He hasn't proved he can do this in the league. Chill until he show and prove

[@Gucch1000]

If he plays with this motor he will be fine in Detroit

Congrats my guy welcome to the Detriot Lions 🥳

[@milesallen5590]

He looks like Hutch. Have two DE like this will be crazy

[@danmule4131]

I mean it's the CFL. Pump the breaks a little

[@0xKaine]

American here. This is so awesome to see. Canadian brought up through their system. Absolute dog that is clearly playing at a level way too high for CFL and now gets a chance to show what he can do at the highest level. Hope to see more of this from Canada, Europe and Australia going forward!

[@TinoBinoBandz]

That damn Get off is crazy!!!!! Giving me jarred Allen vibes 🔥🔥🔥 . Welcome to Motown!

[@drewbush2163]

Brad Holmes eye for talent is unfair, can’t wait to see this guys potential. Looks like an absolute beast

[@brianwarren4438]

That's his "unfair advantage". He started his career as a traveling scout so he definitely knows what he's looking for.

[@AmazingBlaze0]

@@brianwarren4438yep that’s true. Brad is very smart and knows what he’s looking for.

Incredible get off! Let’s go lions 🦁

Insane

[@doublea9482]

So damn fast.

[@tobiashenry5123]

Exactly what we need a speedy defender

[@deandredavies4557]

Thats what I said. He gets off the line so fast

[@DayDay2355]

Plays like TJ and JJ Watt. Good shit Brad

[@dallas1891]

Total trust in the Lions organization right now. These guys don’t miss as of late! Let’s go!! 🦁

His get-off speed unreal 🔥🔥🔥

Lions fan looking for highlights. Not disappointed 💪🏻

[@salamanderz5847]

Man I can’t wait to see the documentary on Detroit putting the pieces together over the last 3-4years to bring us long suffering Lions fans a Super Bowl ring. I’m calling it. Lions 2024 Super Bowl champions 🙌🦁

[@Zuwoop]

The way he contains the edge is something else could definitely help against mobile qbs let’s go lions

[@WellDressed_]

The Kid looks good! His attitude will fit in perfect with Hutch!

[@Mr.GetGuap]

His recognition of the snap is ridiculous

[@shayman33]

Agreed

[@grandthemes5972]

Detroit Lions fan here, this dude is 🔥

[@Nickh4929]

I am a fan of the cfl team he plays for and can confirm he dominated like no other player did.

[@michaelmcdermott209]

My Lions had a meeting with this guy and we would love to have him here in Detroit! Make it happen Brad Holmes. It would be amazing to see him lined up opposite Aiden Hutchinson. #OnePride

[@icecreampimpdeux]

HE'S WITH US!!! LET'S GOOOO!!!!!!

[@salamanderz5847]

He listened

[@themichaelgraeme]

Man to watch in 2024

[@donovanmcvick]

Cameron Wake was also a CFL DPOY before taking off with thr dolphins. I see a similar career trajectory 💪

[@exuma6]

Never! Wake was 6”4 260lbs with an incredible get off and strong af!

[@fallingfloors]

You do realize Cameron wake did play in the cfl he isn't capping.

[@exuma6]

@@fallingfloors you’re preaching to the choir. I’m a dolphins fan. And I know all about wake. Still doesn’t change what I said about Comparing the two.

[@PCPAyLOAD]

Welcome to Detroit young man!! Super excited to see you in the Blue and Silver!

[@blackkorean1]

man he is fast off the line

I think this dude will honestly flourish with the lions

Oh my, this dude is a freakin' machine!! Can't wait to see him on the field for the Detroit Lions this year!

Goin crazy!

[@truehearz]

Glad to have him on board would love to see him inside with Mcneil and hutch and houston on the edges that would be so awesome welcome to the detroit lions brother Go lions.

[@frankhmeissneriv61]

Hell yeah Betts and Hutch gonna change the defensive line for the Detroit lions...🏈🏈🏈🏈...let's go Lions!!!

[@gorditaz8728]

Betts is good, but I don’t expect him to have this kind of success in the NFL. He will definitely add pressure defensively and he’s only going to get better with time. I like this pick up.

