive alignments, but with his top speed, crafty route running, and separation, the Lions could use more outside where they sorely lacked a receiver of his caliber last year and should help Jared Goff. - Shifting back to defense, Montana State linebacker Troy

Ford Field to get some updates that could include removing seats / With the news that the Buffalo Bills are going forward with plans to construct a new stadium, the questions about the long-term viability of the home of the Detroit Lions, Ford Field, start getting louder. Ford Field opened in 2002, which might not seem like a long time. But in football stadium years, it’s now among the older venues. - The Chicago Bears are moving out of Soldier Field in the immediate future. Buffalo’s new stadium, when it opens, will push Detroit’s downtown stadium firmly into the older half of the league’s facilities. - When asked about the possibility of replacing an aging Ford Field or continuing to make upgrades and modifications to the existing stadium, Lions team president Rod Wood expressed confidence in Ford Field’s location and adaptability. - “We’ll probably have to do some additional updates along the way,” Wood said. “I think the location is hard to compete with.” - The biggest current issue? Parking, according to Wood. - “Parking is an issue sometimes, with being landlocked (in downtown Detroit). But with what’s going on downtown, we’re in a perfect spot.” - The Lions poured over $100 million into modernizing Ford Field in 2017, including a massive new state-of-the-art scoreboard, better sound system, upgraded club seating level and restaurants inside the stadium. Wood talked about some possible changes to help keep the aging venue feeling fresh and in step with the newer constructions going on around the league. - “There’s some discussion about what’s the right size for seating bowls now,” Wood explained. “A lot of teams are taking seats out … there might be some things to take seats out and create different viewing options. Those are all things that we’re thinking about.” - Wood was asked a follow-up question on the idea of removing seats. - “It could be some of the upper-bowl seats and creating party areas. We did that a little bit with the Miller Lite taproom when we did the (2017) renovation.” - Having an open-area standing room with high-top tables is something several newer stadiums have incorporated with very positive receptions, notably in AT&T Stadium in suburban Dallas and SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. - As for 2022, Wood did hint at some “tweaks” to the concession options and the team store inside Ford Field. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - -

Lions GM Brad Holmes: 'We've had dialogue with a couple of teams' about trading back from No. 2 overall / - - - For a relatively new general manager, Lions GM Brad Holmes has quickly learned how to play the NFL draft smoke game. Holmes, now in his second draft season, revealed that he has discussed trade possibilities involving the No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. - “We’ve had dialogue with a couple of teams,” Holmes told reporters on Tuesday in Florida. “I wouldn’t say it’s been a lot, but it has been a couple teams we’ve had some dialogue with.” - It’s smart of Holmes to put that out there — whether it’s factual or not. Stoking any possible trade fires is good business for the Lions, who might not be in love with any of the options at No. 2 any more than they are at, say, No. 5 or No. 10. Extracting maximum value for the pick is Holmes’ job, and he understands that it’s a marketable commodity. - He’s even let it be known the Lions are willing to deal without even knowing who the Jaguars select with the No. 1 pick. - “Definitely we could pull that trade off, if the other team is willing, before the draft,” Holmes added. - It might not amount to anything. Most preliminary draft deal discussions never advance beyond the kindling stages. However, trying to ignite interest in the pick is part of what Holmes needs to do. With no clear-cut choice at No. 2, there’s almost certainly some validity to Detroit’s willingness to part with the premium spot for more irons in the draft fire a little later on. - Give Holmes credit: he’s been consistent in his approach. Here’s what he said about the idea of trading out of No. 2 at the Senior Bowl in Mobile in February, - “I’m always open for whatever. We’re still in the early stages of it, we’ve got a good feel of the class, we’re at a much better place at this stage of the process than last year. But, still, we’ve got a lot more work to do. But, I’m never scared to move around, so we’re definitely open for business, always.” - Whether another team finds Holmes’ smoke intoxicating enough is largely out of the Lions’ control, but at least they’re making every effort to keep the fire burning bright. - - List - - Projecting the Lions current 53-man roster - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in

Lions check out draft sleeper RB, DBs at South Dakota State pro day / Pierre Strong put his name on

Lions check out draft sleeper RB, DBs at South Dakota State pro day / Pierre Strong put his name on the NFL draft map back at the scouting combine. The South Dakota State running back was the fastest RB in Indianapolis with a 4.37 40-yard dash. - Strong and his Jackrabbit teammates had their pro day last week, and the Detroit Lions were among the 20-something NFL teams in attendance in Brookings, South Dakota. - Strong is the headliner for the FCS program, but he’s not the only SDSU prospect who the Lions could have some interest in drafting or signing as a priority free agent. Safety Michael Griffin definitely grabbed attention with his workout. From Matt Zimmer of the Sioux Falls Argus Leader, - The 6-foot, 215-pound safety provided the first true ‘wow’ moment of the morning with a vertical leap that was so high it exceeded the limits of the measuring tool. When they extended the marker so Griffin could jump again, he reached a whopping 43.5 inches, drawing hoots and hollers from the players and coaches in attendance. His leap would have been the top jump at this year’s NFL Combine and among the top 10 in Combine history. - Later, Griffin ran a sub-4.5 40-yard dash (no official times were posted, every scout had their own stopwatch), and also impressed in the other skills. - Griffin doesn’t get projected as a draft pick often, but those athletic marks merit deeper attention.

Strong endorsement from ESPN on the Lions drafting QB Malik Willis / Call this the week of Malik Willis. The Liberty quarterback held his pro day this week and shone under the spotlight. Now the light shines favorably on Willis as a potential top-5 overall pick in April’s 2022 NFL draft. - At least one prominent draft analyst is strongly advocating for the Detroit Lions to select Willis with the No. 2 overall pick. Matt Miller of ESPN is clearly a fan of the idea in his latest mini-mock draft, where he projected the first 10 picks. - Miller offered this commentary in projecting the Lions to select Willis at No. 2 overall, - Maybe I’m buying into the pro day hype, but Willis has looked amazing throughout the pre-draft process. Detroit won’t find a player with his upside or traits with its second first-round pick (No. 32). If the Lions are going in on a quarterback this draft, it should be Willis. - Miller likened the rising hype for Willis to the Josh Allen experience back in the 2018 draft cycle. - After a very strong pre-draft process, Willis should be shooting up boards. Some might ask how a player can improve so much without playing in a game, and for Willis it’s much like how Josh Allen’s stock rose in 2018 despite his season being over at Wyoming. Both Willis and Allen showed improvement throughout the process. From the first day of Senior Bowl practices through the game, their accuracy and mechanics got better with guidance from NFL staffs and private coaching. - It should be noted that Allen started with a higher draft floor than Willis carried into the draft season. Allen was almost always regarded as a top-10 pick throughout the draft process. Willis had fallen into the second round of most projections after an uneven 2021 season for Liberty. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Jarrad Davis signing is a test for the Lions coaching and offseason strategy / Jarrad Davis is back in Detroit,

Jarrad Davis signing is a test for the Lions coaching and offseason strategy / Jarrad Davis is back in Detroit, signing a one-year deal to return to the Lions barely a year after the former first-round linebacker left by popular demand. Bringing Davis back is quite a statement by Lions GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell. - What exactly that statement says depends on how it plays out for Davis, the new-look rebuilding defense and the upcoming draft. - Davis was the team’s first-round pick back in 2017. To say he never lived up to expectations is charitable. - Davis was not a good player in his first stint in Detroit. The mere act of trying to prop up Davis’ occasional blitzing success or decent open-field tackling back in the 2018-2020 seasons would draw instant and vociferous ridicule from most every corner of the fan base. I know, because I lived through that. Fans hated Jarrad Davis and everything he represented about the Lions. Anything remotely positive we said or wrote about Davis brought some truly nasty scorn and deep-rooted enmity. The comment sections were more brutal than the sports radio callers who demanded retribution for former GM Bob Quinn’s big draft miss. - And now he’s back… - The initial reception has been mixed. Many are outraged, remembering the Davis they couldn’t wait to get rid of for years. Some are encouraged by the possible redemption arc of a person who was generally well-liked personally by fans even if they loathed his on-field performance. - Davis acknowledged as much in his press conference on Friday afternoon. Always a perceptive and intelligent guy, Davis stated the obvious about his first Lions stint. - “Every time (with Detroit) wasn’t always a good time,” Davis said before praising the fans, Ford Field, the city and even the Michigan weather. - Making the vitriolic fans forget those bad times will be quite a task for Davis. He didn’t help his cause with his one-year sojourn to the New York Jets in 2021. Davis missed the first seven weeks with an ankle injury. When he came back, he quickly played his way out of prominent reps and into limited duty in Robert Saleh’s Jets defense that seemed perfectly suited to his particular set of skills. His 28.6 overall Pro Football Focus score (on 209 snaps) was the worst of his career. - Davis was, quite literally with his PFF grade, the worst linebacker in the league who played at least 200 snaps. It turns out there was a bottom even lower than his unsavory final three years in Detroit under now-deposed coach Matt Patricia. - Now he’s poised to try and redeem himself. Davis has one year with Campbell to follow the path blazed a year ago by Charles Harris, another former first-round flop who rebuilt his reputation and career with an impressive 2021 in Detroit. Campbell and his staff worked beautifully with Harris, playing to his strengths and rebuilding his confidence.

Pro day watch: Lions send defensive assistant to check out Penn State's workout / Thursday was another busy day on the pro day workout circuit, with several prominent colleges hosting NFL teams to check out their potential prospects. One of the big ones was in State College for the Penn State Nittany Lions. - Detroit dispatched defensive assistant Brian Duker to the workout, and he had a lot to investigate. Chief among them is safety Jaquan Brisker, a definite candidate for the team’s selections at No. 32 or No. 34 overall. Brisker did not disappoint in his workout, hitting a 38.5-inch vertical jump and a 124-inch broad jump at just over 6-foot-1 and 206 pounds. We’ve projected Brisker to the Lions a few times in prior mock drafts and the fit makes all the sense in the world for a hard-hitting, playmaking safety. - EDGE Arnold Ebiketie is a transfer from Temple who thrived in his one year in Happy Valley. He had 18 TFLs and also blocked two kicks. The Lions staff knows him well, coaching against him during Senior Bowl week. Ebiketie is generally projected in the 50-75 overall range. - The Lions don’t need a punter, but the Nittany Lions have a fantastic one in Jordan Stout. Linebacker Brandon Smith is another name to know from defense. Detroit met with both in Indianapolis at the NFL scouting combine last month. - On offense, wideout Jahan Dotson gets projected in the 25-35 overall range often, where the Lions happen to have two picks and a need for a playmaking slot receiver. Dotson might be best-in-class at changing speeds to create separation and he’s also a top-shelf return specialist prospect. - For the full list of participants, check out Nittany Lions Wire. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Mike Hughes: What the Lions are getting in their new CB / - - - When the Detroit Lions signed free agent cornerback Mike Hughes, they added a versatile and young new member to the secondary. Signed for one year and up to $3.5 million (contract details are not immediately available), Hughes comes to Detroit after one season in Kansas City. - What are the Lions getting in Hughes? - He’s something of a familiar face and name for Lions fans. Hughes was a first-round pick (No. 30 overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in the 2018 NFL draft. - It didn’t go well for Hughes in Minnesota. After earning the slot CB role under defensive-minded head coach Mike Zimmer — notorious for not handing jobs to rookies — Hughes suffered a nasty knee injury in Week 6 while returning a kickoff. The recovery process did not go as swiftly as hoped and impacted his speed. - The Hughes who played in the slot in 2019 and 2020 in Minnesota looked a step slower and less explosive in breaking on the ball than the early rookie or the standout at Central Florida in college. Another serious injury derailed 2020 after just four games, this time a broken bone in his neck. - Now he was damaged goods. Never the fastest CB to begin with (a 4.53 40-yard dash at the 2018 combine), Hughes couldn’t get back his top gear and had a neck injury to worry about as well. His coverage in short-range situations remained pretty good, but the downfield routes and chasing receivers on drags and posts proved troublesome. Hughes was never a solid, sturdy tackler either. - Minnesota gave up on Hughes, trading him to Kansas City for a 6th-round pick swap and a 2022 seventh-round pick. It proved to be a worthwhile trade for the Chiefs. - Hughes was healthy in 2021 and the Chiefs had a better vision of how to use him. Instead of flipping him between the slot and playing outside like the Vikings did near the end of his time there, Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo kept him almost exclusively outside in their blitz-heavy base 4-2-5 defense. - Hughes lacks ideal size on the outside, but he doesn’t mind being physical. He’s solid with his jam in man coverage and has quick enough feet to handle sharp-breaking routes. The Chiefs played a lot of 4-1-6 (dime) and he stayed outside in a defense designed to funnel to the middle of the field. - Two things stood out in watching Hughes in 2021: his tackling was better and his aggression at attacking the ball looked like the prospect at UCF instead of the guy the Vikings bailed on. He still needs help with the faster wideouts (see the Buffalo and Cincinnati games) and his long speed is never going to be an asset. He’s also shown struggles with quick-footed receivers in off-man coverage. Hughes is at his best when he can help control the

Garrett Griffin: What the Lions are getting in their new TE / It’s been a selective offseason in free agency

Garrett Griffin: What the Lions are getting in their new TE / It’s been a selective offseason in free agency for the Detroit Lions. One of the two (so far) outside free agents signed by GM Brad Holmes is tight end Garrett Griffin, formerly of the New Orleans Saints. - The Lions signed Griffin to compete to be the primary blocking tight end. That’s been his primary role in his first five NFL years, all spent with the Saints. - What are the Lions getting in Griffin? - Griffin has played in 20 games since joining the Saints as an undrafted free agent from Air Force back in the 2017 season. He’s coming off his most extensive usage in the 2021 campaign, where he played 235 offensive snaps and started six games. - Griffin was used by the Saints almost exclusively as an inline blocking tight end. He does have decent hands, however; the 28-year-old caught all four passes thrown his way, netting 39 yards. All were of the dump-off and short-range variety. - Guys with that meager of production don’t last in the NFL for five years unless they can block. That’s where Griffin earns his money and why he held appeal for Detroit. He’s an adept lead blocker in the run game, good at engaging targets at the second level and creating a seal for the RB to read. - In my limited film study (4 games from 2021), I liked Griffin as a run blocker. He’s smart and quick, and he sustains the block well after initial contact. Griffin isn’t nearly as good as a pass protector, unfortunately. He overcommits on the first move and doesn’t have the athleticism to recover if he doesn’t win right away. - He does have some special teams experience and can also work out of the backfield as an H-back type of tight end. His route running consists of nothing more than safety valve work. - It’s a low-cost signing for Detroit that adds competition to a tight end room that is wide open outside of Pro Bowler T.J. Hockenson. Signing Griffin doesn’t eliminate any potential for the Lions to select a tight end in the later portion of the 2022 NFL draft. He figures to compete with Jared Pinkney, Brock Wright, Shane Zylstra and Matt Sokol for depth at TE. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! -

Poll: Should the Lions have interest in trading for Baker Mayfield? / Friday was a busy day in the NFL. Among many other developments, the Cleveland Browns agreed to trade for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. It’s a massive trade that sends five draft picks to Houston and will see the Browns give Watson $230 million in a fully guaranteed contract. - That leaves the Browns with a Baker Mayfield problem. Mayfield, the team’s starter for the last four seasons, is still on the team. For now… - The Browns are efforting to trade Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. The Lions have a (potential) long-term need at quarterback. It’s a discussion worth having. - Should the Lions attempt to trade for Baker Mayfield? - Note: This is strictly hypothetical. It is extremely unlikely the Lions even pick up the phone to inquire about Mayfield. - - - - Take Our Poll - - Pros for Mayfield - - Accurate passer (when healthy) - Able to create with both his arm and legs when plays break down - Kneecap-biting attitude and feisty leadership - Proven winner, broke the Browns’ 26-year playoff victory drought in 2020 - What figures to be a low asking price in a trade - Not afraid to challenge defenses down the field - - Cons against Mayfield - - Currently recovering from major (non-throwing) shoulder surgery - Personality can grate on teammates and coaches - Under contract for just 2022, will be a free agent or require a contract extension right away - Inconsistent play throughout his four NFL seasons - Often chooses the higher risk/reward target than taking the surer option - - Let your voice be heard!

