After a breakout 2024 season, Lions fans should be celebrating the rise and redemption arc of Jameson Williams, not debating his long-term fit.

Hey, here’s an idea: how about we let Jameson Williams play this upcoming season before we start making plans for his future, yeah?

I know. I get it. You’re still not over how he missed the majority of his rookie season with an ACL injury he suffered in the National Championship game that same year. You might still be stuck on how a 23-year-old could make some questionable decisions, like lighting off fireworks or getting suspended for...

Of all 72 Detroit Lions games coached by Dan Campbell, what has been the best one?

It’s still weird to think that we’re living in a golden age of Detroit Lions fandom. Honestly, maybe the true golden age is ahead of us. But for most of us who have spent decades lamenting one of the worst franchises in football, we’re still a little in disbelief about how lucky we are to be witnessing a Detroit Lions era in which records are being broken on a near-weekly basis.

The duo of head coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes has...

Meko and Morgan are back on the Pride of Detroit YouTube channel breaking down Lions’ draft pick Dan Jackson’s film from his final season at the University of Georgia.

Meko and I (Morgan) are back over on the Pride of Detroit YouTube Channel breaking down more tape from the Detroit Lions’ 2025 draft class. Next up, we are breaking down the tape of Lions’ seventh-round draft pick out of the University of Georgia, safety Dan Jackson.

Originally a walk-on, Jackson earned a starting job at safety in 2024 on what was once again a top-tier unit for the Bulldogs....

The playoff-bound Panthers are honoring the UFL-turned-NFL star.

It’s cool to support people chasing their dreams.

That’s one of the takeaways from a fantastic profile on Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates from Tony Paul of The Detroit News. The writer caught up with Bates just ahead of the Michigan Panthers finale at Ford Field on Saturday afternoon, and he had nothing but kind things to say about the UFL.

“I love when people ask me, rising college seniors ask me, about the UFL, is it worth it. Man, I would go back and do that a million times. I can’t...

Frank Ragnow and Alex Anzalone are reportedly looking for new contracts, but Lions coach Dan Campbell isn’t worried.

On Friday, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell revealed that only two of the team’s 90 players were not present for team Organized Team Activities. After cross-checking his list of 21 players limited or not participating in on-field practices with our own attendance taking, it became clear the two players not at Allen Park were center Frank Ragnow and linebacker Alex Anzalone. According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, both Ragnow and Anzalone have “hopes of landing new contracts.”

But Campbell...

The Detroit Lions have two new coordinators, but Dan Campbell laid out why there shouldn’t be too much concern.

A quick way to easily dismiss the potential of the 2025 Detroit Lions is to point out they have two new coordinators for the upcoming season. Both offensive coordinator Ben Johnson and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn left for head coaching jobs—a testament to the kind of coaches Dan Campbell is able to identify and trust.

But is that criticism too quick and easy? It certainly seems dismissive of John Morton and Kelvin Sheppard—two coaches who have gained solid reputations for years...

Observations from the Detroit Lions’ OTA practice on Friday—Day 3.

On Friday, the Detroit Lions welcomed media to Organized Team Activities (OTAs) for the first time this offseason. It was the team’s third practice in a row and last of the week. Practice was split between walkthroughs, positional drills, 11-on-11s, a brief special teams drill, and finished with some 7-on-7 work.

Here are my observations on each position:

Quarterback

Not much to say about Jared Goff’s day. He was without his safety blanket in Amon-Ra St. Brown, so a lot of his targets went to Sam LaPorta.

It wasn’t...

An injury update on the Detroit Lions during Day 3 of OTAs.

The Detroit Lions had several players missing from Friday’s Organized Team Activity—the team’s third session of the week. Prior to practice, coach Dan Campbell said they were being extra cautious with many players this time of year because they don’t need to push it.

“We’re just trying to be smart,” Campbell said. “We’ve got little dings here and there, and so we’re just trying to make sure everybody’s good. So, this is the time of year to make sure that we’re being a little more conservative with those...

The Detroit Lions continue to say they have huge expectations for WR Jameson Williams in 2025.

The Jameson Williams hype train is officially in overdrive.

On Friday, before the Detroit Lions’ third practice of Organized Team Activities, coach Dan Campbell was asked about Williams’ progress and expectations for the 2025 season, and he did not hold back. Here’s the entirety of his answer:

“He’s had a good spring, and it’s another one, I don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves in OTAs, but there’s so much versatility with him. There’s so many things that we can do just...

Will you watch all four of the Lions’ preseason games in 2025?

In most cases, people never complain about extra football. However, preseason football is a unique experience. On one hand, starters typically never see the field these days. Joint practices between teams have essentially replaced the need for that. On the other, it is some of the most intense football there is. Players are out there doing their best to make the final roster, practice squad, or, at the very least—put some good things on tape for the other 31 teams to see.

For the Detroit Lions, their preseason...

The Detroit Lions were begrudgingly conservative on kickoffs in 2024. Here’s why that’s about to change.

Last year, the Detroit Lions kickoff strategy was relatively simple. For most of the season, they decided it was better to boot it into the endzone and give the offense a touchback—setting the ball at the 30-yard line. Detroit posted the sixth-highest rate in touchbacks in the NFL (77.3%).

A lot of teams adopted the same strategy, figuring that the offense starting there was a better tradeoff than risking a long return. So the NFL made a tweak to this rule, moving the touchback...

10 Detroit Lions players we’ll be keeping a close eye on during OTAs.

On Wednesday, the Detroit Lions kicked off the first of their Organized Team Activities that will run through the next two weeks. With it being our first look at the 2025 team together all at once, there are several players I’m eager to see when practices open up to the media later this week.

Here are the 10 players I’m most eager to see out there on the field:

QB Hendon Hooker

The Lions have made it clear this offseason that [Hooker will have to go...
