The NFL’s Annual League Meetings are underway in Palm Beach, Florida, with coaches and general managers gathering to discuss the upcoming 2025 season. A highlight of these meetings is the traditional group photo of the head coaches.
In this year’s photo, Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is prominently positioned in the back row, standing between Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin and Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton. Notably, former Lions coordinators Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, now head coaches of the Chicago Bears and New York Jets respectively, are seated side-by-side on the left side of the front row. The only coach absent from this year’s photo was Raheem Morris of the Atlanta Falcons.
The League Meetings, running from Sunday through Wednesday, will feature media availabilities with key figures, including Lions’ President and CEO Rod Wood, head coach Dan Campbell, and general manager Brad Holmes.
In related news, CBS Sports has identified potential first-round draft options for the Lions, suggesting the team might focus on bolstering their pass rush or strengthening the interior offensive line. Additionally, Lions’ wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown recently attended a practice session at his alma mater, USC, accompanied by running back Jahmyr Gibbs.
These developments underscore the Lions’ proactive approach as they gear up for the 2025 season, aiming to build on their recent progress and address key areas to enhance their competitiveness.
