I just discovered this series and I'm in session 3 now. It is a really good series. So cool to see how the Sheila and the front office built this team and established the culture. I think that has to be the key reason the Lions are playing well now.

Just did! End of the season...bigger goose bumps!

Second time so far lol... it's only been a week and a haft

REWATCHING AFTER WINS WILD CARD GAME!!!! PROUD THE LIONS 🦁

Same​@@muhammadrafliramadhan5991

dude is a quitter and crybaby who had no passion for the game or for winnings. Rather he stay away from the team. Don't need guys like him around. No way Holmes or coach Campbell would have taken a player like him with zero passion for the game.

You people who believe this regime has been transformed by this staff are laughable. You are so desperate to praise these clowns you’ll make up stories just to do such. Quinn and Co had nothing to do with whether Calvin got his money or not. That decision went all the way to the Fords. Did they sell the team? CJ came back because some one realized how bad it looked after a second hall of Famer bailed on the team and everybody roasted them for it. That’s it. I find this type of comment humorous in that all everybody cares about is winning. Not the feelings of players. Quinn & co won for 2 seasons consecutively after Johnson retired and there wasn’t a word about it. Suddenly Patricia takes over and not patching things up with him was just more incompetence. Make your mind up.

@@thomaswatkins3686you’re super fun at parties eh bud

​@@prisonmike8214he's bitter cause Aaron Rogers left green bay that's obvious... Or he's a vikings or bears fan! EVERYTHING he wrote was absolutely wrong!!

What A Draft A+++ I really like Greene WR out of NC It’s such a Beautiful Thing having Brad Holmes Him & MCDC are so Well together

😂😂😂

Always humble

Hostile work environment. Should seek legal advice. 😎

Seeing MCDC trying to hide the discomfort he was in was hilarious... "No mahn, I'm OK mahn... damn that hurt mahn" 😂

The amount these guys hugged and padded each other throughout was amazing 😂

Elbowed him in the nuts! Rib thigh area my a$$. That was a nut shot for sure

I loled

I love that about Him Stood out immediately Yr 1 Draft True Leader

Agreed ! It starts at the top , and it’s starting to show throughout the team and into the fans , this season will be very special .

Hell. He let one dude do one of the trades.

That was pretty awesome. I mean, he was obviously talking about elite athletes and not the Lions organization 😂 but yea that was great!

Alpha. Plain and simple.

@@bobby_Dthose are synonymous now, they beat the Super Bowl champs

Yep, she comes across as so likeable, I love when she was joking with Green when he hung up early "we know you are fast so we thought you ran away from us." lol Seems like she really cares about the players and the team without being too overbearing, maybe it happens behind the scenes(I personally doubt it) but from what we see she seems to want to be involved but at the same time leave all the transactions to Brad and the professionals. Unlike some other owners you hear rumors about that basically force the GMs hands by telling them to pick or go after players they want.

noticed that too. Im not sure on what level shes processing everything that's happening in real-time and why compared to Brad and DC (although I wouldn't expect her to, that's why they're working the positions they're in after all), but Im ecstatic that she is determined to be engaged and informed throughout the entirety of the process. The fact that she appears to genuinely care is indeed refreshing and very promising for our continuing upward trend.

That sort of thing can be a double-edged sword. Ask anyone in Dallas how great it is that their owner is so excited to be a part of everything.

@@thomasknapp6434i definitely wouldn’t say she’s been a Jerry Jones type of involved. She seems to have a found a sweet spot where she’s aware of what’s happening and why but doesn’t tell the people she hired how to do their jobs. She’s been pretty good so far imo

She's just excited everyone else is excited ha ha

Fr man, never seen free agents wanna come, we cant squander this opportunity

Absolutely, before at best we had hope, this definitely feels more real and definite! 💪 can’t wait to see this team come together on the field!!

Exactly!!!

When you have both Calvin and Barry come to meet your draft picks and notice the change...that's a great feeling

pack fan here, they got 4 clear starters. who cares overdraft some or not. get ur guys. gibbs wont be here in the 20s. laporta and branch (even more branch) are steals at that spot. however they could have got campbell in the 2nd. in the now nfl inside lbs dont go in the 1st. but hey thats the only one that i questioned. but they got my no.2 rb, te, and nickel, without mentioning hendon hooker who was my 3rd qb.. hooker is a 1st round guy, even tho he is older and got a ACL. anyhow, i call that a successful draft...

and Sheila

They clearly have a great chemistry, respect, and admiration for each other. It's great to see it up close like this.