[@Velock85]

From the BC Lions to the Detroit Lions cant wait!

[@Myshtcity]

Wow he's fast 💯

[@kopitarrules]

He's the Juggernaut Elks!

[@strawrawry343]

Looks good in the CFL, excited to see how he does in the NFL.

[@devinwhite7305]

This dude actually looks very good, quick off the ball, hustler, big/strong, lions getting him on a cheap deal might be a steal

[@jaybrick8973]

im excited to see what he can do in the nfl

[@tmr9069]

The closing speed.

[@ACrazedGaming]

Bro he is mad quick off the line

[@KangaKucha]

Still got a ways to go fellow Matt, given BC QB before is now with the Jags kicking bums! 😊

[@pjmac550355]

Can never have enough pass rushers……we saw this year after Houston went down. We struggled generating pressure opposite of Hutch

[@profit100k5]

This is what Brad Allen was talking about in his end season press conference. We will only get better.. #GOLIONS!! Can’t wait to see what they do in the draft

[@charleskotovich4102]

Look at quan'tez stiggers too top cb. Lions future deal. Beast

Lions fan here

[@jujijime]

Hopefully, this is repeatable in the NFL, he looks explosive/quick off the line . would love to see Detroit's defense in the top 10.. they got all the tools to do it after FAs & draftees. Let's Go!

[@Fighterx356]

This video gonna have 100k by tomorrow

[@silversagerae6353]

1 down 2 to go (edge rushers) go Lions!

[@tj-597]

If he gets his NFL legs under him he’ll matchup nicely with Hutch. Liked the clip where he was double teamed; levels one player then pushed the other aside and gets the quarterback,now that’s impressive.

[@DLIONSJR02]

We need another high motor Aiden. Especially for these rushing qbs these days. A lot of competition this training camp boys

[@LeudellWesley-yx7qs]

Like to see them get johnny wilson 6'7 receiver

[@charleskotovich4102]

He weighs more than maxx crosby. 6'3" like micah faster than nick bosa. Arm length of reddick and hand size 9 and 6 tenths. I can see a bit of all of them in his play.

[@captainpatriot1028]

One pride baby welcome

[@andrewhite4846]

He’s on the small side for an edge!

[@TjRonin]

Hes a Sam

[@desert_sky_guy]

Damn I really hope he translates! Dude has some short-area burst and violent suddenness. He couldn't be going to a better situation, either, to help him succeed. If they signed him, he's a Grit guy and will fit into the locker room like a glove. Then he'll get some of the best DL coaching around and spend every practice working against Sewell and/or Decker. (Nobody really talks about it, but the Lions having Hutch vs. those two every day in practice is almost like a cheat code - almost nobody he faces during a game will be able to stop him like those guys can)

[@_TheGman]

Dude. Brad Holmes!!!!

[@MK22DeT]

He looks fast but some of that O-Line play was awful. Let's see if he can make the Lions roster.

[@Socialdogma]

Yep. One OT didn’t even make his first step until Betts was doing his sack celebration.

[@alexislefebvre298]

Mathieu Betts= Qb nightmare

[@pompgt7234]

As a lions fan, I’m cautiously optimistic. Dude has a motor. A lot of these highlights are because he never gave up on the play. The part of his game I most hope translate in the NFL is being an absolutely stud when the QB leaves the pocket. If he can do that off the opposite side of Hutch, consistently? He’s worth the spot. Also do they not call holding in the CFL??? Dude already looks like a Lion 🤣🤣🤣

[@criscolard1]

Betts and Hutch!?!?! Two high motors?!?! Can the season start start now please?

[@razokmt1520]

Those are high scool linemen. Won't pan out.

[@user-uk1fo7sl7l]

Ok brad Holmes I see u....let's go lions....

[@rayshawn2323]

I predict 5 sacks and probably 200 snaps what a steal only 800,000 dollar contract that has great upside

[@mrzaburisyourmom]

Welcome to the lions

[@nicholasdelaney1788]

Brad homes cooking with new ingredients I see🙏

[@RussellVanderhoof]

They’re holding this dude on half of this highlights.~

[@CoachDevPNW]

I really like his CFL play but I want to see it translate to the NFL. We need another pass rusher and maybe he’s a diamond in the rough. Let’s go Brad

[@mlittle2082]

I see people saying it's the CFL, I'm sure he's better than most college players, I'm sure he can compete

[@bipolarpunt5721]

NFL gets the top 4% of College and CFL gets the next 4%, CFL is still better than 95% of US college players.

