Thomas Dimitroff's first full-time job in the NFL was with the Detroit Lions. After getting fired as Atlanta Falcons general manager earlier this fall, Dimitroff's spin around the league could come full circle.
The Lions are planning to interview Dimitroff next week, NFL Network reported Thursday.
Dimitroff spent 13 seasons as Falcons GM before he was fired, along with head coach Dan Quinn, in October. He took quarterback Matt Ryan with his first ever draft pick in 2008, and built the Falcons into a Super Bowl team.