DJ Chark: 'I appreciated the hustle, the grit' in the Lions 2021 season / - - - The newest Lions wide receiver, DJ Chark admitted on Thursday that he chose Detroit over other suitors who offered more long-term commitment. Yeah, you read that right: Chark consciously chose to take less to come to Detroit. - Why would Chark do such a thing? - His experience in Jacksonville last season and the way the Lions progressed through a similar rough 2021 made an indelible impression upon the 25-year-old wideout. - The Jaguars earned the No. 1 spot in the 2022 NFL draft. The Lions followed right behind. But the paths to the bottom of the NFL standings were completely divergent, and Chark appreciates the contrast between the dysfunction of Urban Meyer and ownership in Jacksonville and the view at what the Lions are building in Detroit out of the soggy ashes of the QuinnTricia era. - “The games looked completely different,” Chark explained. “I appreciated the hustle, the grit, and the way that they persevered, and went from tying games to winning games, and playing better. I truly appreciate the way this staff kept that team together and have faith in those guys. I know that means a lot to them and I’m ready to be a part of it. I feel like it’s definitely a different feel than what I’ve been experiencing.” - Chark didn’t look back in anger at Jacksonville, where he spent his first four seasons. But he’s definitely looking forward to playing for head coach Dan Campbell and the Lions. - “I want to be around good people. These are good people,” Chark said of the Lions crew. “It feels good to be wanted, I want to be where I’m wanted more than anything at the end of the day. Hats off to Jacksonville. My time there, everybody that I’ve met there and came across, I wish the best for them. But it’s no longer about Jacksonville.

Mock draft watch: Lions double-dip on defense in PFF's latest 1st round projection / - - - Even in the middle of the free agent signing frenzy, the mock drafts just keep coming. The latest one from Pro Football Focus sees the Detroit Lions attack the defense with a double-dip in the middle of the field. - PFF analyst Trevor Sikkema released his latest projections and they begin with Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson as the top pick to Jacksonville. That eliminates Hutchinson from consideration for Detroit at No. 2 overall. - So where does Detroit go? In this instance, it’s Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton. It’s not an easy or sure decision, as the commentary notes, - With Hutchinson off the board, there is no obvious pick for the Lions. Months ago, it would have been Kayvon Thibodeaux, but I just don’t think the league is as high on him as the media. Hamilton’s combine performance wasn’t “out of this world,” but it certainly shouldn’t hurt one of the most versatile players in the class, who has received unanimous praise from league sources. - With the Lions not addressing safety without any outside help in free agency, it’s a projection that makes sense. - At No. 32 overall, the defensive reinforcements keep coming. Georgia LB Nakobe Dean brings a lot of hype and hope to the middle of the Lions defense. - Dean is undersized but showed consistent playmaking ability and instincts for the Bulldogs. As Sikkema notes, the Lions still need an infusion of talent at off-ball LB, - The Lions re-signed Alex Anzalone and Shaun Dion-Hamilton, but linebacker should still be something they’ll consider, especially if a player like Dean is still on the board. As the centerpiece of that historic Georgia defense, Dean feels like the kind of player this Lions staff will love. - Other projections of note in this mock: - - Oregon EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux at No. 9 overall - Alabama WR Jameson Williams at 13 - Liberty QB Malik Willis at 20 as the first and only QB off the board - - - List - - NFL Wire Network mock draft: QB moves shake up projections - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top

The wide receiver free agent market is quickly drying up for the Lions / The Detroit Lions still need a

The wide receiver free agent market is quickly drying up for the Lions / The Detroit Lions still need a lot of help at wide receiver, even after re-signing Josh Reynolds prior to free agency. Alas, the market for premium wideouts is quickly drying up before free agency begins. - Franchise tags took care of a couple of candidates. Green Bay used the tag on Davante Adams and the Buccaneers did the same with Chris Godwin. The Los Angeles Chargers locked up Mike Williams for three years and $60 million instead of the big veteran hitting the market, too. - On Saturday, another top-shelf target got poured down the drain when the Cowboys traded Amari Cooper to the Cleveland Browns. The Browns are absorbing the final three years of Cooper’s 5-year, $100 million contract, the same basic market value that Williams will draw from the Chargers. - One of the reasons Cooper is now heading to Cleveland is because the Cowboys moved him so they could lock up free agent WR Michael Gallup and perhaps Cedrick Wilson as well. That’s at least one more name off the list of potential Lions targets, though the Cowboys have not done anything official with either pending free agent wideout. - A lower-level potential target, Arizona’s Christian Kirk, is being talked about as a $15 million-per-year candidate by reputable sources. Kirk had 77 receptions for 982 yards in 2021, both career-highs. That’s a very high price tag for a player who hasn’t ever been a top target. - So who’s left in the shrinking free agency pool at WR? The top names are Allen Robinson, D.J. Chark, Juju Smith-Schuster and Odell Beckham Jr., who almost certainly won’t be ready for the start of the season after tearing knee ligaments in the Super Bowl. All of the bigger names (throw Will Fuller and Antonio Brown in there too) have some very real potential drawbacks; Smith-Schuster played just five games in 2021, Chark was healthy for only four, while Robinson caught a mere 38 passes in 11 games. - There is another tier of receivers where Detroit’s Reynolds would have slotted in, a group that includes Byron Pringle (Chiefs), Russell Gage (Falcons), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Packers), Keelan Cole (Jaguars) and Braxton Berrios (Jets). That might be where the Lions are forced to do their free-agency shopping at wideout with the demand far outweighing the supply for the top names. - - RelatedThe NFL's QB trading frenzy and how it impacts the Detroit Lions - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured

Mock draft watch: A new face for the Lions at No. 2 in Draft Wire's latest 3-round mock / It happens every year. The post-combine mock drafts present some new names in higher places than expected as a result of the annual workout and interview extravaganza in Indianapolis. This year is no exception, and one of the big perceived risers in the 2022 NFL draft winds up projected to the Detroit Lions at No. 2 overall in the process. - The incredible performance from Georgia defensive end Travon Walker vaulted him into the No. 2 spot in the latest mock draft from Draft Wire and editor Luke Easterling. He rose up from 19th in the previous edition, which was released before the combine. - Here’s what Easterling had to say about Walker’s meteoric rise, - If you love gaudy college production, you might not be a fan of this pick, but NFL teams make these selections based on traits and future projections rather than box scores. To that end, Walker has rare athleticism for his size, which he put on display at the combine, and brings tons of versatility. - It’s worth noting this mock still has the Jaguars addressing offensive tackle with the No. 1 pick even though they used the franchise tag on OT Cam Robinson. - - RelatedNFL teams need to learn from Lions’ success with Penei Sewell - With the No. 32 pick, the projection turns to quarterback and Ole Miss’ Matt Corral. While noting, “I don’t think the Lions are going into this draft planning to take a quarterback, but if one happens to fall to them here, they might change their minds,” the commentary supports the idea of using the pick to obtain a fifth-year option on Jared Goff’s potential successor at QB. - The second-round pick addresses wide receiver with another big-time combine riser, North Dakota State wideout Christian Watson. Detroit addresses safety at No. 66 overall in the third round with Illinois’ Kerby Joseph. This mock does not include projected compensatory picks. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

NFL teams need to learn from Lions’ success with Penei Sewell / A first-round draft selection by the Detroit Lions

NFL teams need to learn from Lions’ success with Penei Sewell / A first-round draft selection by the Detroit Lions in 2021 could make an impact on the way the 2022 NFL draft will play out. - The Detroit Lions, in need of offensive line depth, selected tackle Penei Sewell with the seventh overall pick in 2021. Sewell was regarded as the top offensive lineman in the draft class and the Lions were fortunate enough to have them fall right into their laps. - The Lions had a complex situation on the offensive line heading into the 2021 season. They had just selected a four-year starter at left tackle but 2016 first-round pick Taylor Decker was already slated to be their starting left tackle. - So instead of moving a proven veteran to a new position, they opted to develop a talented rookie on the right side of the line. Sewell had never played right tackle and would have to learn a whole new position while adapting to the difficulty level of the NFL. - Many fans and people in the media were perplexed by this decision. Sewell was a potential generational talent at left tackle and Detroit’s new coaching staff under Dan Campbell were just going to change his position? - Yes. And it worked. - What many people don’t comprehend is that Sewell and other draft prospects like him are talented athletes who are able to learn and adapt under the skilled coaches in the NFL. No player in the league is perfectly molded into playing just one position. Even then, all Sewell did was move from one side of the offensive line to another – it’s not like he was asked to play an entirely new position. - Sewell went on to start eight games at left tackle while Decker dealt with an injury and finished the season on the right side of the line. What’s most impressive is that he improved when he shifted over to the right side. Sewell earned a 77.0 PFF grade while allowing just five sacks all season. Up against some of the top defenders in the NFL such as Aaron Donald and Khalil Mack, Sewell was able to go toe-to-toe with them and not let them win. - Sewell earned plenty of honors for his debut season, including being named to Pro Football Focus and Pro Football Writers of America’s all-rookie teams. He was also featured on PFF’s top-101 players of 2021 list, ranking at number 66. - - Penei Sewell two blocks in one play pic.twitter.com/nhbwLfr5n5 - — PFF (@PFF) November 25, 2021 - - - Now how does this impact what teams might do in the 2022 Draft? - With the first-overall pick, the Jacksonville Jaguars have several talented options to choose from. Many had mocked Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal to the Jaguars for most of the offseason, but the team went on to franchise tag left tackle Cam Robinson and the mock drafts began

NFL GM: Lions DC Aaron Glenn 'will be a head coach in our league' / - - - It’s no secret that Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn is one of the NFL’s hottest names for future head coaching candidates. Glenn interviewed for two positions this offseason but did not land the jobs in New Orleans or Denver. - It will not be long before an NFL team says “you’re hired” to Glenn and turns over control of the team to the 49-year-old former player. We got even more reinforcing evidence of that during the 2022 NFL scouting combine, thanks to NBC Sports’ Peter King. - Here’s what King reported in his scouting combine wrap-up on Football Morning In America, - When I asked around about Black coach candidates to a few NFL GMs, I heard only one name out of three mouths: Detroit defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. A Bill Parcells disciple, Glenn, 49, is a former 15-year NFL corner with 41 career interceptions. He’s a steely, bright guy who players (I’m told) love playing for. - Glenn interviewed for the Saints’ head-coaching job, and GM Mickey Loomis told me he had a great one. The problem there was Dennis Allen, who’d been on the New Orleans staff since 2015 and has choreographed one of the best defenses in the league. Someone was going to overwhelm the Saints to knock out Allen. Glenn came close. - “Aaron will be a head coach in our league,” Loomis told me. - Glenn’s work in developing young talent in his first season in Detroit and cobbling together a defense that improved despite a series of devastating injuries definitely impressed the league. Lions fans need to appreciate Glenn while he’s still in Detroit. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

The NFL's QB trading frenzy and how it impacts the Detroit Lions / - - - Just when

