We want to see Broderick eat this year. Let's go, young man!

[@Dysphoriax]

Hendon looks so happy to be playing again. Good for him!

[@spiritofdetroitpodcast]

absolutely

[@Razahoo7]

Drafted to be a backup..... so exciting

[@spiritofdetroitpodcast]

@@Razahoo7 TALK TO CAMPBELL.

[@JaredBruski]

​@Razahoo7 a valuable backup on a trending upward team. He does well when he needs to and he's at worst looking at a stable position with a high likely hood of moving up. He excels he's looking at being traded for high value and a large contract

[@Honestly__now]

@@Razahoo73rd or 2nd string stay tuned

[@florida1289]

Aidan looks phenomenal. He's everything you want in your players. Incredible leader too as everyone will look at Aidan and realize there are no days off, no plays off. Thank you, Jacksonville.

[@spiritofdetroitpodcast]

man he's so good . hard to believe people wanted HAMILTON over him. thats' crazy.

[@thomaswatkins3686]

Lol. He had 2 sacks over an 8 game period last years. Then had 5 the final 2 weeks. What are you thanking the Jags for. The lions still passed on Sauce Gardner. And didn’t even consider him. And got scorched in the nfc title game at CB AND Hutchinson was neutralized that game too. You were saying?

[@thomaswatkins3686]

@spiritofdetroitpodcast Lmfao. Hamilton was a first team all pro. Hutchinson has some awesome eye paint tho. I painted my face like that too….when I was 7.

[@tylerbouck3555]

​@thomaswatkins3686 these dudes don't get it, act like he's getting 12-15 plus sacks a year. Dude was dog water for the majority of last season.

[@spiritofdetroitpodcast]

[@whitemike6330]

Sam is a good dude man you can tell

He's a beast on the field 😊

[@sharlayanarchon]

He came into the Home Depot where I work! And was kind and courteous with everyone ♥️♥️♥️

Man.. I’m.. sooooooo freaking excited bruh.. 😩😩😩 I wish we could get some OTA highlights man

[@stardu5t796]

Yeah! i agree what's up with that where are the vids.

[@spiritofdetroitpodcast]

I wan the seeaon to start 2MORROW

[@stu_boogie2488]

Media only can be there certain days. But yeah, it would be nice. And a lot longer videos too. They seem to be very short.

[@79derikh]

They’re making us wait for the next Inside The Den release. Can’t wait. 😛

[@mdell7131]

CAN WAIT!!!!!!!!

[@doublea9482]

Hutch and Sewell just battling in practice. I’d hate to go against either of these monsters.

[@florida1289]

Both never miss a snap, never take a play off, both just scratching the surface of their ceilings Both dominated from the jump. Both are peak of what you pray to get from your 1st rd pks.

[@spiritofdetroitpodcast]

facts iron sharpens iron

[@JaredBruski]

😂 I can't imagine anyone whi isn't used to peneis presence having to try and rush the edge on that wall. And QBs having to deal with the athleticism of hutch must be irritating.

[@thomaswatkins3686]

Lol. Hutchinson had TWO sacks over an 8 week period right in the middle of the season. Never missed a snap? He needed 5 sacks his last 2 games to even look remotely respectable last season. Pay attention.

[@davisonlax]

@@thomaswatkins3686yeah, 84 QB pressures is a joke, you should look it up for where it ranks in the league…

[@RockHoward38]

Great to hear from the fellas. I’m so hyped for this season!

[@spiritofdetroitpodcast]

same man .

[@TheBigCodeZero]

Hell yea🎉

[@bryansmith844]

I’m glad Brodric had Alim to rolemodel that work ethic. Dude’s got a great mindset you can tell, and hoping he gets to make a crater in a few OLs

[@ZacharyNedow]

God I love this team! We have some high character guys. Top to bottom this entire organization has molded this team to be the face of the league. Props to Sheila, Brad, Dan and everyone for the turnaround!

[@basquiatjean4514]

Yes Zach, my thoughts exactly!

[@bobby_D]

The new unis are 🔥

[@spiritofdetroitpodcast]

lions are killing it with the unis this year.

[@Paolo-sw8ys]

Nope... The silver numbers were way better on the blue jerseys were way better... and black is dumb and done to death... Loved last years unis

[@johnthrasher8146]

Great stuff! Looking forward to 2024. Go Lions!!

I love Sam LaPorta. I feel like his confidence is at a 1000 right now!

[@matthewkosinski589]

Hutch answers questions like Jim Harbaugh does.

[@denverblair3977]

Bro sam LaGoatas confidence is hype!! That's what a number 1 TE in the league look like!!

[@Gamers2Angry]

Looking forward to see what hendon does in his 3 games in the preseason

[@Ty_Guy3]

Reporters need to chill on Aidan

[@stu_boogie2488]

@stu_boogie2488 And “Aidan”

[@raymondpetersen6155]

I just can't help it, I want to see Hooker out there!! Awesome athlete, I hope the Lions don't lose him!!

[@daveroy1791]

Is it just me or does Laporta look like Coach Dan?

[@shaneoinsaneo5162]

I swear if they don’t extend Laporta with a 45 year contract when his rookie deal is done. This dude is a PRO.

