The next installment in our training camp preview series looks at the Lions’ wide receivers room.
With Detroit Lions 2025 training camp just a few weeks away, we have restarted our annual roster preview series. If you’re not familiar with this series, we guide you position-by-position through the roster, examining the starting, reserve, and specialty roles, which players are competing for which jobs, and project how the Lions will approach each situation.
In this installment, we examine the Lions’ wide receivers room, speculate on current and future roles, and discuss how many players from this group could make the 53-man...
Is Penei Sewell already the best offensive tackle in Detroit Lions history?
Earlier this week, we pondered where Amon-Ra St. Brown ranks among all-time Detroit Lions receivers. Now it’s time to talk about his 2021 NFL Draft classmate—and the first pick in the Brad Holmes era—Penei Sewell.
In just four years, Sewell has established himself as one of the best Lions on the roster—and a solid argument could be made for the top spot on the 2025 squad. It’s hard to quantify the value of an elite offensive tackle, but three Pro Bowls and a two All-Pro awards are a...
The results of our latest SB Nation Reacts survey are in, and as expected, the voting wasn’t close.
Earlier this week, we published our latest SB Nation Reacts surveys, asking Detroit Lions fans if they believe quarterback Jared Goff will exceed his projected 2025 passing totals, utilizing the betting lines established by the folks over at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Despite recording at least 4,438 passing yards and 29 passing touchdowns in each of the last three seasons—including 4,629 passing yards and 37 passing touchdowns in 2024—the betting lines for Goff in 2025 were significantly lower: 3,875.5 passing yards and **27.5 passing...
For the second straight year, Lions TE Sam LaPorta has been voted as a top-100 player according to his peers.
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta has cracked the NFL Top 100 list for the second straight season.
For the uninitiated, every year since 2021, the NFL has dropped a list of the top-100 players in the league, as voted by the players during the previous season. This year, the NFL is really milking the list, dropping just two names per day. The list kicked off this week, and LaPorta officially came in at 94 overall.
The good part of...
The Detroit Lions are set at running back in the present. But in the near future, three burning questions await.
Right now, there isn’t a position more set on the Detroit Lions roster than running back. David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs will share the load as the two primary starters. The Lions also have reliable depth in veteran Craig Reynolds and second-year player Sione Vaki. With Montgomery under contract through 2027 and Gibbs with a fifth-year option to keep him locked up for the same duration, Detroit doesn’t really need to start thinking about their backfield for a couple years....
In the new Madden video game, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell earned one of the three coaching archetypes.
It wasn’t all that long ago that the Madden video game franchise didn’t even have an accurate depiction of Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell—leaving us with a figure we dubbed “Don Crimble.”
Now, it appears EA Sports is overcompensating for the missed time.
On Wednesday, they released the latest trailer for Madden NFL 26—focusing on Franchise Mode, and they promise “the most meaningful update in over a decade.”
One of those updates is a new customization of your head coach in Franchise...
The growth of Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold could transform the entire defensive outlook for the team.
Just over a year ago, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes made the aggressive move to jump five spots in the first round to grab cornerback Terrion Arnold. With a huge run of offensive players early in the draft, Holmes believed they were getting tremendous value in Arnold that late in the first round—setting up pretty high expectations for the former Crimson Tide defender.
Arnold’s rookie season had its ups and downs, but he enters his second season with a load of expectation....
Out of all of the Detroit Lions contracts on the book, which is the absolute best?
Teams are made or broken by the deals they make. Signings, re-signings, trades, extensions, these are all choices that impact the state of an NFL team in the present and future. One bad move can set you back for years, another can signify the dawn of a new era.
The Detroit Lions are currently in the latter category, with the team under general manager Brad Holmes having made far more savvy roster decisions than regrettable ones. Part of that comes from good drafting, but...
WNBA player Sophie Cunningham questioned her league’s expansion to Detroit. Lions offensive tackle Dan Skipper had a response for her.
This week, it was announced that the WNBA is coming back to Detroit. Thanks to a campaign that included efforts and investments from Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff and team owner Sheila Hamp, the Detroit Shock will return to the league in 2029.
But not everyone is happy about that news. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham expressed some skepticism over the cities chosen for expansion, which include Cleveland (2028) and Philadelphia (2030). Her argument is that there were better choices,...
The next installment in our training camp preview series looks at the Lions’ running backs room.
With Detroit Lions 2025 training camp on the horizon, we are bringing back our roster preview series to help prepare you for the fun ahead. If you’re not familiar with this series, we guide you position-by-position through the roster, examining the starting, reserve, and specialty roles, which players are competing for which jobs, and project how the Lions will approach each situation.
So far in this series, we have already covered the quarterback position. In this installment, we will examine the Lions' running backs...
Colby Sorsdal, the Detroit Lions’ 2023 fifth-round pick, is entering a make-or-break training camp.
Entering his third year with the Detroit Lions, versatile offensive lineman Colby Sorsdal is facing a make-or-break situation.
Sorsdal is somewhat of a development project for the Lions. The team selected the former member of the William & Mary Tribe in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft and expected him to mold into a key depth piece for the offensive line.
Previous previews: QB Jared Goff, RB Sione Vaki, RB Jahmyr Gibbs, WR Jameson Williams, WR Kalif Raymond, TE Sam LaPorta, OT Giovanni Manu,...
Predicting who, besides Kerby Joseph, will be named to their first Pro Bowl Team this season
I get it. Pro Bowl recognition isn’t what it used to be. The format has changed, alternates abound, and some players would rather skip it entirely. But Pro Bowl nods still carry real weight in a player’s career narrative, and in discussions surrounding title contenders like the Detroit Lions.
Detroit has resoundingly become one of the most talented rosters in football. With strong fan voting support and consistent team success, the Lions have averaged nearly seven Pro Bowl selections per season over the last...