The NFL's QB trading frenzy and how it impacts the Detroit Lions / - - - Just when NFL reporters thought it was safe to take a little rest, the league broke into a quarterback trading frenzy. The week between the NFL scouting combine and the start of free agency is dominated by big-time quarterback transactions. - Seattle traded away Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos for a cadre of draft picks and legit starting veterans. Then the Colts followed suit by dealing Carson Wentz to Washington for two third-round picks and a swap of second-rounders. It has reshaped the QB landscape of the NFC, a conference where the Lions are trying to climb up with Jared Goff — acquired from the Rams in a trade that kickstarted the QB movement a year ago when Los Angeles made the thirsty trade for Matthew Stafford. - The Rams proved that swinging for the QB fences in a trade can work, and now other teams are trying to follow suit. - Tuesday’s trade that shipped Wilson out of the NFC and signaled the start of a rebuild in Seattle should be seen as good news for the Lions. Wilson tormented the Lions, notably in a postseason game in 2016. The Seahawks are now chock full of draft capital and could quickly assemble a new-look playoff team, but for now, the removal of Wilson is addition-by-subtraction for the Lions and the rest of the NFC. - Interpreting Wednesday’s move by Washington is a little more difficult. Wentz fizzled badly in Indianapolis in his first season following the Colts trading a first-round pick to Philadelphia to acquire him. Whatever the opposite of “clutch” is in football terms, that’s the picture next to Wentz in the dictionary after he choked away a playoff berth in an unforgivable (by Colts standards) loss to the worst team in the league, the Jaguars, in Week 18. - (The jury is still out in Philadelphia on Wentz’s replacement, Jalen Hurts) - The Commanders are hoping Wentz can get back to being healthy and effective, as he largely was in 2017-2019 for the Eagles. In the last two years, he’s consistently been one of the NFL’s worst veteran starters. It’s a gutsy move borne of desperation in Washington, which won the NFC East in 2020 but cratered with Taylor Heinicke in place of an injured Ryan Fitzpatrick at the controls. It’s worth pointing out that Heinicke posted very similar numbers to Wentz in 2021. Good Carson Wentz makes Washington better, but there’s no guarantee Wentz will ever be good again. - Washington’s move also appears to reflect the pervasive theme that the NFL just isn’t in love with any of the quarterbacks in the 2022 NFL draft. Picking at No. 11, the Commanders figure to have their choice of nearly anyone they want. They chose instead to pay Carson Wentz over $25 million and give up two third-round picks. That’s a very loud indictment of how the NFL

Tight end franchise tags elevate T.J. Hockenson's market value / - - - Even though T.J. Hockenson didn’t do anything, his future market value for his next contract just got a lot richer. When the Cleveland Browns used the franchise tag on tight end David Njoku and the Miami Dolphins did the same with Mike Gesicki and the Cowboys followed suit with Dalton Schultz, it raised the roof for what Hockenson will get on his next contract. - The Lions don’t have to worry about that next contract for Hockenson for at least one more year, of course. Hockenson still has one more season on his rookie deal, plus a club option for the fifth year that is almost certain to be exercised soon. - However, the trio of tags means three more tight ends are going to earn over $10 million in 2022. Gesicki, Njoku and Schultz will all earn the same franchise tag figure of $10.931 million for one season. It’s a figure based on the average of the top salaries at the position. - In 12 games in 2021, Hockenson posted numbers that shoehorn him into the same class of player - - - - - Catches - Yards - TDs - PFF Run block - - - Hockenson - 61 - 583 - 4 - 45.1 - - - Gesicki - 73 - 780 - 2 - 46.1 - - - Njoku - 36 - 475 - 4 - 64.1 - - - Schultz - 78 - 808 - 8 - 69.4 - - - - This is not the top tier of tight ends. Schultz’s numbers in Dallas are more in the ballpark with George Kittle, Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews, but Hockenson’s status in this tier of talent is pretty secure already — and with upward mobility. If he puts together an injury-free season that builds up above five catches and 55 yards per game and improves his blocking, Hockenson handily cements himself at or even above the trio of tagged TEs into 2023. - When Hockenson does get to working on his next contract, the $10.9 million value for the franchise tag TEs this year figures to be the floor for negotiations. That’s going to make for an interesting decision for the Lions under Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell, a regime that did not draft him into Detroit. It’s still at least one offseason away, but the Lions organization has to immediately factor in the long-term budget for a premium tight end contract if they know they want to keep Hockenson beyond 2023. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article?

Lions mock draft watch: Breaking down The Athletic's post-combine mock / One of the most popular and respected NFL draft

Lions mock draft watch: Breaking down The Athletic's post-combine mock / One of the most popular and respected NFL draft analysts, Dane Brugler from The Athletic, has released his post-combine projections for the 2022 NFL draft. It’s an intriguing inside look at what the Detroit Lions might do come April. - This projection goes two rounds, and it starts off with a bang. The No. 1 overall player off the board to the Jacksonville Jaguars is North Carolina State OT Ikem Ekwonu, not Alabama’s Evan Neal or Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson. That leaves Hutchinson for the Lions and it makes for an easy projection, - Hutchinson didn’t do anything at the combine to hurt his draft standing as one of the best players in the class. While his 40-yard dash time was average, he led all front-seven defenders with a 6.73 three-cone and 4.15 short shuttle, which are both extraordinary numbers. To put those times in perspective, Von Miller posted a 6.70 three-cone, and Khalil Mack had a 4.18 short shuttle. - The Lions use the pick acquired from the Rams at No. 32 overall to secure a quarterback. But it’s not the typical QB projection of Malik Willis or Matt Corral or Sam Howell. This time it’s Desmond Ridder from Cincinnati. Brugler reiterates, - “The Lions have been doing their homework on several quarterbacks in this class, including a formal meeting with Ridder at the combine.” - At No. 34, the projection shifts back to defense and Michigan safety Daxton Hill. Given the available players and the dire need for safety help, it’s a perfectly logical pick. - Some interesting notes and observations on this mock… - - The first QB is Kenny Pickett at No. 11 - Kyle Hamilton falls to No. 8 - Kayvon Thibodeaux falls to No. 9 - Lewis Cine rises to No. 30 - Christian Watson is No. 62 off the board - - - List - - Lions full mock draft v5.0: Post-combine edition - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Lions will be 'major players' in the free agent WR market but not the only one / Free agency is

Lions will be 'major players' in the free agent WR market but not the only one / Free agency is quickly coming upon the world of the NFL. The annual scouting combine often provides a lot of insight into what teams are looking to do in free agency, and Lions beat writer Dave Birkett from the Detroit Free Press offered some keen reporting on the upcoming period. - It’s not a surprising development based on recent comments from WR coach Antwaan Randle El at the Senior Bowl or offensive coordinator Ben Johnson at the combine, but the Lions are expected to be “major players” in the wide receiver market according to Birkett. - The agent for one of the top pending free agent receivers said the Lions indicated in a meeting last week they value his receiver in the same financial ballpark he expects his player to fetch in free agency, and multiple other sources view the Lions as legitimate contenders to sign one of the position’s premier free agents. - The Lions will not be the only team shopping in the wide receiver market in free agency. The Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins are also teams often linked and reported to the veteran free agent market. Other teams looking for wide receiver help and with some cap room to spend include the Commanders, Jets, Chargers and Patriots. - Detroit currently has the 12th-most salary cap room available at just over $26.5 million, per Over The Cap. - The full available list of free agents could shrink, too. There is a lot of speculation the Buccaneers will use the franchise tag on Chris Godwin, and the same is true of the Chargers and Mike Williams. Those are two of the biggest attractions about to hit the marketplace. Green Bay’s Davante Adams appears to be going nowhere, too. Chicago could use the franchise tag on Allen Robinson, though that does not appear to be in the Bears’ plans. - Then there’s the trade market, which includes some potential names like Amari Cooper and Andy Isabella. One to cross off from that list is Atlanta’s Calvin Ridley, who was suspended by the NFL for at least a full year for gambling. - A few names to know that could interest the Lions: - - Juju Smith-Schuster - Christian Kirk - Albert Wilson - Byron Pringle - Rashard Higgins - Adam Humphries - James Washington - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address.

King: Aidan Hutchinson 'odds-on favorite' to be the No. 1 pick / - - - The No. 2

King: Aidan Hutchinson 'odds-on favorite' to be the No. 1 pick / - - - The No. 2 pick in the 2022 NFL draft belongs to the Detroit Lions, and there seems very little inclination by the Lions to try and trade up for the No. 1 pick. That means that the Jacksonville Jaguars control the player availability at No. 2 by what they do with the No. 1 pick. - In his NFL scouting combine wrap-up for FMIA, NBC Sports’ Peter King opined that he believes Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson will be the Jaguars’ choice for the top spot. In a subheading titled, “Aidan Hutchinson exits Indy as the odds-on favorite to be the top pick”, King notes, - I don’t believe Jags GM Trent Baalke and coach Doug Pederson will be unduly swayed by combine tests. But the tape says a lot about Hutchinson’s raw power and instincts and drive. His college production (30.5 tackles-for-loss plus sacks last season) has made some scouts compare him to former NFL edge player Jared Allen, who put up 136 sacks in 12 NFL season. Their on-field zeal is certainly comparable. - Invoking Jared Allen, a 4-time All-Pro who posted a peak of 89.5 sacks in six seasons in his prime, is a very fitting note for Hutchinson. Allen was a 6-foot-6, 270-pound power-to-speed player with outstanding agility and a relentless motor. All those qualities are often mentioned with Hutchinson as well. But Allen also had short arms for his height and for the position and made it work, something Hutchinson will have to do at the NFL level, too. - Hutchinson’s lack of arm length became a big topic of combine week. At 6-foot-7, his arm length of 32 1/8″ is quite small. Allen measured in at just 32 inches at 6-foot-6 back at the combine in 2004. Hutchinson topped Allen’s workout numbers in every metric, too. - What that means for the Lions - While some other names, notably Oregon EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux, get projected to Detroit at No. 2, Hutchinson is the consensus choice of pre-combine mock drafts for the Lions. If he’s gone, it opens the door for GM Brad Holmes to explore different positions, including quarterback (Malik Willis) or safety/LB (Kyle Hamilton). Georgia DL Travon Walker threw his name into the hat with an outstanding athletic display, and Thibodeaux will still get mentions as well despite choosing not to work out. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. -

Could Georgia DE Travon Walker be a candidate for the Lions pick at No. 2 overall? / - -

Could Georgia DE Travon Walker be a candidate for the Lions pick at No. 2 overall? / - - - The pool of candidates for the Detroit Lions to select from at the No. 2 overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft could be a little deeper than previously expected. Coming out of the scouting combine, don’t be surprised if Georgia defensive lineman Travon Walker starts appearing in some projections to Detroit. - Walker has generally been projected in the 10-20 overall range, but that information sure feels outdated. The draft media buzz has been steadily growing for Walker this entire draft season. Dane Brugler from The Athletic has been leading the growing charge praising Walker as a prospect with elite traits and high-end potential worthy of being selected in the top five overall. - - Feedback from a couple of league guys on my high ranking of #Georgia DL Travon Walker (No. 6 overall in my top-100): - "You're going to look really smart on that call." - "Whoa! You like him better than us!" - ¯_(ツ)_/¯ - — Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) February 19, 2022 - - - After his measurements in Indianapolis and his on-field athletic display, the skeptical crowd Brugler referenced should be growing quieter. Walker checks the physical attribute boxes better than either Michigan’s Aidan Hutchinson or Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux, the two long-running presumptive top pass rush prospects in this draft. - - #NFL Combine EDGE Measurements - Travon Walker6'5"272 lbs35.5 Arm Length84 1/4 Wingspan - Kayvon Thibodeaux6'4"254 lbs33 1/8 Arms79.5 Wingspan - Aidan Hutchinson6'6"260 lbs32 1/8 Arms78 1/8 Wingspan - — The GOAT House (@GoatHouseNFL) March 5, 2022 - - - And then he worked out… - He’s a rare athletic specimen with the traits that NFL teams drool over. The length, the speed, the burst, the explosion — Walker has it all. His athletic ability draws a very close comparison to Myles Garrett, who has posted 51 sacks in his last 57 games as a two-time All-Pro. - - Travon Walker update. - 9.99 is Myles Garrett range. pic.twitter.com/hrKMeAwp5V - — Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) March 5, 2022 - - - Walker doesn’t have the collegiate production that wows. His stat sheet from Georgia in 2021: 37 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, six sacks, two PDs. Keep in mind, however, that he played on a loaded Bulldog defense that could have every lineman, LB and safety drafted. He aligned both inside and outside, something he can do in the NFL as well. But he’s the ideal athlete to play the in-line EDGE role in the Lions’ emerging 4-man front. - It’s time to consider Walker as a viable candidate for the No. 2 overall pick. After his outstanding combine, paired with his on-field prowess, the Lions will absolutely think about it. - - - - - - - - - -

WR Amari Cooper 'done' with Cowboys, could fit Lions' offseason plans / On a day when the wide receivers have been prominently featured at the 2022 NFL scouting combine, a veteran wideout with a very impressive production record might steal the show. Reports are out that the Dallas Cowboys are set to move on from four-time Pro Bowler Amari Cooper before free agency begins. - In an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show,” NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport said: “Cooper is done with the Cowboys. I think they’ll try to trade him before they release him, which makes some sense.” - It certainly does make sense for Dallas, which is on the hook for a $6 million dead-cap hit if they dump Cooper. He is due a $20 million salary in each of the next three seasons, and that figure is guaranteed for 2022 on March 20. - That’s an awfully big salary to absorb for any team, especially if the Cowboys have already signaled their intention to release Cooper. As a vested veteran, Cooper is not subject to waivers and would be free to sign with any team. He will turn 28 in June. - Cooper caught 68 passes for 865 yards and eight TDs in 15 games in 2021. It was the lowest catch total and yardage he’s posted since 2017, his last full year with the Raiders. - - "I believe Amari Cooper is done with the Cowboys but I think they're gonna try & trade him before they release him" ~@RapSheet#PMSLive pic.twitter.com/nzitfeo7zw - — at McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) March 4, 2022 - - - He’s a player the Lions should have interest in signing if he hits the market. Cooper can win at all levels of the defense and fills the need of a field-stretching, outside-the-numbers receiver that, earlier this week, new Detroit OC Ben Johnson specifically stated he wants for his offense. With so many pending free agents and what looks like a deep draft class, Cooper’s price tag might be more reasonable than expected, too. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

2022 NFL Combine: Rams won't have GM, HC in attendance in Indianapolis / Normally, teams are looking to copy anything

2022 NFL Combine: Rams won't have GM, HC in attendance in Indianapolis / Normally, teams are looking to copy anything and everything they can from the Super Bowl champions. The copycat league of the NFL can often lead teams to chase trends instead of getting ahead of them. - If the Detroit Lions are looking to copy from GM Brad Holmes’ past roots in Los Angeles, he’s got an interesting concept to appropriate from his old team. The Rams aren’t sending either GM Les Snead or head coach Sean McVay to this week’s NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis. - It’s an interesting choice, one that the Lions and Holmes aren’t likely to follow. The Rams do not have a pick in the first 100 selections in this year’s draft, so it’s quite a bit less important for them to know all the top prospects in the 2022 NFL draft. But it is still seen as a radical move by the world champions. - The two attended last year’s very limited event. In 2020, McVay was there for a day before flying back and Snead stayed behind. A tweet about the Rams decision references Snead’s “F Them Picks” shirt that he wore to the Super Bowl parade: - - The Rams say Les Snead and Sean McVay are not going to attend the draft combine. F them picks indeed. - — Greg Beacham (@gregbeacham) February 27, 2022 - - - The team won’t completely abandon the combine. The Rams will send their medical team along with a few others from their front office and coaching staff, but the big decision-makers won’t be there for interviews or to take in the on-field workouts. - With the combine possibly moving locations, including possibly to Los Angeles, after this year, it will be interesting if Snead and McVay start a trend or not. - Note: Portions of this originally appeared at Browns Wire - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

