Pretty wild to watch back now. Brad takes Amon Ra and Barnes back to back in 2021, then in the divisional playoffs in 2024 Amon Ra has the TD to put the Lions up 2 scores, and Barnes has the game sealing INT.
Sheila legitimately cares. She didn’t know everything and she made an effort to learn. When was the last time we saw that in The D?

Now you know why they picked WR so many times...Sheila was getting nervous that two rounds went by and nobody picked a TE or WR.
I don’t see Bob Quinn and Matt Patricia ever having a draft with this much communication and excitement. These guys wanted Sewell, did all their homework, and walked away with one of the top prospects of this draft. So far this regime has me frickin pumped. They’re making all the right moves for this rebuild. Edit: I made this comment right after the Sewell pick. But watching this whole draft play out was nothing short of spectacular. These guys want to bring a winner to our city boys and girls

And There’s nothing wrong with Sheila asking questions and wanting answers she owns the team, the problem with “meddling owners” is if she would have said “no we’re not taking McNeil you draft the highest rated wr there cause we needs wrs!” Then it’s a problem. The wr we would of got in the bottom of the 3rd wouldn’t have been that much better than Amon RA and the UDRFA wrs we got as McNeil is better than the NTs further down the line. 👍🏻 Although Quinn got Golladay in that exact same area and he was better than the 1st rounders that year but kindof a outlier I think. 🤷♂️👌😆

There are a few things I took away from this video. When Sewell went outside to celebrate with his family, I noticed that he wanted everyone to celebrate with him. He was literally asking for them to join him. That is not an individual, that's a teammate. That's a leader. Second, Brad Holmes is a very serious individual. He looks like a man on a mission. Even though he got excited, he quickly zeroed back in and knew he wasn't done. He wasn't just happy with Sewell dropping to him. The last thing is Sheila Ford. As a new Lion fan, I hear a lot of people complaining about ownership and not being able to win with the Ford family. If this turns out like we all want, Sheila will need to get a lot of credit for getting the right people.

Those teams are tough to play let alone beat! I love this collective effort their employing its a positivity generator, its bound to uplift instead of tear down.

This has to be one of my new favorite videos ever.. I can’t help but get choked up every time I hear that moment when Brad Holmes calls Penei Sewell 😎 such a powerful moment for him and his family, and you can literally cut the excitement in that Detroit lions war room with a knife 🔥 The Detroit Lions are awakening in their den, and they are going to be an entirely new monster over the next 2-3 seasons. Couldn’t be be more thrilled to see these young guys develop in the fire this year with as many possible reps as they can get. We’re forging a brotherhood and Pride here that’s unlike anything the world has ever seen before. One pride 🔥💙🦁 let’s go lions!
There was so much hype and great accomplishments in that room, I am so ready to get the season started. ONE PRIDE!
Have we ever seen the prospect interview process or footage of the scouts input on potential picks? Don't think so. I love this new staff man.
Love the behind the scene look in!
