Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes, like coach Dan Campbell, has had a grounds swelling of support since he landed in Detroit. Though his approval rating dropped just below 80 percent during the lowest point in the team’s 2021 season, it rebounded in a huge way as the Lions made a late-season surge.
The emergence of Amon-Ra St. Brown, impressive play of Penei Sewell, and contributions from undrafted rookies like Jerry Jacobs, AJ Parker, and Brock Wright made Holmes look every bit as advertised as the personnel scouter he was in Los Angeles.
Lions fans were even more hyped after the 2022 NFL Draft, where Holmes showed his first sign as an aggressive general manager.
