Since becoming team president, one of Rod Wood’s goals has been to bring a big NFL event to Detroit, whether it be the NFL Draft or the Super Bowl. With Detroit having hosted the Super Bowl in 2006, the NFL Draft always seemed like the more realistic goal.
Wood and Detroit were denied for the 2019 and 2020 drafts and weren’t one of the five finalists to host the event. This year, Nashville hosted the NFL Draft. Next year’s will be in Las Vegas.
However at Wednesday’s “Taste of the Lions” event, Wood announced that they were being considered for the next set of drafts.