[@Doors067]

Ceiling: john cominsky Floor: back to canada

[@thegamingdrew3105]

brad holmes knows how to find dudes

[@iceman1272]

Legends has it that, Dan Campbell wanted him on the team because of his last name😅

[@laohaus5365]

He had 18 sacks last year

[@firebrand07]

Welcome to DETROIT!

[@ralph1881]

Honestly CFL has a bigger field...more athletic lineman with their style of football...but as an end he has potential to be a nightmare. Blitz him as a LB...move him around and see what he can do in the league.

[@twoom705]

Oh Detroit is going to the Super Bowl!

[@colonialstraits1069]

Welcome to Detroit!

[@Steve_643]

There’s a reason why we don’t see any O lineman from the CFL in the NFL. Betts looks great but I gotta see him against NFL Tackles before I think he can actually make the Lions roster.

[@jaybrick8973]

cameron wake panned out well an he came from the cfl its definitely a possibility he could be great fingers crossed

[@godexhibits]

all I see is upside, gonna get some work against nfl comp in camp, nfl conditioning, and he 28 bro in his prime 😮‍💨 him n hutch plus houston lets get it

[@krash22mini72]

Let's sign him on the cheap for a few years and rule the NFL in sacks

[@godexhibits]

@@krash22mini72 brilliant plan 😂 , aye man even if he gives us only 8-10 sacks im good with that!!!! I just wanna see a season where hutch isnt double teamed and held on every possession

[@michalecooper3742]

Great get off on the ball but he has no moves I’m happy we got him but he gotta get some more moves in his bag.

[@jamesbivens3906]

I think he will be good he got the motor and we got the coaches now

[@michalecooper3742]

@@jamesbivens3906 he kinda give me hutch vibes I just know when hutch had limited moves he was getting locked up. But I like the addition.

[@ericsthillify]

As a detroit lions fan, i look forward to watching him get held repeatedly in the nfl with zero penalties called🤷‍♂️

[@sanijohnservices5137]

He plays like tj watts

[@charleskotovich4102]

One of his stats is a watt well not stat he weighs just over max crosby, he's 6'3" like Micah just faster than nick boss arm length of reddick and hand size 9-6

[@johnelizondo6678]

Hutch gonna help this monster. Just what the doctor ordered

[@shashanksubramaniam1400]

Let’s be honest, the OLinemen in these clips just flat out suck. A lot of them are more like fat tight ends and way too small to make it in the NFL. Several of the sacks came on snaps where the tackle was slow to react, borderline lazy like they snapped the ball until MB was already past him. But MB has a WICKED fast getoff at the line of scrimmage that is very James Houston-esque. If he can learn to play OLB, he could even be utilized how Dallas was deploying Micah Parsons before Parsons switched to a full time DE. Great low risk, high upside find by Detroit

[@bipolarpunt5721]

CFL has some big boys, what the youtube video of the 6'11" 340lb lineman hit the DB that made an interception. I thought he was dead.

[@uniqueditems3541]

Heres detroit guy to stop the quarterback scramble

[@daycased8200]

It is good Detroit signed him. However, he tends to tackle very high. That won't work against Justin Fields.

[@PS2SPORTSGAMING]

welcome to detroit

[@simondesjardins4085]

Hopefully he comes home to the Als!

[@user-uk1fo7sl7l]

Lol 😂Every lions fan is watching video on him ...tryna see who this guy is

😂 CFL Vs European League Of Football 🏈! Which Is Better!

[@Tubeite]

Pretty clearly CFL

[@chadkupchick4132]

I wish him the beat but he's kinda small right hmmm

Lord willing. He definitely is

Betts is a French Canadian, played for Steroid Laval University, very much unlike Americans, a different cat, but isnt that Defensive Lineman?.