"Thank you Mr. Holmes." Love that

Dressed properly for the first day at work, too. His humility and enthusiasm is really moving. I hope he has all the success in the world.

he wouldve kept standing there holding the door if someone hadnt told him to get on inside already. kid comes off as a humble, hard working guy and im here for it.

100% he would do wonders on our coaching staff

Let’s go!!!!!!!🤙

LFGGGGGGG THIS IS THE YEAR WE WIN THE NORTH

across the pond Lions! I FUCKING LOVE TO SEE IT!

You scream Detroit vs everybody out there bro!!!!

Best comment so far LFG!!!!

outstanding

Amazing, we need more! :)

Organization is elite from top to bottom.

It really is incredible. It was bad at the end of Stafford. I thought it would be miserable for a long time after his trade and the turn around has been immediate its truly impressive.

ME TOO !

Bills fan and I’m legit happy for y’all. I know the pain of terrible leadership and y’all have a great front office and a plan. Nothing better!

We still haven’t done anything though

@@KayleEnds True. Just thought to even get to the point off playoff relevance would have taken longer. Building depth with solid starters at multiple positions in two yeas is impressive. That's all we're saying.

ANd now on to the NFC game! Congrats, Lions, and special accolade to Brad Holmes. LaPorta AND Gibbs ? Really ?

Let's enjoy it 🎉 we can dream

ONE FUCKING PRIDE!!!

Chugging it over here!!! 😂

🦁ONE🦁PRIDE🦁

Same bro LFG 🔥🔥❤️😔❤️🔥❤️🔥

I caught that too! We got really great people for all the picks!!! And they all have their own fire they will bring and add to the team!!!

I noticed that right away! Love it

Yep the first thing I noticed about gentleman Jack:)

100% agree!!!

Offense rookie of the year. 💯

@@Eastsidetone313 As much as I love Sam and he's in the convo FOR SURE. As we all know if there's a decent QB it usually goes to them and, can you really not give it to CJ Stroud? Pains me to say as a MI fan but man, that kid has been incredible the Texans were a damn joke of an org this time last year and he goes and gets a win vs a very experienced Joe Flacco and good defense Browns team. He has to be ROTY imo.

LaPorta has been lights out this year man. Gibbs has been doing alright this year, I think he can be so much better with a bit more experience. Branch has showed some flashes. This has been a rather successful draft class. To have this much success with first year players says a lot about Brad Holmes, Dan Campbell, and the rest of the staff. I do still have some question about AG. I feel like that D can play at a much higher level. Definitely needs some defensive players in this year’s draft.

@@firewalker1372 Can't agree more on the defensive picks in 24. Or free agency. Some players are now gonna want to play in Detroit now. This staff has been amazing. Some of the analyst's are definitely rethinking this draft. Grit and determination will win with this staff. Can't wait to see Hooker out on the field, this guys got every intangible. Don't get me wrong, Goff has been our man!

​​@danwesterhouse6627 Jordan Love got to sit behind ARod. It's the same kind of nice fit for Hendon. It's a bonus that the Sun god Amon Ra got to call his name. To darn funny...

Then Calvin hyping up the FO and leadership?! What is going on here?!

That is why he is THE GREATEST RB ever imo

And how cool is it to ride in to the facility, on your first day in the NFL, with a Hall of Famer?!?! So cool

not a Lions fan, but I've been watching NFL since Matt Millen was with Detroit. Has an amazing history as a player, was a good commentator, but his period as president was really really bad. Y'all ate the bread made by the devil for all those years. Basically made the two best players y'all had retire earlier due to complete ineptitude of the franchise. A home playoff game was something of dreams, now Detroit had two playoff games of outstanding atmosphere, with the expectation of many more.

You’re telling me!

Yeah I would put our media team up against anybody in NFL😊

btw, we have a detailed season preview for you to watch after this piece of cinema :)

I felt this with all my heart

Loved y’all’s Detroit Lions Season Preview Vid!! Gonna be a good one this season 😎

I think I’m peaking as a lions fan and we haven’t even done anything

Gibbs is gonna go CRAZY

anyone that follows football know that the Lions had the best draft night of 'em all

As a Diehard Giants fan I gotta keep it objective and fully agree. The excitement and cohesion is palpable every video I see. Since Holmes been there I think he’s hit on 90% plus of those picks. Largely the reason they got a shot at the chip this year, mixed with Cambell and co ofcourse.