What WRs could be available for the Lions at No. 32? Daniel Jeremiah offers several options / The Detroit Lions

What WRs could be available for the Lions at No. 32? Daniel Jeremiah offers several options / The Detroit Lions have a major need at wide receiver, that’s common knowledge. In his conference call with the media, NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah revealed several wideout options for the Lions with their picks at No. 32 and No. 34 in the 2022 NFL draft. - Jeremiah was asked about the Jacksonville Jaguars potentially taking a wide receiver at No. 33 overall, the first pick of the second round. However, with the Lions holding the picks on either side of Jacksonville, his answer certainly offers some insight into what Detroit can do at No. 32 or No. 34 in addressing the wideout position. - “Well, we see receivers that are first-round guys fall out of the first round every year, and part of it’s just because we have the sheer numbers,” Jeremiah responded. “But if you look at the wideouts that have been taken in the second round over the last handful of years, you’re going to see a ton of studs from — just look at Ole Miss, from D.K. Metcalf, A.J. Brown, Elijah Moore, those three wide receivers from one school, Terry McLaurin, on and on and on and on. We can go through Deebo Samuel. Every year we see guys with big grades that end up falling into the second round just because of the sheer number of wideouts that we have.” - Then Jeremiah got into some more specific players in the 2022 draft. - “We talked about him a little bit, but Jameson Williams, where does he go? Does he still go in the first round off that injury? If he doesn’t, you’re the - Jags, shoot, you talk about hitting a home run. When he gets healthy, you’ve got a dynamic player for Trevor (Lawrence) to work with here. - That would be kind of a slam dunk no-brainer.” - Williams suffered a torn ACL in Alabama’s college football playoff run and might not be available for at least some of the 2022 season. Prior to the injury, the speedy Williams was often projected as a top-10 selection. - Back to Jeremiah… - “We’ve talked about (Ohio State’s Chris) Olave and (Penn State’s Jahan) Dotson, does one of them fall out? I think Treylon Burks (Arkansas) will be long gone,” Jeremiah continued. “Kind of a wildcard, it might be a little early there with that first pick, but George Pickens from Georgia who’s had some injuries is really, really gifted. To me I think — I kind of thought he’d be more back end of 2 (second round), but we’ll see how he goes through the spring because that guy, he can really go up and get the football. He just has that ability to play above the rim and he’s a pretty crisp route runner for somebody who’s 6-3. He’s an interesting one. I think those are kind of the names I’d keep an

Lions have fifth-most total draft capital to use in 2022 / It’s a critical offseason for the Detroit Lions to build upon the late-season momentum from 2021. The good news for Detroit is that the team and GM Brad Holmes have considerable resources in the 2022 NFL draft to load up with more talent. - Per Warren Sharp of NBC Sports, the Lions have the fifth-most total draft value in April’s draft. Detroit’s cache of value includes the No. 2 overall pick and also the final pick in the first round. - Three teams with multiple picks in the top 20 overall–the New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants–have the highest figures.

Daniel Jeremiah sees Aidan Hutchinson and Kyle Hamilton as the best Lions draft options / In a conference call in advance of the 2022 NFL scouting combine, NFL.com analyst Daniel Jeremiah offered up a lot of interesting tidbits about the upcoming draft and prospects. The very first question he answered, courtesy of Dave Birkett of the Free Press, dealt with the Lions and their possibilities with the No. 2 overall pick in the draft. - Jeremiah, a former NFL scout, ruled it down to two options: Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson or Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton. He made it clear Hutchinson was the top choice and could very well be the No. 1 overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars. - “If Hutchinson’s off the board and he’s gone, if he goes one, I would have no issues whatsoever with them taking Kyle Hamilton and saying this is a plug-and-play guy who’s going to give them something they desperately need, and that’s somebody that can make a play,” Jeremiah told reporters via Zoom. “In a different draft, where maybe you had some guys at a different level of grades, then you could say, ‘okay, well, I’ll lean towards the edge rusher, positional value, all that stuff.’ But I think Kyle Hamilton stacks up really well with everybody in this draft.” - In a later answer, he addressed the Hutchinson vs. Kayvon Thibodeaux argument. Jeremiah wasn’t that bullish on Thibodeaux, who has been a popular projection for the No. 2 pick as well. He noted that Hutchinson, “plays a lot harder on a consistent basis” and has “more explosive power” in his hands. - - List - - Here are all the draft prospects invited to the 2022 scouting combine - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Mock draft watch: More Kyle Hamilton-to-Detroit projections keep coming / For much of the last few weeks, nearly every 2022 NFL mock draft has projected either Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson or Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux as the selection for the Detroit Lions with the No. 2 overall pick. But a few recent mocks have brought forth a different possibility for that lofty spot. - To channel Yoda, there is another… - While it’s still not a prevalent development, the idea of Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton to Detroit at the No. 2 spot is growing in popularity. Two prominent outlets and veteran draft analysts proposed that very scenario in their updates this week. - Rob Rang at FOX Sports and Chris Trapasso from CBS Sports each rolled with Hamilton to the Lions, a team in desperate need at safety. As Trapasso noted succinctly, - Hamilton has the size and tools to go this high, and the Lions need a true defensive playmaker. - There are still several current mocks that don’t have Hamilton anywhere near the Lions or the No. 2 pick. As an example, Pro Football Focus’ latest slots Hamilton at No. 8 overall to the Falcons. In that one, the Lions tabbed Kayvon Thibodeaux at No. 2 and Matt Corral at No. 32. - Keep in mind that it’s still early in the process. Mock draft projections at this point are more about presenting ideas and possibilities than locking down picks with any certainty. The NFL scouting combine next week will help provide a lot more insight on where players might wind up and what teams are looking for at each spot. Free agency hasn’t happened yet either, and Hamilton happens to play the position that is among the deepest and most diversely talented with available veterans. - - List - - Lions mock offseason v3.0: Presenting the QB of the future - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Could the Lions have interest in a trade for Falcons WR Calvin Ridley? / The Detroit Lions have a dire

Could the Lions have interest in a trade for Falcons WR Calvin Ridley? / The Detroit Lions have a dire need for help at wide receiver this offseason. It’s arguably the most pressing need on the entire team. And while the focus right now is on free agency and the upcoming 2022 NFL draft, could a trade also help fill the need? - That’s the thought behind the potential of acquiring Falcons wideout Calvin Ridley. The Falcons could be willing to part with Ridley, their first-round pick in 2017, in exchange for the right level of compensation. - Here’s what Matt Urben (formerly of Lions Wire) wrote over at Falcons Wire about the potential fit between Ridley and Detroit, - No team in the league needs help at the wide receiver position as badly as Detroit. Jared Goff didn’t have a great season, but he had very little to work with in the passing game. The Lions have a great tight end in T.J. Hockenson, former Georgia star D’Andre Swift at running back and a good offensive line. They really just need a few legitimate weapons on the outside to make the offense click. Ridley would instantly become the Lions’ No. 1 option and perhaps he’d prefer Dan Campbell’s temperament to that of Arthur Smith. - Ridley isn’t a slam-dunk sale as a receiver. He caught 31 passes for 281 yards and two TDs in Atlanta in 2021, a year where he missed 12 games due to personal reasons dealing with his mental health and well-being. He’s been an effective weapon, catching 26 touchdowns among 217 receptions in his first three seasons while primarily serving as the second banana to All-Pro Julio Jones. But he’s entering the final year of his contract and will need to learn a third offense in as many offseasons with whatever team he joins. - Based on player fit, it makes sense for the Lions to pursue Ridley. But between the cost of acquiring him and the concept of Ridley being a one-year rental, it’s hard to see the forward-looking Lions having a lot of interest unless there are no other strong suitors for Atlanta to choose from. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Anthony Lynn: Lions have 'great leadership' and 'foundation is being laid' / When Anthony Lynn was hired before the 2021

Anthony Lynn: Lions have 'great leadership' and 'foundation is being laid' / When Anthony Lynn was hired before the 2021 season he said the main reason he came to Detroit was because of Dan Campbell. He talked of his respect for the Lions’ head coach and wanting to be part of what he was planning to build with Campbell’s new vision for the Lions. - One of the early surprising storylines, once the season started, was when Dan Campbell decided to remove Lynn from most of his responsibilities and take over play-calling himself. - Local and national media tried to make this into a distraction for both of the coaches, but in a recent appearance on Woodward Sports, it sounds as if Lynn’s respect for Campbell hasn’t changed at all. - When asked what kept the team together during their struggles, he praised Campbell first and foremost. - “Great leadership I can tell you that,” Lynn told the hosts. “Dan Campbell did a hell of a job of creating a culture. I know the record didn’t show it, but the foundation is being laid for future success right here in Detroit.” - Lynn was the consummate professional throughout and kept working hard in any role he was given. Campbell also showed great leadership doing what he felt was the best for the team and later in the season got some of the results he was looking for both offensively and for the team as a whole. - He also talked about Taylor Decker returning from injury and the acquisition of wide receiver Josh Reynolds later in the year as reasons why they played better later in the season. - When asked about other reasons he was lured to Detroit to work for the Lions initially he praised the new management team, - “Brad Holmes and Ray Agnew, they were always trying to win it every year with the Los Angeles Rams.” - Sheila Ford Hamp continues to try to shape the organization as she sees fit and it appears Lynn was impressed by the resources she is giving the leaders to succeed. The coaching staff overall and the facilities continue to improve with hopes that will soon yield results on the football field for the team, the loyal Lions fans, and all involved with the franchise. - “They are laying the foundation for future success here and I fully expect that,” said Lynn. - That foundation would seem to start with the strong offensive line and draft resources they dedicated to the defensive line in hopes to build dominant units on both sides of the ball. They also have some exciting skill players and young defensive pieces they continue to cultivate day by day as hopeful homegrown stars of the future. - When asked what he was going to miss most this was his reply, - “I’m going to miss this town and this city. I think this is a great city.” - Lynn was back in Detroit to pack

Lions president Rod Wood: 'Right people in place' to create 'sustained success in Detroit' / In a letter to Detroit

Lions president Rod Wood: 'Right people in place' to create 'sustained success in Detroit' / In a letter to Detroit Lions season ticketholders, team president Rod Wood revealed that not only will the team not raise ticket prices, it will actually lower the cost for nearly 20 percent of the Ford field seats. Wood also spoke the truth about the 3-13-1 record, the second-worst in the NFL in 2021. - “As we prepare for the 2022-23 season, I want to acknowledge where we are as an organization,” Wood wrote. “We understand that our results last season weren’t good enough and I speak for everyone at the Lions when I tell you that we are committed to being better on and off the field.” - Wood spoke for the organization in showing enthusiastic support behind GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell. He also acknowledged that the unsavory 2021 season was indeed viewed internally as a necessary step to establish a new culture. - “The last year has confirmed for the entire organization that we have the right people in place to achieve our goal of creating sustained success in Detroit,” the letter explained. “The work that Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell have done to create a plan for the future of this team, is evident every day in our building. The work we did this year to establish a culture of collaboration, grit and resilience will serve as a foundation for where we are headed.” - Given the league-high injury impact the Lions suffered through in 2021 and the Holmes-Campbell gameplan to rely on rookies and unproven talents instead of signing veterans to temporarily fill holes, it helps put some of the losing in perspective. However, fans who have seen and heard previous iterations of Wood’s optimistic statements fall flat have earned the right to be skeptical. Or, to quote the band Rush, “Show me don’t tell me.” - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

The Lions must find a better backup QB option than Tim Boyle / - - - The Detroit

The Lions must find a better backup QB option than Tim Boyle / - - - The Detroit Lions will be adding at least one quarterback to the roster this coming offseason. Both players on the 2021 depth chart behind Jared Goff are free agents, and it’s extremely unlikely the Lions bring back both No. 2 Tim Boyle and No. 3 David Blough. - Based on what we saw in 2021, they shouldn’t bring back either one. - Blough played exactly four offensive snaps, didn’t throw a pass but did take a sack. He’s a charismatic and energetic guy, but the lack of usage and underwhelming results whenever he’s been given a chance (five starts in 2019, preseason appearances) almost certainly mean the end of the David Blough experience in Detroit. - Then there’s Boyle. Signed by GM Brad Holmes to a one-year, $2.4 million contract early last offseason, the former Packers backup had a brutal statistical performance in 2021. In three starts for an unavailable Goff, Boyle threw six INTs to three TDs, averaging just 3.4 adjusted yards per attempt on 94 passes. For context, Goff ranked 21st at 5.64 and the league average was 6.37. - To be fair to Boyle, his first start came under suboptimal conditions. He was fresh off the injured reserve with a thumb injury, meaning he got very few practice reps that week and none for over two full months beforehand. The Browns defense dictated a lot of quick passes, and Boyle delivered 23 of them — netting a pathetic 77 passing yards. - He was better, relatively speaking, in his subsequent starts. Boyle showed some semblance of accuracy and did get more aggressive. But the mistakes and misreads remained problematic in losses to Atlanta and Seattle, a Seahawks defense that surrendered more passing first downs on the season than any other team. - The accuracy and game management issues that dogged Boyle in college, both at UConn and Eastern Kentucky (55 percent completions, 12 TDs, 26 INTs) followed him to Detroit. The game still speeds up for him too readily under pressure. - With Goff ensconced as the starter in 2022 but undecided beyond that, having a developmental-type of backup quarterback makes sense for Detroit. They need someone who can learn from Goff, master the offense and then (hopefully) take over in 2023 if Goff’s time is done. Based on what we’ve seen from Boyle, who is two weeks older than Goff, he’s not that guy. There’s no reason to pay a premium for another season of Boyle proving he’s not all over again. - - RelatedListen: Breaking down Ben Johnson as OC and Aubrey Pleasant's fate with Detroit Lions Podcast - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - -

