Big Homie looking for a home with the Lions
Get ready for “Big Homie”. He’s obviously big. He’s strong. He is long and is ready to make a big impact for the Detroit Lions.

Marvin Jones Jr.: The Best Receiver of the 2012 NFL Draft
Detroit Lions wide receivers Marvin Jones Jr. and Amon-Ra St. Brown have something significant in common: both were vastly overlooked coming out of college. While St. Brown publicly wears the massive chip on his shoulder, Jones's 11-year NFL career is his statement. He is the best receiver taken in the 2012 NFL Draft. In fact, he is the only wide receiver from the 2012 draft that is

Foster’s All-Time Detroit interview team
Detroit Lions defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson talks a good game. And he plays a good game. He’s only been in town a few weeks after the Lions signed him as a free agent this off-season.

Defending Jameson Williams: Don’t Worry About Monday’s Practice
If Monday’s training camp display from Detroit Lions' wide receiver Jameson Williams had been a regular season game, criticisms might be justified. The stat line would have shown a few dropped passes, scant yards receiving, and a penalty for instigating a fight with a defending cornerback.

Join me in the world of "what-ifs", teasing a tale that involves the

Detroit Lions Defensive Line Strategy: Develop In-House Talent
Day five of Detroit Lions training camp was the day of the big boys. Friday’s practice marked the first of the offseason where the players got to put the pads on and hit somebody. So, naturally, it was difficult to take my eyes off the defensive line. A peek into the Lions' strategy reveals that they focused on in-house talent development this off-season, rather than making any
