Detroit Lions received texts from NFL teams praising selection of LB Derrick Barnes

The Detroit Lions held a virtual meeting with season ticket holders on Tuesday night, where general manager Brad Holmes and members of the organization's front office discussed the players acquired in the 2021 NFL draft. Invitations were limited to this special event, but Justin Rogers was given access and he provided some insights in an article available to Detroit News’ subscribers.

There were quite a few interesting tidbits on all the newest Lions. Several we had previously heard before—like inquiring about trading up for Penei Sewell and Levi Onwuzurike—but Rogers’ section on fourth-round linebacker Derrick Barnes had some cool new nuggets of information.
