In year three of the general manager Brad Holmes and coach Dan Campbell’s regime, the Detroit Lions proved they had built themselves into a true Super Bowl contender. Entering year four, confidence remains high, as the team continues to add depth to the roster and address team weaknesses.
Their rapid ascension is largely credited with Holmes and Campbell’s aggressiveness, both on the playing field and in the draft. Holmes has attacked each draft with his own unique flair and it’s resulted in tremendous success. Not only has Holmes retained 28 of his 29 draft picks—including the 2024 class—but he has also drafted five Pro Bowlers and three All Pros.
