Lions president Rod Wood jabs Packers with Green Bay set to host 2025 NFL Draft

Rod Wood was feeling spicy Monday.

Wood, the Detroit Lions president, took a jab at the divisional rival Green Bay Packers while speaking at the annual NFL draft luncheon hosted at the Detroit Economic Club.

Green Bay is set to host the 2025 NFL Draft this week, one year after the event was a smashing success in Detroit.

"Trying to get the NFL to consider bringing it back (to Detroit) because I don't think they'll ever top it," Wood said. "There's no way Green Bay will come close. They'll finish second or as I said to Brad (Holmes), they'll finish third like they did last year," eliciting laughs and claps from the crowd.