2022 free agency: Beware breaking the bank for premium WRs / Wide receiver is a major need for the Detroit

2022 free agency: Beware breaking the bank for premium WRs / Wide receiver is a major need for the Detroit Lions in the 2021 offseason. Just ask Lions’ WR coach Antwaan Randle El, who wants the team to draft two and sign another free agent to help boost the league’s most anemic wideout corps. - However, simply going out onto the free agent market and paying top dollar for a big-ticket wide receiver isn’t likely to work out. A recent study shows that signing expensive free agent WRs has been a consistent failing strategy for teams of all caliber. - Over the last four seasons of free agency, just two of the 32 premium free agents (total contract value of at least $8 million) at wide receiver have topped 1,000 receiving yards. Only four have caught at least 70 passes in the first season with the new team. - The name at the top is one Lions fans know all too well — Kenny Golladay. Detroit’s unheralded Kalif Raymond (48 receptions, 575 yards, 4 TDs) outproduced Golladay for 1.3 percent of the annual average compensation. - - In fact, Raymond posted more productivity in Detroit’s largely moribund passing offense than all but two of the 10 free agent wideouts who pulled at least $8 million in total contract value last offseason. One of those is the man whose role he replaced in Detroit, Marvin Jones, who was very good on a very bad Jacksonville team. - This isn’t advocating for Kalif Raymond, though the Lions would be wise to consider bringing back the diminutive speedster for the right price. It’s more a cautionary tale against relying too heavily on a high-priced free agent to provide bang for the receiving buck. - The originating post on Twitter from where the spreadsheet here is taken: - - U want a #1 WR? Well u arent finding one in FA. 32 WRs signed as UFA since 2018 for $8M or more in total contract value. 2 reached 1000+ receiving yards and 0 had >6 TDs. The avg season has been 41 rec, 503 yds, 3 TD. Its an absolute wasteland. Go cheap, trade or draft pic.twitter.com/OqN25G4vnN - — TA (@ClevTA) February 16, 2022 - - - Note that the average production from those 32 wideouts is very close to what the Lions got from Raymond. Again, this isn’t about pumping up Raymond; it’s warning against betting too heavily that the answer to the Lions’ passing game woes can be bought with a big-ticket free agent. The two guys who did top 1,000 receiving yards, John Brown and Robbie Anderson, haven’t come close to doing it since. The Bills even ate Brown’s contract and cut him prior to the 2021 season. - Many of the more prominent free agent WRs for this offseason already appear on the list: Allen Robinson (twice), Juju Smith-Schuster, Emmanuel Sanders, Sammy Watkins, Will Fuller. A Lions swing-and-miss from last year, Tyrell Williams, also made the

Lions offseason: So many needs but RB isn't one of them / When Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes leads

Lions offseason: So many needs but RB isn't one of them / When Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes leads the team in writing out the offseason shopping list, it’s going to be a long one. Going 3-13-1 and finishing near the bottom in both offense and defense means there are plenty of needs for Detroit in the 2022 NFL draft and free agency. - But there is one position Holmes won’t have to write on the shopping list. The Lions are fully stocked at running back. - Coming off the best ground game Detroit has produced in 20 years, the Lions bring back the top four RBs and the entire starting offensive line for 2022. The quartet at running back is all under contract through the next season. - Jamaal Williams returns as the ringleader. The veteran played well in his first year in Detroit, topping 600 yards on the ground on 153 carries. Williams also caught 26 of 28 passing targets and was a rock in pass protection. His effusive energy and playful personality were a much-needed dose of positivity for the Lions. Williams is signed through the 2022 season for $4.63 million in total compensation. - D’Andre Swift led the Lions in rushing yards with 617 (16 more than Williams) and also showed he’s a fantastic threat out of the backfield. Swift caught 62 passes for over 400 yards and scored seven total touchdowns. He has two years left on his rookie contract. - Craig Reynolds exploded off the practice squad with a commanding two-week performance as the primary back. In Weeks 14-15, Reynolds hammered the ball for 195 yards on 37 carries. That performance earned the young journeyman a stable contract through the 2022 season in Detroit that will pay him just under $1 million. That’s exceptional value for a quality No. 3 RB. - Then there’s Jermar Jefferson. A sixth-round rookie from Oregon State, he was a healthy scratch for most of his first season. When Jefferson did get a chance, he too was effective: 15 carries for 74 yards and two TDs. He’s tied to the Lions through the 2024 season for less than $1 million per season on average. There is certainly room for improvement in the passing game for Jefferson, but he’s a keeper. - Fullback Jason Cabinda can also come back. Cabinda, who came to Detroit as a linebacker, is a restricted free agent and was effective enough to return for another season. - It leaves no urgent need to add any running backs this offseason. If Holmes & Co. decides to save some money and get rid of Williams, then that changes. But signing a veteran free agent or using a draft pick on a running back this offseason is quite literally the last thing these Lions need to do in 2022. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - -

Mock draft watch: The Ringer has a different QB projection for the Lions / The first set of 2022 NFL

Mock draft watch: The Ringer has a different QB projection for the Lions / The first set of 2022 NFL draft projections from The Ringer are fresh off the presses. Veteran analyst Danny Kelly goes through the first round with a mock that strikes a familiar note for the Lions at the top before going in a very new direction at the bottom of the first round. - After slotting Alabama OT Evan Neal to Jacksonville at No. 1, Kelly projects the Lions to take Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson. That’s the most common 1-2 projection in current mocks, and it makes sense to roll with the consensus until the scouting combine at the beginning of March. - It’s the selection at No. 32 overall, the one acquired from the Rams, where Kelly steps in a new direction. His projection for Detroit’s second selection is Cincinnati QB Desmond Ridder. - Not many mocks have projected Ridder to the Lions, and he’s usually on the board for Detroit at both 32 and 34 (when mocks extend to the second round). - Ridder is a worthy gamble at this spot for the Lions. He may need some time to acclimate to the NFL after playing against inferior competition at Cincinnati, but with Jared Goff under contract for 2022, Detroit can bring their rookie quarterback along slowly. Ridder has all the tools to develop into a franchise quarterback. - Ridder had an up-and-down week during Senior Bowl practices while playing for the National team, coached by the New York Jets. He does have intriguing upside and athletic tools and is a proven winner for the Bearcats, so traveling up I-75 a couple hundred miles is not such a bad idea. - Most of the mock drafts that have projected a quarterback to Detroit have featured Malik Willis or Matt Corral, so seeing Ridder offers up a fresh idea that’s worth considering. - - List - - Lions mock offseason for 2022, first edition - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Reacting to Matthew Stafford winning a Super Bowl in another uniform / Like the rest of the Lions nation, I

Reacting to Matthew Stafford winning a Super Bowl in another uniform / Like the rest of the Lions nation, I watched Super Bowl LVI in eager anticipation of seeing how Matthew Stafford would fare in the biggest game of his life. Going into the game, I wasn’t sure how to feel about watching the best Lions QB of the Super Bowl era finally playing to win one in another uniform. - The game turned out like so many games Stafford played in Detroit. After some shaky moments, he delivered in the clutch. Stafford led a 15-play, 72-yard scoring drive to lead the Rams from a 20-16 deficit to a 23-20 lead, hitting Cooper Kupp with what proved to be the game-winner with just over a minute to play. - In that moment, I found myself pulling for Stafford. I wasn’t one of those people who liked the “Detroit Rams” shirts or felt the need for any sweeping statement on Stafford from this game. I was basically indifferent, to be honest. But when he got the ball back with a chance to lead a game-winning drive, I was firmly behind No. 9. - Just as he did 38 times in 12 seasons in Detroit — six more than any other quarterback in the NFL in that timeframe — Stafford led his team on a game-winning drive for a comeback victory. For the third game in a row, Stafford did it in a postseason game. That should effectively kill any of the ridiculous “Stat Padford” narratives that too many people who should know better still love to spew out. When given the chance to lead a game-winning drive in a meaningful game, Stafford did it three times in a row. He’s now got a Super Bowl ring to show for it. - He didn’t do it alone. Aaron Donald snuffed out the last-gasp Bengals drive by himself, ruining the final two Cincinnati offensive plays. Kupp perked up late in the game once Rams head coach Sean McVay remembered he was on the team and stopped running the ball. The offensive line clamped down the Bengals pass rush late, too. Giving Stafford all the credit is an embarrassing disservice to his teammates. Kupp won the MVP for his two touchdown receptions, and the award just as easily could have gone to Donald. - In the end, I’m happy for Stafford. Genuinely happy. It’s disappointing that it never happened in Detroit, and he bears some of the blame for that. No doubt about it. But when he was traded a little over a year ago, that chapter ended. I was among the many who moved on without a lot of emotion. I’m a Lions fan above any one player. That can be a frustrating existence, but you can’t change where your heart lies. - The whole book should be closed now for Detroit and Lions fans, and it was a happy ending for Stafford and the Rams. They went all-in and it worked, a

Panthers blindsided when Detroit Lions traded Matthew Stafford to Rams / At the end of last season, the major headlines

Panthers blindsided when Detroit Lions traded Matthew Stafford to Rams / At the end of last season, the major headlines surrounded Matthew Stafford after the Detroit Lions. The Los Angeles Rams put a package that brought the Georgia product to sunny L.A. and is now competing in Super Bowl, but that was almost not the case. - Recently, Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes confirmed that the Carolina Panthers were a top suitor in Stafford’s franchise-altering trade. According to a recent article from Charlotte Observer reporter Jonathan Alexander, the Panthers thought they had everything secured. Still, they were shocked to find out Los Angeles swooped in and essentially stole Stafford from them. - At this same time last year, during the Senior Bowl, Panthers brass were in talks with the Lions concerning Stafford because it was clear the Panthers wanted to upgrade the quarterback position after another disappointing season. In addition, it was clear the Panthers were through with Teddy Bridgewater after his failure to come up big in the most crucial moments, something Stafford has in abundance. - Throughout the week of talks, the Lions and Panthers had agreed to the foundation of the trade, the eighth pick in the 2021 draft, and Bridgewater. The details have the potential trade had plenty of variation with some having an extra late pick in the mix, but knowing the details of the trade, the Panthers had to believe they were getting a steal. - Leaving last year’s Senior Bowl, the Panthers were supremely confident they just landed their franchise quarterback to help elevate the offense, but that was far from the truth after they made it back to Panther headquarters. They learned from a reporter that the Lions were close to pulling off a trade with the Rams, Stafford’s preferred destination, and later it confirmed after the Panthers spoke with Holmes. - The Panthers went from believing they had landed Stafford to learning secondhand that it wasn’t as clear-cut as they thought it was. Surely the rollercoaster of emotion was a tough one to swallow, with some of the Panthers higher-ups believing they had won the trade to being ripped away like a band-aid. - There will always be debate about which trade the Lions should’ve done, and it’s not something that will go away any time soon. Knowing how close the Panthers were to pulling the trade adds another layer to the Stafford trade saga. With Stafford competing for the most coveted prize in the NFL, the Panthers will always wonder what could’ve been and how close they almost had him, but now just a faded dream. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get

Dom Capers leaving the Lions for the Broncos after one season as a defensive assistant / Lions defensive senior assistant

Dom Capers leaving the Lions for the Broncos after one season as a defensive assistant / Lions defensive senior assistant Dom Capers is leaving Detroit after one season. Capers, one of the legendary defensive architects of the modern NFL, is heading to Denver to fill a similar role with the Broncos and their new coaching staff. - Capers, 72, came to Detroit to help Aaron Glenn transition from being a position coach to a defensive coordinator for the first time. Glenn played under Capers with the Houston Texans and deployed a similar base scheme to Capers’ 3-4 with an Eagle front. - Even though the Lions defense struggled in the transition from Matt Patricia’s heavy read-and-react scheme, Capers is still quite bullish on Detroit’s defense. - “Believe me, everything was positive here,” Capers told the Detroit Free Press. “I loved Dan (Campbell) and I thought Dan did a great job this year holding this team together, keeping them fighting. And I thought A.G., I think through a lot of adversity and player movement and all those things did a really good job.” - Capers continued, - “I thought we played our best football at the end of the season, which having started two expansion teams from scratch, you’ve got some experience at having to fight through that. I just feel like the arrow’s pointing up and everything’s heading in the right direction here so that really had nothing to do with it.” - It is unknown if Capers will be replaced on the Lions staff. Detroit is hoping to hold onto defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant, who is still in consideration for the coordinator position with the New Orleans Saints. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Jared Goff happy for the Rams and Matthew Stafford for Super Bowl run / After Jared Goff fell out of

Jared Goff happy for the Rams and Matthew Stafford for Super Bowl run / After Jared Goff fell out of favor with the Los Angeles Rams, it became clear the Rams were looking to upgrade the quarterback position. Once the Detroit Lions jettisoned the previous regime and looked to start fresh, it became clear Matthew Stafford’s days were numbered. This turned into a perfect scenario for a Rams team that had fallen below expectations. - The Rams felt Stafford was one the missing cogs to turn the tide in hopes of making a run to the Super Bowl, and it seemed they would do almost do anything to bring Stafford to Los Angeles. It was an added benefit the Lions wanted to do Stafford right and fulfill his wishes, which made the Rams an ideal destination. With the Rams packaging, a slew of draft picks and Jared Goff, they were able to bring in their guy, and it is now one victory away from capturing a Super Bowl win. - Many Lions fans are rooting for Stafford to finally get his glory after dealing with what seems like constant rebuilding in the Lions organization. Still, there is one person in particular who you may think is taking it harder than most, and that is none other than the player Stafford replaced in Los Angeles but is happy for all parties involved. - In a recent interview with Bally Sports, Goff opened up about his feelings about his former teammates. - “Most of all, I’m happy for those guys because I know how hard they’ve worked, and they deserve it,” Goff said. “Of course, as a human, you feel like you can be missing out at times. But I think about, if I was in that situation, how would they feel about me? They’d be equally as thrilled for me.” - Goff understands the business of the NFL, and it is always “what have you done for me lately” and loses interest just as quickly as it was gained. You would be badly mistaken if you think that was any ill-will Goff has for Stafford. - “I’ve always been a huge fan of Matthew’s as a player and as a person. I know that what he went through the first part of his career was tough, and seeing him battle through that and get his opportunity now, it’s amazing. You root for people like that. It’s impossible not to. And it’s impossible not to root for good things to happen to good people.” - Surely watching an organization you help lead to a Super Bowl during your tenure can hurt a little bit, but being the professional and person Goff is, it through the moon for his former team and Stafford. Most would like to rub salt in the wound, especially since he was dealt with a rebuilding Lions team on top of it all; it allows Goff to start fresh in Detroit and build his identity and help them out

