The Lions are entering their second season with head coach Dan Campbell and quarterback Jared Goff, and they are looking to build off an encouraging 2021. Last year, Detroit began the season 0-10-1 before winning three of their final six games, bringing the total record to 3-13-1.
Detroit added defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and WR Jameson Williams with their two first-round picks, and signed wide receiver D.J. Chark and defensive back DeShon Elliott as veterans looking for bounce-back seasons. Along with these on-field additions, the Lions will also have a new offensive coordinator as Ben Johnson replaces Anthony Lynn in that position.
Before the season begins, the Lions will have some national exposure as well. The team was selected to appear on Hard Knocks this season, which will follow the team’s training camp during the Summer.
