Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell recently offered praise for the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster construction, calling it a strong blueprint for success. He acknowledged that Philly’s approach — from drafting carefully to acquiring key pieces — has built a formidable team. Yet, Campbell was quick to highlight that Detroit is intentionally taking a different path.
Campbell emphasized that the Lions, under his guidance and GM Brad Holmes, build “a tick different,” focusing on long-term development, character, and strategic acquisitions rather than mimicking another team. While he respects the Eagles’ formula, he believes Detroit’s approach fits the team’s identity better, prioritizing grit, growth, and sustainable success. For fans, it’s a reminder that the Lions are charting their own course toward contention, staying true to the blueprint that suits Detroit’s culture and strengths.
