When it was finally time for the Detroit Lions to make their first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, they didn’t just make a move — they made a statement. And thanks to some behind-the-scenes footage, fans got a front-row seat to the sheer excitement that followed.
No Hesitation, All Celebration
As soon as the Lions were on the clock Thursday night, it became clear: there was no second-guessing. Brad Holmes, Dan Campbell, and the rest of the Lions’ front office already knew who their guy was.
The moment the pick was submitted — Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams at No. 28 overall — the entire war room exploded with energy.
Loud cheers echoed around the room, hugs were flying everywhere, and you could feel the pure, unfiltered joy radiating off every person there. It wasn’t just a celebration; it was the culmination of weeks (if not months) of scouting and planning.
Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell’s Signature Vibe
If you’ve been following the Lions under Brad Holmes’ leadership, you know this isn’t new. Their war room reactions have basically become must-watch entertainment during the draft.
And once again, they didn’t disappoint.
In a world where so much about the NFL Draft can feel cold and calculated, Detroit’s authenticity is a breath of fresh air. Their reactions aren’t about making a show for the cameras — they’re a window into a front office that loves the team it’s building and believes in the players it’s bringing in.
Tyleik Williams: The Perfect Fit
Clearly, Tyleik Williams was someone Detroit had targeted and hoped would be there. And judging by the eruption of joy when his name was called, they see big things in his future.
Williams now officially joins the Lions’ growing roster of young, hungry talent — and if the war room’s celebration is any indication, the organization couldn’t be more fired up about it.
Get ready, Detroit. The energy is real, and it’s only getting stronger.