Lions LB Derrick Barnes was a centerpiece of Andrew Whitworth's Walter Payton Man of the Year acceptance speech / Los Angeles Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth captured the Walter Payton Man of the Year award at the NFL Honors ceremony on Thursday night. In his acceptance speech, Whitworth proved why he was so deserving and used an interaction with Lions rookie LB Derrick Barnes to illustrate why. - Whitworth spent his first 11 seasons playing for the Cincinnati Bengals. Among his many charitable feats, Whitworth used to spend time mentoring young men at a Boys and Girls Club in Cincinnati. One of those kids he impacted was Barnes, who grew up in the area. - Barnes had recounted this story earlier in the year after the Lions played the Rams. Whitworth gave it a much bigger audience on Thursday night. - “One experience brought it all together for me this year, and it happened to me on a football field,” Whitworth recounted. “In our game against the Detroit Lions, I had a young player from the Lions run up to me as soon as the final horn went off. And I saw him sprinting over, and I didn’t know what was going on, like we’d known each other forever. I couldn’t place him. It made me so nervous. Had I actually played long enough that a coach’s son or player’s son is playing against me? He stopped that. - He said, ‘Hey man, you’re not going to remember me. I’m Derrick Barnes. You spent time with me when you were a young player in Cincinnati at the Boys & Girls Club, and it meant the world to me. You used to sit with me and talk to me about life. And I was just a little kid. I want you to know how much it meant to me. . . . You know what, the main thing I wanted to say, Whit, I made it. I made it to the NFL, Big Whit.’” - - "I made it to the NFL, big Whit." - Lions rookie Derrick Barnes ran up to Whitworth at the end of their Week 7 game. - And put everything into perspective. #WPMOY pic.twitter.com/2eJ6W7zS7l - — NFL (@NFL) February 11, 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire

Mock draft watch: Draft Wire's post-Senior Bowl 3 rounds of Lions projections / The latest wave of 2022 NFL mock drafts is updated for the Senior Bowl week. Between the Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl, most of the NFL and NFL draft movers and shakers were together in person for the first time. It’s provided a little more insight into where teams might be looking and helped slot the players with more confidence. - The latest three-round projections from Draft Wire and editor Luke Easterling recalibrate the draft slotting a bit. While it doesn’t impact the Lions with their first pick at No. 2, several of the picks between Detroit’s first pick and the Rams’ first-rounder and Lions’ second-rounder have shifted. - Easterling is quite confident in the position the Lions will choose, if not the exact player, at No. 2 overall. This time, it’s Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson, - This pick will be an edge rusher, whether it’s Hutchinson or Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux. While Thibodeaux might have more athleticism and a higher ceiling, he’s not quite as consistent, polished or as complete a defender as Hutchinson right now. - The next pick is a new wrinkle. Thanks to a knee injury, Alabama’s speedy WR Jameson Williams is available at No. 32. He gets the nod with the caveat that it might not produce results immediately. - Safety remains a critical need, and Draft Wire hits that with the second-rounder. Michigan’s Daxton Hill stays close to Ann Arbor and projects as an instant starter in Detroit. The third-round pick goes back to wideout with Nevada’s Romeo Doubs. While he didn’t excel in Mobile, Doubs has the athletic profile of pending free agent Josh Reynolds, who made a positive splash on Detroit’s offense after being acquired midseason. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Michael Brockers: 'The city of Detroit is awesome' and he's happy despite his old team being in the Super Bowl

Michael Brockers: 'The city of Detroit is awesome' and he's happy despite his old team being in the Super Bowl / One year ago, Michael Brockers was a starting defensive end for the Los Angeles Rams. It was a role Brockers held for nine straight seasons and handled very well. - Flash forward to now, and the Rams are in Super Bowl LVI without him. Brockers was traded to the Detroit Lions last March for a seventh-round draft pick. In his underwhelming first season in Detroit, the Lions struggled to a 3-13-1 record - In an appearance on The Jim Rome Show, Brockers reflected positively on his first year in Detroit and not being on the Rams anymore. In fact, he sure seems happy to be where he is and not lamenting what could have been with his old team. - “It was an all-around — it was a blessing,” Brockers said earnestly. - What about the Rams? - “People keep asking me, ‘man how do you feel'”, Brockers responded. “I’m happy for my guys (old Rams teammates). I’m happy. I’m in a great place. The city of Detroit is awesome. The fans are awesome and I really want to get things turned around for them.” - As for the coming year, Brockers is very optimistic. When asked if he thinks the Lions can compete for the postseason in 2022, Brockers did not hesitate. - “Definitely,” he told Rome on radio row at the Super Bowl. After recounting several of the close losses (the last-second field goals), he talked about the experience the young Lions learned from those and believes it will make them better-equipped to win in those situations next season. - - Brockers is a busy man off the field. He told Rome he’s the happy father of four, ages six to just three months old. It’s a good, engaging few minutes with the veteran Lion and one of the team’s leaders. - Thanks to Chad at the Jim Rome Show for the clips! - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Matthew Stafford's former Lions teammates pulling for him to win / Matthew Stafford is starting in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, the longtime Lions quarterback won’t be representing Detroit in Sunday’s big game. - Even so, many of Stafford’s former Lions teammates are still rooting for No. 9 to get the win. It’s true of a lot of Detroit fans, too. Shirts featuring “Detroit Rams” and pictures of Stafford in both uniforms are selling briskly. - Stafford was beloved by many in his 12 seasons in Detroit. Or as onetime Stafford backup Dan Orlovsky stated via ESPN, where he now works, - “This might be weird for people to hear. It’s going to be like watching a family member.” - Wideout Kris Durham, who played professionally in Europe after his Lions tenure ended, talked about his relationship with Stafford too. - “It’s probably one of the only people that I’ve been really, really close to that has been able to play in this game and possibly win it and for it to be a quarterback, especially after the last 12 months have occurred, have been special,” Durham said. “I’m really excited for him and I’m excited for [Stafford’s wife] Kelly and his family and just have a small, minor part in it.” - - RelatedCalvin Johnson 'extremely happy' to see Matthew Stafford in the Super Bowl - ESPN’s Michael Rothstein got those sorts of quotes from several ex-Lions who played with Stafford in Detroit. From Don Muhlbach to Rob Sims, it’s clear the former teammates want Stafford to win one. Muhlbach put it best, - “I do wish we’d had done it here (in Detroit). It would have been better if we all could have done it together, but I think a lot of his old teammates are thinking the same thing I do.

Lions sign kicker Aldrick Rosas to a reserve/futures contract / A battle royale is shaping up in Allen Park this

Lions sign kicker Aldrick Rosas to a reserve/futures contract / A battle royale is shaping up in Allen Park this offseason for the rights to be the kicker for the Detroit Lions in 2021. After a season where the Lions burned through four kickers for various reasons, three of them are now back on the team and ready to compete for the gig in 2022. - The Lions signed Aldrick Rosas to a reserve/future contract on Monday, tying Rosas to the team through the offseason. Rosas spent one week as the Lions kicker last fall, making one extra point and one field goal in Detroit’s 13-10 loss to Cleveland in Week 11. - - RelatedLions sign 9 from the practice squad to reserve/future contracts - Rosas took over that week for Ryan Santoso, who was dispatched after a brutal game in the tie with the Steelers. Santoso missed an extra point and wildly botched a field goal. He is the only Lions kicker from the 2021 season not with the team any longer. - Rosas joins Riley Patterson, who took over his job in Week 12, and Austin Seibert on the roster. Seibert made 10 of his 12 field goal attempts in the first six games before suffering a hip injury. He remains under contract. Patterson went 13-of-14 on field goals after taking over for Rosas. The 2021 rookie is an exclusive rights free agent (ERFA), meaning the Lions can retain his rights quite inexpensively if they so choose. - One area where Rosas, 27, has a leg up is in kickoffs. Over 60 percent of his kickoffs in his five-year career have been downed for touchbacks. Seibert is at 39 percent in his three NFL seasons, while Patterson ceded kickoff duties to Lions punter Jack Fox. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Mock draft watch: ESPN slots 3 starters for the Detroit Lions / After yet another successful Senior Bowl, the Detroit Lions were able to be up and personnel with some of the draft’s top talent and took advantage. The Lions were able to gauge the players, who may have opened some eyes in the process in hopes of elevating their stock. - The players may have not only impressed the teams in attendance but also possibly a few draftniks in the process. One is Jordan Reid from ESPN, who recently released a mock draft and gave the Lions three players who could immediately contribute next year. - Reid kept with the growing trend of slotting an offensive tackle to the Jacksonville Jaguars with the first overall pick, projecting Alabama’s Evan Neal. In turn, this leaves the Lions with their choice of the top edge rushers, either Kayvon Thibodeaux or Aidan Hutchinson, with the second overall selection. - Reid has the Lions selecting back-to-back Oregon players in his mock draft, with Thibodeaux as the selection. There will be a lot of back-and-forth between the two edge rushers, and at the end of the day, you can’t go wrong with either one. Thibodeaux is superbly athletic, can bend for days, and will be a terror off the edge, giving the Lions a playmaker they desperately need on the defensive line. - When the Lions obtained Josh Reynolds off of waivers, you could easily see how more comfortable Jared Goff felt in the offense, and it would benefit the Lions if they obtained another playmaker. Reid does just that by slotting Penn State’s Jahan Dotson. Even though Dotson is more viewed as an outside receiver, he can play in the slot equally effectively as well. That gives the Lions a lot more flexibility on offense with T.J. Hockenson and Amon-Ra St. Brown. - The Lions might see a shakeup at safety with Tracy Walker, Dean Marlowe, and C.J. Moore all hitting free agency, leaving a massive hole in the deep part of the field. Reid helps fill the hole with the selection of a local Michigan Wolverine product, Daxton Hill. Aaron Glenn will love to get a hold of Hill, who could be a chess piece on the field with the versatility to line up high or in the slot due to his blazing speed and natural instincts. It will give the Lions the ability to play matchup football and take advantage of any situation laid in front of them. - Reid addressed some of the biggest holes plaguing the Lions squad, which would be a dream scenario heading in the 2022 season. Nabbing two stud defenders and a versatile receiver will help catapult the rebuild for the Lions, who will look to turn this ship around in Detroit. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign

Lions WR coach Antwaan Randle El offers praise, critique of draft prospect Jalen Tolbert / One of the great advantages

