Former GM John Dorsey reportedly joining Lions front office

A day after the Detroit Lions added some key experience to their coaching staff, agreeing to make Anthony Lynn offensive coordinator, new general manager Brad Holmes is reportedly bringing in an accomplished voice to lean on in the front office.

According to an NFL Network report, the Lions will be hiring former Chiefs and Browns general manager John Dorsey as a senior personnel executive.

Dorsey brings an extensive resume that should help offset some of Holmes' relative inexperience as a first-time general manager.

A former linebacker for the Green Bay Packers in the 1980s, Dorsey transitioned into a scouting role for the team after his playing days.
