‘Nobody’s going to win a job in the spring’: HC Dan Campbell urges patience as Detroit Lions open OTAs:  https://www.clickondetroit.com/sports/2026/05/29/nobodys-going-to-win-a-job-in-the-spring-hc-dan-campbell-urges-patience-as-detroit-lions-open-otas/

Ranking the most valuable non-first-round NFL Draft picks since 2016 (8. WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions - Pick 113 in 2021.  Since St. Brown was a fourth-round pick by the Lions five years ago, all he’s done is hit the ground running. Throughout his career, St. Brown trails only Nacua in PFF receiving grade (93.5), and his 358 first downs lead the league. It’s no surprise that the USC alum is also second in WAR behind just Ja’Marr Chase.  St. Brown is indubitably one of the faces’ behind the Lions’ dramatic turnaround over the last half-decade. The three-time All-Pro looks like he has no intentions of slowing down given the tear he’s on, continuing to repeatedly make teams regret passing him.):  https://www.pff.com/news/ranking-the-most-valuable-non-first-round-nfl-draft-picks-since-2016

Eight NFL Draft Rookies Already Changing Expectations at OTAs (Blake Miller, OT, Detroit Lions - After enduring a down year that failed to meet expectations, the Detroit Lions need to get back to playing big-boy bully football. First-round pick Blake Miller should help new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing do that. Miller was the most pro-ready offensive tackle in the NFL Draft, having made 54 career starts for Clemson at right tackle. He'll immediately play that position for the Lions and create rushing lanes for Jahmyr Gibbs and Isiah Pacheco in a new-look backfield tandem.):  https://www.si.com/nfl/draft/onsi/news/eight-nfl-draft-rookies-already-changing-expectations-at-otas


1 Breakout Candidate for All 32 NFL Teams: Omarion Hampton, Jaxson Dart Among Top Possibilities (Detroit Lions: Christian Mahogany, G - Originally seen as a sixth-round steal in 2024, Christian Mahogany broke into the Detroit Lions’ starting lineup last year as Kevin Zeitler departed in free agency. Those were admittedly very big shoes to fill. As a full-time starter, though, Mahogany fared surprisingly well, ranking No. 23 in the NFL in PFSN OL Impact Scoring. They should have better center play with Cade Mays in the fold, and having Penei Sewell next to him at left tackle should make Mahogany’s job a long easier along the Lions’ interior.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-breakout-candidates-all-32-teams/

Penei Sewell’s move to the blind side will be easy for the versatile Lions star, Dan Campbell says:  https://apnews.com/article/lions-penei-sewell-f9662ca868c23ad69519889e17f22004