For once our team seems in touch with the culture but also showing us what real positive growth looks like for the squad looks like moving forward

Sheila actually cares it seems. Something the lions have been missing for years.

ew

YES!! This is the way. Get who you WANT.

*Everrrrrr

Building a culture sounds nice, but you still have to pick the best players on the board. Look what happens when team's draft based upon 'cultural fits'. IT NEVER WORKS! Seattle started getting cute with their draft picks a little while back, and ask them how that turned out for them. Picking on 'culture' got the Eagles Reagor instead of Jefferson, and Whiteside instead of DK metcalf.

@@TedTeddy-ej3dp yes but for every example you can come up with about picking culture players not working out theres 10 example of the ‘best’ players not working out

@@mattverville9227 Okay? There's always players that don't work out, that's how drafting works, your point?

Lol yeah I saw that, Brad had to notch it down a bit and just gave her a nice lil hug. My guy is YOLKED

Him being the only guy to stay in the draft room for day 2. He was destined to come to our Lions! 🎉

@@TheGamingChefOG Absolutely! This fan base deserves a player like him and he deserves fans like us!

That photo stood out to me as well. I love that he stayed to walk across the stage and gave fans that moment. He seems to me like the kind of guy who is going to take other teams sleeping on him personally and play harder with that shoulder chip. Definitely possesses the talent.

​@@rapz85I feel like he has that mentality that St. Brown had when he was drafted, how St. called the draft night shit cause he thought he should've gone earlier and was going to do anything and everything to prove the other 31 teams wrong for not picking him. See the same in Branch, even if he doesn't show it as much

Saw that, too. Pointed it out to my wife. And that ride with Spielman, damn talk about symbolism. Pass that torch.

Finally the guy took the door from him and was like hell no what are you doing you go in... Just shows he's a good human being. Loved how he kept saying how excited he was!

Not to mention every time he met someone new it was a handshake with eye contact. That's how it's done.

Noticed that immediately too, shows a lot of character. Loved how somebody finally held the door for him like "We got the doors, you get in there and hit somebody"

He landed in the right spot man. One of the things people have overlooked lately about the lions is the way they support their guys when injuries happen. They’re building the team in a way that they don’t“need” any individual player but work to get the best guys ready and on the field.

I’m super excited we got Moseley I really hope he stays healthy all year and we sign him to a long term deal. See you guys in the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!

So as a 49ers fan I know you can see the change knowing how for years we have struggled to get it right. Glad it's noticable and others are starting to see it. FINALLY

See you in the Playoffs Big Fella

I was sad to see him start on the PUP. Everyone is calling Sutton our best corner, but it's Eman.

One thing nobody says is how Barry shakes everyone's hand and humbly says "hi, I'm Barry" as if ANY of them didn't already know EXACTLY who he is lol

I WOULD of been like a kid in the candy store.

@@silversagerae6353 I was wondering if any of them didn’t know him. “I’m Barry, just Calvin’s buddy.” Dude’s always been so humble.

You would never see that in a place like Dallas! This group running the show in Detroit finally knows exactly what they’re doing. This team is going to be fun to watch for years to come!

the owner doesn't know anything about drafting players. but she wants to understand why certain players are rafted and why certain moves were made. she is killing it so far.

Jerry Jones needs to take notes

unfortunately jerry jones needs a dirt nap, that old dog cannot learn new tricks.@@treanderson2011 Harsh i know, but its that or he sells the team. otherwise Dallas is chained to him until he drops.

just awesome!!!!

I'm gonna have my daughter's bf routing for the Lions by week 1...he's a Chiefs fan🤣😂🤣😂

@@Grit04 🤣

💯 💯 from the front office to the players everybody is focused on the same goal and excited 🦁 🏆

It hasn’t dropped yet bud. Stop tryna be the first comment.

pathetic

It hasn't even started yet dude, what are you on about

@@mikepalmer1676 I won't be wrong, I was more surprised the comment section was open for a premiere YT vid lol

@@sweettangoTIMMY Ha I mean, fair enough, these have been cracking, but seems like a weird comment to make before it even premieres

LaPorta and Gibbs won that game yesterday.

that's what i saw! Just trusting the people she hired and got out the way!

