Detroit Jock City

● By Bob Heyrman
It’s officially NFL Mock Draft season. The Detroit Lions are about to close out a roller-coaster first season under a new management regime and coaching staff. Still, for as low as the lows were in 2021, we’ve seen plenty of progress from head coach Dan Campbell and defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. The one thing that is severely lacking in overall talent. It’s difficult to win in the NFL when you have talent; when you don’t, it’s nearly impossible. When you look up and down the Detroit Lions’ depth chart, it’s a miracle that Campbell has guided this team to a pair of wins and a tie. That record doesn’t even reflect their late-game collapses against Baltimore, Minnesota, and Cleveland.
