A few weeks ago, the folks over at The Athletic announced a bit of a shakeup with their Detroit Lions coverage. Chris Burke, an excellent local reporter who had been covering the team since 2017, was stepping down to take an editor role with The Athletic’s insane NFL Draft coverage team. That left a pretty huge vacancy in Lions coverage, but The Athletic filled that hole with former Michigan State beat reporter Colton Pouncy.
While I’m sure many of you are familiar with Pouncy due to his Spartan coverage, we wanted to get to know him on a deeper level.