She a 🐐 🔥

Such A Great Draft A +++ 👌 I Love 🐐 with Jahmir Gibbs & Spielman with Jack Campbell Sam & Branch We got 4 Starters with 1st 4 Picks Eventual Pro Bowlers Hooker is a Good Dude, I really like what He has and can be We’ve got a solid backup QB for GOFF The Leader of Our Offense I like that they took a look @ Bridgewater which would have given a Starting caliber backup and the perfect Guy for Hendon to learn from & really just a complete QB Room, so I like that they looked at Teddy this past week. Both DT Martin & OL Sorsdal have potential & I really like Green WR NC Green at that spot was a come up I like the potential there as well But Thee Biggest thing about all of them is not only are they Ballers but they all are legit Good Dudes Real Dudes The Confidence to act right It says a lot. They know they’re Dope so they don’t have to front . Love what Brad Holmes is doing Holmes & MCDC & Ben Johnson are perfect together Plus Randle’El & The Positions Coaches, it goes all the way through Arron Glenn is Building, I like His leadership, his attitude and He’s only getting Better as DC & they’re getting Him players 2022 & 2023 Drafts Plus some Winning Off Season moved LG 💪 🦉🏆 ☝️🦁

👏👏 💪

😂

picking players that fit the culture never works

​@@TedTeddy-ej3dpIt works if you have the right culture. Patriots had it. KC and Cindy have it rn.

@@jerememjd24 They keep a good culture while not reaching in the draft. Time and time again when teams put aside prospect value and take prospects waaaay earlier than they should've gone because "that's their guy", over the years they start having lack of talent then they go into a slump. Seattle is a perfect example of this. That kind of thinking got the Eagles Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson. It also got them Whiteside over Metcalf.

​​​@@TedTeddy-ej3dp Did you even watch the video? The Lions are not only picking culture fits but the best players on their board! They said that with each pick! Detroit vs Everybody

He was my favorite tight end in this class. I was so fricken pumped when we drafted him. He’s going to be the best tight end in Lions History.

Totally agree THANK YOU Sheila! Ford Field (fans) need to give her a shout out. It all started with her.

Amen

I really believe the first 4 guys we took are all first round talents and this is going to be a franchise changing draft and Holmes best draft so far. Laporta was my favorite tight end in the class and I would’ve been happy to take Branch at 18. If hooker becomes the future franchise QB, well that’s just the cherry on top.

Pretty positive that I was on that list.

Me too lol 😂

Dude was a former NFL scout who worked his way up to GM. That's a HUGE blessing for us. Dude knows talent.

They wanted Devon Witherspoon for their first round pick. He was taken by Seattle a pick before. So the draft really went gold with these moves they made by trading back.

Exactly! I loved that. Own it.

And the fans, like pretty much always, were incredibly wrong 😂.

And Green is developing well!

Yeah, really, if Hooker hits big time it may absolutely be the best draft ever. 5 star players including a QB from one draft would just be absolutely bonkers.

Our family needs it's fathers to be there for us.

What a thoughtful and loving comment, sir.

It’s easy to not get excited. You folks forget how other hyped seasons ended. Until they win, there’s nothing here we have not seen before.

@@thomaswatkins3686 I disagree. We've never seen the front office operate like this before. Millen, Mayhew, Quinn. They had the passion of a eunuch who thought he was smarter than everyone else. It's scary to think the Lions will finally be good, but damn, I think that's what we're looking at.

Yeah buddy !

Week 9 and judging by this comment you may of been correct.

@@thomaswatkins3686 comment not aging well so far huh?

Yes, success in the NFL is nearly all about player procurement.

If Levi contributes, Brad Holmes will be considered to have the greatest first 3 years of almost any first time GM.

@aaronhilliard3146 from just a Lions perspective, I see these three drafts as being in the Lions top 5 of all-time. But in hindsight, the Lions have only had a couple of drafts were more than two players made significant contributions.

Revisiting after making the NFC champ!

don't forget Dan saying Golly lol

That’s what I like about her, she doesn’t meddle in these type of football operations. Her father was notorious for sticking his nose where it didn’t belong in team building processes.

Definition of culture.

The fans feel respected when their beloved players are honored, even late.