Lions WR coach Antwaan Randle El offers praise, critique of draft prospect Jalen Tolbert / One of the great advantages the Detroit Lions got from coaching the American team in the Senior Bowl last week was the ability to learn which players meshed with their coaching staff and style. Lions WR coach Antwaan Randle El offered a good look at how that can work in his comments on South Alabama wideout Jalen Tolbert. - Tolbert, a 6-1 outside receiver playing in his home stadium all week, drew mixed reviews from those of us in attendance in Mobile. Randle El effectively gave his young pupil a mixed review of his own. - “Jalen can play. Yeah, I have no question about Jalen in terms of him catching the ball, route-running and things of that nature,” Randle El offered up to reporters on Thursday in Mobile. “He’s just got to work on small stuff, like his stance. He stands very tall in his stance and in this league, like I’ve already told him, I said, ‘You’ve got no chance.’ Like, you can’t be at the line of scrimmage just standing (straight up).” - Randle El continued, - “So you’ll see in his work today and even yesterday, he started correcting. You can watch the film and you can see the improvement. Sometimes he’s standing up and you’ll see him start getting down and getting more in that defensive or that I’m-shot-out-of-a-cannon stance, and that helps him even with to get into his routes even quicker. And then you seen him make some plays down the field. That was the other thing, so that stood out to us.” - The ability to process constructive criticism and coaching and adapt to what these unfamiliar coaches want is something that separates prospects. Tolbert’s progress through the week showed he can incorporate how Randle El teaches and coaches directly into his game. That’s a feather in Tolbert’s cap in his quest to get drafted by the Lions, or any other team for that matter. - - List - - Senior Bowl notebook: WRs and LBs thrived in 1st practices - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Calvin Johnson 'extremely happy' to see Matthew Stafford in the Super Bowl / For seven seasons, Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson formed one of the NFL’s best passing game duos for the Lions. It helped evolve Johnson into a first-ballot Hall of Famer despite the lack of any postseason success. - Now Johnson is hoping that Stafford can taste the success in Los Angeles. On an appearance with the “Rich Eisen Show” this week, Johnson seemed elated for Stafford being in the Super Bowl in his first season away from Detroit. - “It’s great. I’m happy for the kid,” Johnson told Eisen. “When we were in Detroit, the years we were trending toward the playoffs, we felt like we had a team that could take it all the way – and a lot of that is because we had a great quarterback.” - Johnson said he and Stafford stay in pretty close contact. He’s proudly giving his longtime QB some space this week, however. - “I’ve been choppin’ it up with Matt. I hit him up every now and then,” he said. “I hit him after the game the other day, just happy. I just said ‘championship.’ That’s all it said. Just extremely happy. I’m not going to talk to him this week. I just want him to go out there and get the job done and I fully expect him to win it, but I’m really hoping that he does because one, he’s a friend. Two, just really proud of what he’s done – one, in Detroit, but being in the first year, they brought you in here to go to the championship and you’re ready to do that, so that’s just awesome.” - - What did @calvinjohnsonjr think when he saw his former QB Matthew Stafford take home the NFC Championship last Sunday?#SuperBowl#RamsHouse pic.twitter.com/EjIkLGm3BA - — Rich Eisen Show (@RichEisenShow) February 5, 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Lions LB coach Kelvin Sheppard on LSU's Damone Clark: 'That's like my little brother' / Kelvin Sheppard is one of several Detroit Lions coaches with NFL playing experience. But it’s Sheppard’s most recent time coaching the linebackers at LSU that might mean something important for the Lions in the 2022 NFL draft. - Sheppard is in Mobile with the rest of the Lions staff coaching the American roster in the 2022 Senior Bowl. The team’s LB coach stopped in for an interview with me as part of the Detroit Lions Podcast, and his LSU Tiger roots came out. - After breaking down his interesting path into coaching, Sheppard talked about what it was like to join the coaching staff at his alma mater. This week provided Sheppard, a former Senior Bowl player himself in 2011, a chance to coach one of his LSU proteges all over again. - “Damone Clark, that’s like my little brother,” Sheppard said enthusiastically. “That’s the guy that I mentored all last year. You talk full circle. When he found out he was playing on our team he was beyond excited.” - Clark is one of three LSU players on the roster, along with DT Neil Farrell Jr. and OL Ed Ingram, but the linebacker and the connection he has with Sheppard is perhaps the most critical one to evaluate. Clark had a decent week of practices, showing some coverage skills but really thriving in the pass rush 1-on-1s against American team RBs and TEs. His quick feet and burst smoked nearly every comer in the reps. He is generally expected to be a third- or fourth-round pick. - - RelatedDan Campbell describes what he's looking for in potential Lions draft prospects - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Dan Campbell describes what he's looking for in potential Lions draft prospects / After one year of the Dan Campbell experience as the Detroit Lions head coach, we’ve got a solid baseline idea for what makes up a Campbell type of player. Kneecap quips aside, there’s a definite style that Campbell and his staff covet. - The head coach talked about what he thinks he’s looking for in an interview with NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero from the Senior Bowl practice session on Thursday. - “You’re looking for these guys that have a little bite back to them, a little resiliency,” Campbell told Pelissero on the broadcast. “You see some of these guys, how they handle adversity. If they mess something up, how do they respond — do they go in the tank (or) do they snap back?” - Campbell continued and offered an important distinction between his attitude and that of his Lions predecessor, Matt Patricia, - “If they don’t like something they’re willing to stand up for themselves but yet they can keep their emotions under control. They’re not going to be flag (penalty) machines. You’re looking for those little things.” - Campbell also elaborated on why he’s big on ending practices with 1-on-1 competitions between offense and defense. It’s been a huge hit with the players on the American roster here in Mobile. - “You don’t know the very best of the best, or the worst of the best, until you put them 1-on-1,” Campbell explained. “You find out who can rise to the top and sometimes you realize maybe the guys, they fall to the wayside … I think it’s great to put those guys into competitive situations.” - Campbell gave credit to the practice-ending battles to RB coach Duce Staley, who is the acting head coach for the Lions this week. Staley brought up his idea earlier in the week when talking with reporters after Tuesday’s practice session at Hancock Whitney Stadium. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Lions WR coach Antwaan Randle El wants Lions to 'draft 2 and bring in 1' wideout this offseason / It’s no secret: the Detroit Lions need help at wide receiver this offseason. The team’s WR coach, longtime NFL wideout Antwaan El Randle, is keenly aware. And Randle El has a plan for how to make it happen. - In a conversation with reporters in Mobile for the Senior Bowl, Randle El laid it out. - “I’m excited about our competition going into next year, especially if we’re able to bring (pending free agents) Josh (Reynolds) back and bring Kalif (Raymond) back,” Randle El stated. “It’ll be some real competition, which we need. And I told them all — I said I’m trying to draft two and bring in one, ’cause it’s going to be some competition. I want it to be competition. That’s the only thing that makes them better. So they’re expecting that. And they know it and that’s part of the game.” - It’s an ambitious plan, but not one without merit. With Amon-Ra St. Brown as a building block off a fantastic finish to his rookie season, the Lions have the potential to quickly rise from one of the NFL’s weakest overall wideout corps to one that’s an asset in the new offense. The Lions have four draft picks between the Rams’ pick at the end of the first round and the end of the third round once the compensatory picks are assigned. They also have more than enough cap room in free agency to meet Randle El’s desire to add a veteran, too. - If you’re looking for a clue on who might be one of the wide receivers Randle El is interested in drafting, note that Randle El brought up Memphis speedster Calvin Austin without prompting. Austin has had a very impressive week of Senior Bowl practices under Randle El’s watch. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Micah Parsons believed the Lions were drafting him No. 7 overall in the 2021 NFL draft / Micah Parsons took the NFL by storm in his first season with the Dallas Cowboys. The versatile linebacker ran away with the defensive rookie of the year honors after a breakout season with 84 total tackles and 13 sacks. - Could he have been a Detroit Lion? Parsons, who was drafted No. 12 overall, believes it was going to happen before the draft. - On a recent episode of The Pivot podcast with former NFLers Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor, Parsons talked about his belief that he was headed to Detroit. - “I remember at the (Penn State) pro day, the Lions was like, ‘Man, if you on the clock, we taking you,’” Parsons said. “So, I was like, ‘Man, I could be a Lion right now.’” - He’s not bitter about it. Parsons understood the allure of Penei Sewell at No. 7 overall for Detroit. He even acknowledged he might have made the same decision the Lions front office did, given Sewell’s high-end game at offensive tackle. - “So, days before the draft, word got out that the Bengals were going to take (WR) Ja’Marr (Chase) instead of Penei (Sewell). So the Lions was like, ‘If Penei is here, he could be a generational lineman.’ So, you gotta take him to protect the quarterback, which makes a lot of sense, because linemen have a lot more value than linebacker if you only playing one position.” - It’s not uncommon for players to come away from meetings with teams believing they will be that team’s draft pick. It’s part of the draft rigamarole every year. Parsons became an outstanding NFLer right away in part because the Cowboys played him extensively as a pass rusher and not off-ball. The Lions later drafted Derrick Barnes in the position Parsons would have played in Detroit, and Barnes had just 18 pass rush attempts all season despite the fact Barnes was an accomplished pass rusher at Purdue. - - List - - Lions mock offseason for 2022, first edition - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Brad Holmes happy with 'great' crop of QBs at the Senior Bowl / Lions general manager Brad Holmes welcomed the Detroit media to Mobile on Monday in advance of this week’s Senior Bowl. Holmes arrived in time to give a quick press conference to kick off the week. - Among the several topics Holmes hit upon: the quarterbacks here for the Senior Bowl, specifically the three on the American roster his Lions will coach this week: Sam Howell, Malik Willis and Bailey Zappe. Holmes likes what he’s seen from all three. - “The crop that came down here, it’s a great, especially on the American roster,” Holmes said Monday afternoon. “Credit to (Senior Bowl exec director) Jim Nagy for getting those top guys to come to the game. They’re all different, they all offer different flavors and capabilities.” - Holmes didn’t go into much depth on any of the players other than to cite his liking of the adversity and situation each of the trio brings with them to Mobile. - “They’ve all kind of battled some kind of adversity and I thought that was kinda cool,” Holmes said. “You’ve got Howell, he lost a lot of skill (players — 4 to the NFL) in the pass offense. He’s got kind of a new cast he’s working with. And you’ve got Willis that had the transfer (from Auburn to Liberty), and he had to go to a different level and produce.” - So what is Holmes looking for this week, and in a quarterback in general? - “Every team is looking for something different. I always say all 32 teams have 32 different boards. They have different ways that they evaluate each position. But I think this week, in particular for all of those quarterbacks of this game, it’s going to be big for them.” - One of the things we’ve learned about Holmes in his first year in Detroit: he’s not just going to give away what he’s thinking about a specific player or situation until it’s finalized. He’s learned well from senior assistant John Dorsey, who was notoriously secretive during his time as the GM of the Cleveland Browns. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Lions had best team's best rushing attack in almost 20 years in 2021 / One of the strengths of the 2021 Detroit Lions was the offensive rushing attack. The Lions relied on a good offensive line and a trio of skilled backs to produce the most prolific ground game in Detroit in a long time. - The Lions averaged 110.9 rushing yards per game in 2021 and did so by averaging 4.4 yards per carry. The 110.9 yards ranked the Lions 18th while the 4.4 YPC just missed cracking the top 10, tying for 11th in the NFL. - It’s been almost 20 seasons since the Lions averaged over 110 yards per game on the ground and 4.4 yards per carry. The last time the team topped each benchmark was the 2004 season. Those Lions, who finished 6-10 under Steve Mariucci as head coach, averaged 111.1 yards per game on the ground at a 4.4 YPC clip. - For those that don’t remember or (mercifully) blocked out the futile Lions’ first decade of this century, Kevin Jones had a quietly great year in 2004. Jones trucked his way to 1,133 yards and five TDs on 241 carries, a 4.7 YPC average. Shawn Bryson chipped in 264 yards at 5.3 YPC, too. Artose Pinner and Joey Harrington posted almost identical rushing stats that brought the average YPC back a little. - Detroit didn’t top 100 yards per game on the ground again until 2009. The 2013 Lions ran for 112 yards per game but averaged just 4.0 yards per carry, with Reggie Bush and Joique Bell sharing the RB duties. The 2020 Lions ran for 93.7 yards per game at 4.1 YPC. - Detroit’s running attack in 2021: - - - - - Carries - Yards - YPC - - - Jamaal Williams - 153 - 601 - 3.9 - - - D’Andre Swift - 151 - 617 - 4.1 - - - Craig Reynolds - 55 - 230 - 4.2 - - - Godwin Igwebuike - 18 - 118 - 6.6 - - - Jared Goff - 17 - 87 - 5.1 - - - Jermar Jefferson - 15 - 74 - 4.9 - - - Amon-Ra St. Brown - 7 - 61 - 8.7 - - - - After the bye week in Week 9, Detroit averaged 116 yards per game on the ground and averaged 4.7 yards per carry in those games. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - -

Lions mock draft watch: 3 rounds driving Detroit to more wins / The latest 3-round mock draft from our friends

Lions mock draft watch: 3 rounds driving Detroit to more wins / The latest 3-round mock draft from our friends at Draft Wire goes down some familiar roads for the Detroit Lions in the 2022 NFL draft. But the picks also blaze a couple of potential new trails. The projections reflect some new perceptions around the league about how the top of the draft might play out. - The hot new theory is that the Jacksonville Jaguars will select Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal with the No. 1 overall pick. This mock goes with Neal at the top, leaving the Lions to choose between Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson and Oregon EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux. And these projections go down the Hutchinson path. - Nearly every current mock has one or the other. Draft Wire rolls with Hutchinson, - The Lions are likely to punt on this year’s quarterback class, opting to ride with Jared Goff for another year while stocking up on talent elsewhere. It’s a tough choice here between Hutchinson and Oregon’s Kayvon Thibodeaux, but the former has is a more well-rounded player right now. - The beaten path takes a new turn to Southern California with the second Lions’ first-round pick. With the selection acquired from the Rams in the Matthew Stafford trade, Detroit tabs USC wide receiver Drake London. Though he ended the year injured, London had an outstanding 2021 campaign and also meshed nicely with Lions top receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown for the Trojans in 2020. - This draft road veers back to Ann Arbor with the second-rounder. Safety Daxton Hill rejoins forces with Hutchinson a few miles to the east of the Wolverines program. To help with the receiving corps even more, the third-round road leads to Nevada and smooth WR Romeo Doubs. - - List - - 15 Shrine Bowl players for Lions fans to know - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Lions GM Brad Holmes confirms Carolina Panthers interest in trading for Matthew Stafford / Walking into the last offseason, the Detroit Lions would see major changes after dismissing the previous “Patriot Way” regime with fresh new faces, Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell, to kick start a new era of Lions. However, when Holmes took over as general manager, the first order of business was at quarterback. It started with potentially losing long-time franchise player Matthew Stafford, with the inevitable rebuild about to occur in Detroit. - Unfortunately, Stafford was at a point in his career where he already experienced a couple of rebuilds and was looking to get the playoff monkey off his back and shed the negative light around him. At that point, Holmes needed to find suitors for Stafford’s services. It wasn’t an issue, with several teams vying for a new franchise quarterback. - Ultimately, Stafford was traded to the Los Angles Rams for two 1st round picks, a 3rd round pick and QB Jared Goff. Several rumors started coming out on teams trying to trade for Stafford, and in a recent interview with 97.1 the Ticket, Brad Holmes confirmed the Carolina Panthers were one of those teams. - The Lions were close to pulling the trigger with the Panthers with an alleged package of their 1st round pick last year and Teddy Bridgewater, but then the Rams came forward with the bigger offer. - There was also the speculation Stafford has a big say on where he ended up. In the interview, Holmes did not answer whether Stafford shut down any possible trade with Carolina. Still, he said Stafford was very cooperative and professional throughout the process. - With the pedigree Stafford held with Detroit and the damaging history with their top players, the top brass would give Stafford a say in where he would end up and make sure he got to go where he believed he could go all the way. - Holmes felt it worked for both sides giving the Rams a potential final piece to take them over the hump for a playoff run, and the Lions receiving draft capital to help “retool” the roster with young talent and a serviceable quarterback who took lumps early in the season but rebounded late in the year. - It’ll be a couple of years before we know who won the Stafford trade, but so far, this looks like one of those win-win trades for both teams. Surely, the Lions would’ve liked to keep Stafford, but this was a team doing one of their top franchise players in history a solid to give a chance, while Detroit looks to turn the corner of league mediocrity. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like

Mock draft watch: PFF provides much-needed defensive help for the Lions / With only three games left in the 2021