[@cammyboyyy8173]

"are back in town"

[@PlaybackXx]

laporta is such a gangster mann

[@thegamingdrew3105]

Im telling you guys. Hendon has that it factor. Will be nice to see how he competes if goff happens to get hurt

[@ManifestMyFuturesDestiny]

The kid just needs playing time and reps. Needs to be exposed to as much pre season games possible. Can't replace game experience.

[@flirps2605]

He seems to have a good head on his shoulders, not too cocky but not going to shy away from the opportunity (no shade at him) that I hope never comes lol he’s a sleeper on the team imo

[@florida1289]

Sounds like he as been struggling. Going through his progressions is not something he ever had to do so it will take time. His goal must be to win the back up job. Ill just leave it at that.

[@user-wu7ji9kt2p]

@@florida1289in no universe does he lose the backup job to Nate sudfeld💀💀💀

[@spiritofdetroitpodcast]

Hendons gotta it im so trusting of hendon goff and the coaching staff. its so great to see a competent team take the field.

Hendon hooker and Antino green combo in preseason 🔥

[@MrTmac2023]

lets go lions! 2k24

[@desert_sky_guy]

Not a bad vibe within a million miles of this franchise right now. Arrow pointing up, roster stacked, putting in the work... you thought last year was fun? We are in for a TREAT, friends. Believe it, it's inevitable.

[@ecfanning1496]

Been sayin' for a while now that LAST YEAR'S team reminded me of the Super Bowl favorite 1971 Dolphins who were upset in the playoffs. And we all know what happened in 1972. 🍾 🍾🍾

[@msuobad]

LaPorta needs to grow a giant sweet stache

[@drankandmy2step]

Thank you for Broderick Martin session

Has Brodric learned from Jared Goff with the bottle cap 🤣

Laporte looking like a damn matinee idol out there with that tan and stache:

[@DavidWhitt-ym7bk]

Goddammit Brad! Howd you do this you mad man?!?!

[@matthewgrice6902]

👍🏻🦁

[@lupinschocolate]

I need the beanie Hendon is wearing.

[@davidwright1728]

Hutch is an amazing talent and ready to bring the pain 💪.....

[@thomaswatkins3686]

If he can get more than 2 sacks in the middle 8 weeks of the season, that’d be great.

[@Honestly__now]

Yea he is a pro now. Stay positive and wait for opportunities. Preseason is a huge opportunity

[@MrRonjivRoy]

Brodric seems to have matured. I think T Williams will make him a big time player, he possesses the physical traits of a perennial all pro.

[@rickydiesel1081]

Prediction: at least one weekend this fall the Wolverines and Lions starters at quarterback will be Hooker & Orji. And I'll be excited to watch!

[@stu_boogie2488]

Anything is possible.

[@Oh_deer777]

this lions team feels like they were made for hollywood ngl.

[@tommclain8893]

Players keeping cards closer to the vest than the past. Win it ALL best thing said.

[@stefandietmann5120]

"I keep the goals to myself" Thats also why Dan and Brad did draft Aidan and not Kayvon Thibodeaux or Travon Walker.

[@virgillyman2640]

Coaching, Coaching, Coaching the most important thing to a winning team!!! Drill, drill, drill is the most important thing for the for the U.S. economy!!!

[@jesuschristhimself.]

I think this is my first time seeing Martin

[@mvpalumb]

JUSTIN SIMMONS! - Legit question… If the Safety position is a big concern & we have the cap space, & Justin Simmons is out there looking for a TEAM, why don’t we go get him!? He should be an option! 🦁🏈🙏🏼🤞🏼🍀🙂 He looks like he could be a good fit for Detroit if the contract & numbers work…

[@talktameefromthegcrnetwork8989]

Love Laporta

[@craigpotvin6897]

Look I want to see him play no he won't take over for Goff yet unless Goff gets hurt

[@stu_boogie2488]

Agree. But some think he's the second coming of Patrick Mahomes. I don't know how good he'll be.

[@tlee7653]

Good thing Hutch is a great player, as he is neither entertaining nor informative when being interviewed. Of course, the questions were as bad as usual.

[@laurenclark3150]

Who's all injured on defense right now?

[@rpeltomaa5821]

Hutchinson will be the best in the league by going up against the best in the league (Sewell) every day at practice and vice versa

[@JMatthewJohnson]

Dudes. All.

[@andyfilips420]

If you listen to Hutch or Hooker specifically- it’s truly incredible what Dan Campbell has done. This was arguably one of the worst franchises in world sports

[@DirtyBeefCurtains]

Lmao these bland ass answers to the same bland old questions. Players just clowning these Detroit reporters 😂

[@michaelgarrett556]

I think we signed Goff for a year or two too long. Hendon is like an oncoming frieght train.

[@harrellwilliams5010]

Only way Goff spends his whole contract here, he will have too win a superbowl or atleast win have multiple super bowl loses, if not he'll be gone in 3 yrs including this season

[@stu_boogie2488]

Really? How many NFL games have you watched him play? I'd like to see what he can do on the field, but being realistic in saying. He hasn't showed nothing in the NFL yet. I'm rooting for him. But not using my crystal ball to let me know how he'll play in game's.

[@DirtyBeefCurtains]

😂😂😂 oh because you know? You can’t even spell freight train correctly.
