Detroit Lions fans have been buzzing ever since the team announced Drew Petzing as the new offensive coordinator, and now there’s clarity on when he’s expected to speak publicly for the first time in his new role.
According to team sources and league timelines, Petzing is slated to address the media during the Lions’ organized team activities (OTAs) — typically held in late spring, often in May — marking his first formal, face-to-face interaction with fans and the press since being hired.
Why This Matters
This first public appearance isn’t just a press obligation — it’s a moment of introduction. It’s when the offense’s new voice will begin laying out:
his vision for Detroit’s attack
how he plans to work with Jared Goff
his early priorities for play-calling
what’s different (or familiar) in his system
Fans and media alike will be listening for confidence, clarity, and clues about how quickly his offense could take shape.
What to Expect From Petzing
Early impressions matter — especially for an offensive coordinator stepping into a high-expectation situation like Detroit’s. In his first press session, look for Petzing to:
express respect for the current roster
highlight continuity rather than overhaul
emphasize collaboration with Dan Campbell
set the tone for offseason install and identity
The Bigger Picture
This scheduled appearance can help set fan expectations. If Petzing speaks with confidence and clarity, it can calm critics and energize supporters. It’s the kind of moment that shapes the narrative of his tenure before a single game is played.
For a coordinator stepping into a hot seat and high-stakes situation, a strong first public outing can go a long way.
So mark your calendars —
when Petzing steps up to the mic this spring, every word will be worth listening to. 🦁🔥
