With Detroit Lions players less than two weeks away from reporting to training camp, it’s the last opportunities for players to post their workouts.

Detroit Lions’ Jack Campbell breaks into NFL top-10 LB list for 1st time
Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell may have earned first-team All-Pro honors last season, but he still has some work to do in order to convince the people inside the NFL that he’s the best linebacker in football. ESPN continued its ongoing positional ranking series—which is compiled via a survey of NFL executives, coaches, and scouts—on […]

Discussion: What is the Detroit Lions’ worst contract of the Brad Holmes era?
Last week, we explored some of the best deals that Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes has executed in his nearly six years with the Lions. He deserves a ton of credit for his measured, strategic approach. But like any general manager in the NFL, he hasn’t been perfect. Whether it be free agency or […]
Lions News: Jared Goff to host NFL Draft-like ceremony to honor students
The NFL Draft is not just an opportunity for teams to get better every year. It’s a celebration of college kids realizing their dreams. Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is helping young students have a similar experience, as they take the next step in their educational journey. On Sunday, July 26, Goff will be a […]
Ranking the NFC North TEs, OL, and DL for the 2026 season
On Sunday, our NFC North podcast preview series continued. In last week’s episode, we ranked the divisions’ quarterback, running back, and wide receiver rooms. This week, it’s the tight ends, offensive line, and defensive line. In my opinion, these were some great conversations, and they led to some good insight and debate on the status […]

NFL execs, coaches agree that Jared Goff is best QB in NFC North
Last week, our PODcast crew debated the best quarterback, wide receiver, and running back rooms in the NFC North. Some of those discussions were straightforward. Some were not. The discussion around the division quarterbacks was interesting, but we all agreed that Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was the best of the North right now. It […]
Discussion: Which Lions player could be a surprise cut?
Last week, I wrote about Detroit Lions players who could fly under the radar and earn a roster spot. This week, let us look at the reverse: players entering training camp with a ticket on the 53-man roster that could get revoked. Sometimes, an acquisition fails to gel with their new team. Sometimes, a returning […]
Discussion: Which Detroit Lions player would you like to grab dinner with?
Our relationship with professional athletes is always at a distance. But what if it wasn’t? The Detroit Lions have a ton of charismatic players throughout their locker room, and I’m sure that, on more than one occasion, you’ve wondered (or dreamed) about hanging out with them outside the realm of football. So for today’s Question […]
Penei Sewell listed as best OT in NFL by execs, coaches
In the ongoing series where ESPN polls executives, coaches, and scouts from around the NFL in order to rank the top-10 players at a given position, the Detroit Lions are certainly getting their share of respect.

Discussion: What is the best Detroit Lions contract of the Brad Holmes era?
The Detroit Lions have entered a window where every mistake will be magnified. With the salary cap tightening and draft capital no longer in the top 10 in each round, general manager Brad Holmes must walk a tightrope. One big mistake, and it can come crashing down in a hurry. But the best way to […]
Former Lions CB Terrion Arnold draws interest from 4 NFL teams, per agent
The Detroit Lions released Terrion Arnold following his February arrest in connection with a kidnapping and armed robbery. While he cleared waivers last week, he is still reportedly drawing interest from multiple NFL teams, according to his agent. On Friday, Arnold was back in a Florida courtroom for a follow-up session requested by the prosecution. At […]

In ESPN’s most recent release of their top-10 players at each position, as voted on by executives, coaches and scouts around the league, LaPorta checked in at No. 4 among his contemporaries. […]
Which Lions player would be the best at soccer?
With the ongoing FIFA World Cup taking place here in the U.S, there have been plenty of conversations surrounding our top athletes and the sports they choose to play. Especially now that the United States Men’s team has been eliminated. To begin, I want to state that I have no real knowledge of soccer. Although […]
Lions News: 2 Lions rank in top-10 players 25 or younger, 2 snubbed
The key for the Detroit Lions to keep their window open will be to continually pair their expensive core players with young, cheap talent on rookie contracts. While the 2024 Lions draft class is looking like a swing and a miss from general manager Brad Holmes, it’s certainly worth pointing out some of the serious […]
Ranking every player on the Detroit Lions’ 2026 roster: The Roster Bubble, pt. 2
Earlier in the week, we continued our rankings of the 2026 Detroit Lions roster and got to what I believe is the first part of the roster bubble. The Lions’ roster is deeper than most teams’, so even those players we ranked between 61-70 could make the 53-man roster. Even if they don’t, many are […]

The Detroit Lions have been well represented thus far in ESPN’s ongoing series of the best players at each position in the NFL.

Video: Breaking down Detroit Lions’ options at cornerback
Since the news broke surrounding former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold, many fans began to wonder how the team would address the loss. Prior to that situation completely unfolding, Lions general manager Brad Holmes and the rest of his staff spent plenty of resources addressing the overall depth of the secondary. Still, losing Arnold, who […]
Discussion: What is the Detroit Lions’ thinnest position group?
A few weeks ago, we discussed the positions on the Detroit Lions’ 2026 roster with the best depth. Now it’s time to discuss the other side of the coin. If a team has thin depth at a specific position, they better hope it never gets exposed. Because if the injury bug hits just the right […]
Ranking every player on the Detroit Lions’ 2026 roster: The Roster Bubble, pt. 1
As we creep up in our 2026 Detroit Lions roster ranking, we’re starting to reveal players who will undoubtedly play a part in writing the story of this year’s squad.

Lions News: Former Lion makes bold prediction about new player

Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson climbing the ranks, per NFL coaches, execs
On Wednesday, ESPN continued their position rankings series, based on the opinions of current NFL coaches, executives, and scouts. The latest position rankings revealed the top-10 edge rushers for 2026, which means it’s time to talk about how the league views Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson. Last year, there was some understandable skepticism going […]

Throughout the offseason, SB Nation will host surveys for NFL fans, sponsored by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook. For Pride of Detroit, we are tasked with fielding questions from Detroit Lions fans, and this week’s question focuses on an important aspect of the Lions’ defense: pass rush.
