We have the best GM in the league!
@Prince Yasher you are one hundred percent correct!!
@NOT A LIONS FAN, BUT THOSE PISTONS – CHAMP READY! just bookmarking so I can come back when you are proven wrong.
Stop IT let’s wait till we see the baby it’s no way anybody can say Brad is the best GM at this moment
@Goback Djokovic Greatest Liar of All Time Holmes also said that Matthew Stafford was our guy last season before trading him for Goff and picks 😂
I’d say we are top 5 in 3 of the 4 major sports with Yzerman and Weaver
DJ was a great pick up. im looking forward to the draft, hopefully defense is what we do but i do trust brad and coach to do what’s best for the team. #onePRIDE
And if we add a wr like George Pickens at 32 or 34 our wr room is looking pretty damn legit.
@BEN DIESEL Love that kid. Kinda underrated. I think Pickens should be a top 5 wr pick.
@Crew Dog dude me too, he was legit the number 1 ranked wr in college before his injury and now he’s going a little under the radar. If we either take him at 32 or 34 I think we steal him and get the wr1 that we really need.
@BEN DIESEL His body control and ability to go for contested balls is beast. I just hope people stop talking about him and my favorite lb Leo Chenal or they will both be gone.
I like his mindset.
Great Hire.
Sure like brad after all the Gm’s we have had!!! Love hearing from him!!!
Growing up in MI, you’re obviously born a Lions fan unless your family is from out of state. From there, no matter when you were born, it was always a matter of how much pain you could take of the Lions ALWAYS being bad. Was it the players fault? Maybe sometimes but I feel the old heads of the Lions were the real issue.
Now that I’m in my 20s & after seeing last year after not following the NFL for many years when I saw the Lions ACTUALLY having a good Owner, GM, & HC + being full of young players I was on board because this is a actual rebuild. Since then I’ve jumped deep into the team, coaches, & the organization watching countless videos. This is a different Lions organization. I firmly believe we will be successful in the near future & that makes me happy to see this from the first year. It’s a great time to be a Lions fan. #DetroitVsEverybody
Glad to have you back in the fandom with us! It might not be pretty all the time but you knew that. #onepride
@Reginald Haha Exactly, but this time I’m gonna enjoy the ride.
ALL FACTS! This is the best gm, owner, front office, and coaching staff we’ve ever had and we are finally rebuilding the team the right way. So pumped to watch them on hard knocks!
This is going to be good! Perfect series of events to solidify a culture, a perfect storm.

This is the biggest difference between this regime and the Quinntricia era. They’re willing to change the scheme to fit the players they have
Facts! Quintricia were stubborn and shipped out all our good defensive players because they didn’t fit the scheme and didn’t like how Patricia was disrespecting them. Man those morons set our franchise back like 8 years.
You know how I can tell Brad Holmes is a legit GM? It’s the bags under the eyes, shows his been working late.
100
lol those bags were so much worse during the draft last year lol. It looked like he hadn’t slept in weeks. Love Brad Holmes MCDC and his coaching staff and where our franchise is heading.
Both Brad and Dan, are the right men for the job, they will turn this around.
@Todd St. George : Yeah, for sure I like them both and really want them to succeed. That last HC the Lions had was an a-hole.
Smooooooth. Didn’t give a damn thing away and has my trust to get the job done.
Exactly, that’s how I like it. I can tell that Brad, Dan, and his scouts have been doing thier homework behind closed doors to get ready for the draft.he didn’t give nothing away at all. I am impressed
By far the best GM in my 62 years as a Lions fan. 🍸 cheers to you
KING OF THE NORTH !
Amen,a end to the mediocracy of ownership since 1962.
My grandfather said that too
Take a drink of beer every time Holmes says “you know” most people will be drunk in 5 mins. He’s still my guy though, you know? Lol
For the first time ever, we actually have a GM us lions fans can believe in
Brad “you know” Holmes is my GM. Building a healthy team 💙🤍
Looking forward to Brad’s reaction on draft night! 😀
The 1st time ever THE GM has been working as a unit with the entire staff. The open communication with them all has been 🔥 THEY’VE PLACES A PROFESSIONAL TEAM TOGETHER & You can feel everybody energy. The method the teams staff is moving with is calculation. WE HERE NOW ! Grit & Grind W/ Bit of Swag 🦁 #OnePride
Where did Shiela find Brad? Brad is so unique. He is patient with people, yet articulate in his answers to questions as he connects with people. He radiates leadership with a strong hand while wearing a velvet glove. I trust him 100%. 71 years old and waiting to win the division, and to be in and win a Super Bowl. Grateful for the strong leadership Shiela has brought to Detroit Lions with Brad and MCDC.
They had their intial list for gm canidates and he wasn’t even on the list. The league has a database where people who want to become a gm or coach can submit a video so other teams can find different talent. Mike Disner their cap guy checked the database and sounds like took it straight to Sheila where he was pretty much like “you gotta see this guy” and boom rest is history.
@Rj Boprie Thanks! One of the few times in my life where it appears things went in the best direction for Lions organization. I am expecting the positive ripples to continue.
This dude seems so much more comfortable in front of the camera this year, last year he seemed very nervous anytime he talked to the media.
Brad Holmes seems to have been a very solid hire, glad he came to Detroit.
I appreciate the transparency within Football Operations. Top down, great job from all. Looking forward to seeing the growth and success of #onepride!
First time in my life that we’ve had a front office and coaching staff that is doing it the right way