Mock draft watch: PFF provides much-needed defensive help for the Lions / With only three games left in the 2021 season, sights have shifted over to the draft, with mock drafts have come in abundance. The latest is from PFF’s Trevor Sikkema, who slotted a couple of stout Big 10 defenders to help beef up the Detroit Lions defense. - The Jacksonville Jaguars hold the distinct honor of the No. 1 selection, the second year in a row. They could go two directions, either grab one of the top edge defenders or provide protection to Trevor Lawerence. Either way, it is a no-lose situation for the Lions. Suppose the Jaguars decide to grab one of the edge defenders, Aidan Hutchinson or Kayvon Thibodeaux. In that case, the Lions will be happy to grab the other, especially with how close talent-wise they are to one another. - Sikkema decided to go with the latter and make Trevor Lawerence a happy man by slotting Alabama offensive tackle Evan Neal, giving the Lions their choice in edge defenders. The Lions really can’t go wrong here, and it’ll come to which one they prefer. In this mock draft, the popular pairing of the Lions and Aidan Hutchinson shows up once again. - “With the Lions happy at offensive tackle, they’ll look to the defensive trenches. This pick will come down to who is higher on their big board, Aidan Hutchinson or Kayvon Thibodeaux. I have a hunch it will be Hutchinson. The Michigan player “staying home” after a stellar season — which included a trip to New York City as a Heisman finalist — feels like the most likely outcome. The 6-foot-6, 265-pound senior racked up 74 pressures and three batted passes across 429 pass-rush snaps in 2021.” - Some individuals have some hesitation on the Lions selecting Hutchinson, especially after his quiet game against Georgia, but I turn to the main man, Jeff Risdon, to alleviate any of those concerns and how you shouldn’t judge a player by one game. - Depending on what the Lions do in free agency, many people will be begging the Lions to grab a receiver in the draft to help Jared Goff, but at this point, wide receiver might not be the biggest hole that is plaguing the Lions. Tracy Walker and Dean Marlowe, probably the Lions top two safeties, are free agents, and Will Harris is best in situational scenarios and not a full-time starter; the Lions are in desperate need of playmakers in the secondary. Sikkema helps take care of that problem with the Penn State safety Jaquan Brisker selection, with the Lions second first-round selection. - “The Lions could opt for a receiver here, but with most of the top receivers off the board, I think they’ll broaden their options, especially with how well Amon-Ra St. Brown played down the stretch. Their secondary needs work, but cornerback isn’t the worst part of it. There’s reason to hold out hope with Jeff Okudah, and Amani

Opinion: Lions would be lucky to be on Hard Knocks in 2022 / Could the Detroit Lions be the NFL team featured on the 2022 edition of “Hard Knocks”? Fans can only hope so. - The Lions are one of three primary contenders to appear on the annual behind-the-scenes show through one team’s training camp and preseason. Along with the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers, the Lions are one of just three teams who meet all the qualifications to be the subject of the popular HBO documentary series. - - RelatedLions don't want 'Hard Knocks' but are prepared to deal with the possibility - I’m very hopeful the Lions are the chosen one. It’s a wonderful opportunity to observe and learn a lot more about the players, the coaches and how the organization goes about its business. Fans should be clamoring to see more of GM Brad Holmes, head coach Dan Campbell, special assistant Chris Spielman and the cadre of former players on Campbell’s staff in action. - Back in 2018, the Cleveland Browns were the subject team. I was there for much of training camp while covering the team for Browns Wire, and I got to see firsthand how beneficial it can be. In Cleveland’s case, it exposed the dysfunction in the organization. Head coach Hue Jackson’s tenuous grasp of control over headstrong defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and irritable offensive coordinator Todd Haley was something the fans needed to see to understand just how bad things really were inside the organization. The transparency provided by the omnipresent cameras and the dramatic editing choices helped lead to a much-needed in-season upheaval. - Lions senior personnel executive John Dorsey was Cleveland’s GM at the time, and the production did not flinch in highlighting his positive and negative moments. It was something the fans, and the broader football media, needed to see. Dorsey would likely object to being on the show again, though he’s no longer in a critical decision-making role. - The cameras and crew are everywhere, but they’re absolutely not a distraction. For those who haven’t been to training camp or an NFL practice, there are already cameras everywhere filming multiple angles of reps. It’s been that way for years. The players and coaches are used to it. It’s like wallpaper. After the second day of camp, I didn’t even notice they were a different camera crew from the regular Browns staffers working on the practice fields. That sentiment was shared by many. - It’s a no-lose situation. If Campbell and his crew are the real deal, as many fans want them to be, Hard Knocks will provide ample evidence of a well-run, competent organization. That would be a refreshing relief for long-suffering Detroit fans. Likewise, if the cameras reveal (like they did in Cleveland) that the staff is swimming in way too deep water, the exposure will help drown the hype. For the fans who think Campbell is a clueless meathead, Hard Knocks would be the proof

Jared Goff's season splits show major improvement once Dan Campbell took over the offense / There is no doubt about

Jared Goff's season splits show major improvement once Dan Campbell took over the offense / There is no doubt about it. Jared Goff’s performance in the first few games of his Detroit Lions career was not exactly inspiring. Goff ranked near the bottom in air yards per attempt and efficiency, and the Lions offense sputtered. - Other than some garbage-time stat padding in the losses to Green Bay and San Francisco, the Lions passing offense was dreadfully ineffective. However, a midseason change in the offensive coaching changed things for both Goff and the Detroit passing game. - When Dan Campbell took over the offense from coordinator Anthony Lynn, Goff’s game expanded. With a rejuvenated passing scheme designed by tight ends coach (and likely new offensive coordinator) Ben Johnson, Goff started to throw the ball down the field more, and more effectively. - The season splits from before and after the change, coinciding with the Lions’ bye in Week 11: - First 8 games: 206-of-308 (66.9%), 6.5 yards per attempt, 8 TD, 6 INT, 85.3 passer rating - Last 5 games: 105-of-156 (67.3%), 7.1 Y/A, 9 TD, 2 INT, 99.1 passer rating - Four of the five post-bye games were among Goff’s six best of the season. A clunker against Denver (24-of-39, 215 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT) dilute the late-season surge. Goff also missed the Week 16 and 17 games with a knee injury and COVID-19. - A look at passing charts from NFL Next Gen Stats reveals the change. First, the distribution chart from the Week 6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals: - - Compare that to the Week 15 win over Minnesota. - - Goff started using more of the field, both vertically and laterally. The tight cluster in the short middle spread out. That’s a direct result of the changes Campbell and Johnson implemented. His eight completions beyond 10 yards down the field in this game match Goff’s total from Weeks 5 through 8. - There are other factors at play, too. Adding wide receiver Josh Reynolds helped, as did the increasing emergence and attention to detail from rookie WR Amon-Ra St. Brown. Losing TE T.J. Hockenson and RB D’Andre Swift —by far the team’s top two targets before the bye week — also changed the focus of the passing game. Better pass protection with rookie Penei Sewell shifting to his more natural right tackle spot and the return of veteran LT Taylor Decker helped, too. - The confluence of the changes produced a viable NFL passing attack and helped lead the Lions to three wins in the final six games after a brutal 0-10-1 start. It also elevated Goff into looking more like a legitimate, quality starting quarterback. - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - -

Mock draft watch: Daniel Jeremiah's 1st projections show a surprise QB in the 1st for the Lions / One of the most popular and well-known NFL draft analysts, NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah, has released his first set of projections for the 2022 NFL draft. Jeremiah’s mock has a predictable choice for the first Detroit Lions pick and a surprising one for the team’s second selection in the first round. - At No. 2 overall, Jeremiah sticks with the conventional wisdom and rolls with Michigan EDGE Aidan Hutchinson. The Jaguars took Alabama OT Evan Neal with the first pick, leaving the Lions to choose between Hutchinson, Notre Dame safety Kyle Hamilton and Oregon EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux. - Jeremiah is very bullish on Hutchinson, - The Lions shouldn’t waste any time turning in the card if the Jags pass on Hutchinson. The Heisman Trophy runner-up is a perfect fit for their needs and the culture they are building. - The second Lions selection, the one acquired from the Los Angeles Rams, goes to Liberty quarterback Malik Willis. It’s an interesting choice. - Willis had the first-round buzz early in the college season, but his performance in a couple of prominent games for Liberty cooled the momentum.

Flashback Friday: The 1-year anniversary of Dan Campbell's epic press conference / One year ago today was one of the most memorable in the recent history of the Detroit Lions. On January 21st, 2021, the Lions introduced Dan Campbell as their new head coach. - In his introductory press conference, Campbell introduced himself to the world with an epic, bombastic, intense, occasionally violent performance that echoed across the sporting world. Campbell launched the “biting kneecaps” memes that still predominate the Lions landscape. - The reactions to the stunning display of emotional intensity and honesty were all over the proverbial map. - Here’s what we wrote in the immediate aftermath, - The Dan Campbell introductory press conference is going to go down in history as one of the most epic coaching intros in NFL history. Campbell offered a passionate 20-minute opening statement, followed by another 45 minutes of wildly enthusiastic answers that often veered far from the questions being asked. - It was not your father’s press conference. It was most certainly not Matt Patricia’s press conference, or really like any we’ve seen before. There were honest tears of emotion. There was casual profanity. There was poignancy. There was very specific Xs and Os breakdowns. There was 100 percent honesty and free-flowing of thought from Campbell, the new Detroit Lions head coach. - One year later, we’ve learned that the first impression of Campbell was largely true. He’s still an emotional, passionate, poignant teacher and leader with an underappreciated sense of Xs and Os that belies the “meathead” appearance. The ability to be Dan Campbell and be comfortable being himself is one of the coach’s best qualities, and it resonated with the players and (most of) the fans. - Here’s a look back at the memorable presser: - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.

Alex Anzalone: Should the Lions bring back the free agent LB? / One of the more interesting free agency decisions

Alex Anzalone: Should the Lions bring back the free agent LB? / One of the more interesting free agency decisions for the Detroit Lions is what they choose to do with linebacker Alex Anzalone. In his one season in Detroit, the off-ball LB had an up-and-down campaign but added value as a leader and a teacher of coordinator Aaron Glenn’s defense and mentality, coming with the DC and head coach Dan Campbell from the New Orleans Saints. - After the Lions parted ways with Jamie Collins following Week 2, Anzalone’s coverage and run defense in space improved. He still struggled in games against teams with good play-action passing games (Cleveland, Denver, Minnesota), but the open-field speed and intensity made him a largely effective off-ball backer in Glenn’s defense. - Could Anzalone return in 2022? - The 27-year-old clearly liked his time in Detroit. In a recent Instagram post, a sincere Anzalone thanked the Lions and his teammates for a fun season, one where he was elected a captain by his new teammates. - “It was a privilege to play for the Lions organization this year. I truly had one of the most fun seasons playing football in my life despite everything. Being chosen as captain by my peers has been an honor that I’ll never forget. As chapter 5 ends, 6 begins…,” Anzalone wrote. - - - - - - - - - - - - - View this post on Instagram - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A post shared by Alex Anzalone (@alexanzalone34) - - - - - He’s an unrestricted free agent who finished the season on the injured reserve list, and rookie Derrick Barnes played decently (outside of two drives in the Week 18 matchup with the Packers) in his absence. Anzalone has battled a lot of injuries going back to his college days at Florida, where he was a running mate of former Lions first-rounder Jarrad Davis. - Anzalone earned $1.75 million for his one-year deal in Detroit in 2021. A similar deal would likely lure him back. The demand for a limited backer with an injury history and his dreadful Pro Football Focus grade (34.1 overall) isn’t apt to be through the roof. - Bringing him back for a similar deal with the understanding that Anzalone is intended to serve as the No. 3 LB in a system that plays two LBs makes a lot of sense for all parties. If he wants more money, or if the Lions see him playing a more integral role, it’s not a good fit. Remember, Jalen Reeves-Maybin is also a free agent and should be a more priority

Lions Twitter reaction to Matthew Stafford winning a playoff game / Matthew Stafford finally won a playoff game. He never accomplished that feat in 12 seasons as the Detroit Lions quarterback, but Stafford helped the Rams easily advance over the crumbling Arizona Cardinals in the final game of the wild-card round. - The reaction from Lions fans, media and former players on Stafford getting the win with the Rams came flowing in quickly. Because the game was a blowout, many of them came in well before the end of the game. - Most of the reactions were positive in nature and happy for the longtime Lions QB. Some former teammates in Detroit even chimed in with congratulations for No. 9. - - I’m so Happy for Stafford!!

Senior Bowl WRs and TEs announced for the Lions-coached team / The Detroit Lions have significant offseason needs at both wide receiver and tight end. They’ll get a long look at several draft candidates at each position while coaching the American team at the 2022 Senior Bowl in February.The Senior Bowl revealed the receiving talent that the Lions will coach in Mobile during the week of practices and the game itself, which takes place on February 5th. It’s a strong mix of intriguing players of varying skill sets at both spots for the American team quarterbacks, who were announced earlier this week.At wide receiver, the Lions will coach a group that features several players generally projected in the middle rounds of the 2022 NFL draft:Calvin Austin, MemphisDontario Drummond, Ole MissDanny Gray, SMUReggie Roberson, SMUVelus Jones, TennesseeTre Turner, Virginia TechJalen Tolbert, South AlabamaThe tight ends will add to the Mustang flavor for Detroit in Mobile with another SMU player:Daniel Bellinger, San Diego StateGrant Calcaterra, SMUGreg Dulcich, UCLAIsaiah Likely, Coastal CarolinaEarly takeawayThe tight ends are all prospects who could step right into the No. 2 TE role in Detroit next to T.J. Hockenson. Bellinger is the most versatile, Likely has the highest ceiling. Calcaterra had some major injury issues earlier but was the best receiver of the group in 2021.At wideout, Austin is an undersized dynamo think a supercharged Kalif Raymond. Gray, Jones and Drummond are all about the same size but offer divergent strengths, with Jones appearing the best initial fit for the current Lions. Tolbert has some outstanding game tape that suggests a brighter NFL future than any other Senior Bowl wideout on either squad. He gets the benefit of playing in his home stadium, too.TIGHT ENDS Roster of TEs for the American team coached by the @Lions – @bellinger_12 @grcalcaterra @Greg_Dulcich @DaGorilla4 #TheDraftStartsInMOBILE pic.twitter.com/zpdXXOkuW3— Reese's Senior Bowl (@seniorbowl) January 15, 2022WIDE RECEIVERS Roster of WRs for the American team coached by the @Lions – @calvinaustiniii @BigJohnDrummond @DGray_5 @VelusJr @TheKingReggie @Jalen8Tolbert @tre11turner #TheDraftStartsInMOBILE pic.twitter.com/jclPDZgZWQ— Reese's Senior Bowl (@seniorbowl) January 14, 2022EmailSign upLike this article?Sign up for the Lions Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morningAn error has occuredPlease re-enter your email address.Thanks for signing up!You'll now receive the top Lions Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
