Happy birthday to Lions coach Dan Campbell.
Happy birthday to the head football coach of the Detroit Lions , the one and only—Daniel Allen Campbell. After many trials and tribulations, this city found their football coach in 2021, and alongside general manager Brad Holmes—the duo has transformed the organization in only a few short years.
And while Campbell doesn’t have social media himself, his wife, Holly Campbell, has an Instagram, giving us a glimpse of life with, “Big guy.”
Enjoy your day, Dan. And be sure to charge up for a Super Bowl run in 2025.
And now, onto the rest of today’s notes:
- In case you missed it, our own Meko Scott sat down with Brett Whitefield to discuss all things NFL Draft on the Pride of Detroit Youtube Channel.
- Justin Rogers wrote about how the Lions’ offensive line may be due for a bit of a tune up over at the Detroit Football Network.
- Could the Lions take more than one edge rusher in this year’s NFL Draft? Colton Pouncy of The Athletic certainly thinks so.
- First-team All-Pro things from Lions’ receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.

- Could Lions’ general manager Brad Holmes roll the dice on an injured player? Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press has a few players that could entice Detroit once draft weekend rolls around.
