The 2025 NFL Combine has concluded, and the Detroit Lions are now one step closer to finalizing their draft board. With several prospects showcasing their skills in Indianapolis, the Lions have a plethora of options to consider. Here’s an in-depth look at some of the top prospects who could potentially don the Honolulu blue and silver:
Defensive Line
The Lions’ defensive line has been a focal point for improvement, and several prospects at the Combine caught their attention:
- Nic Scourton, EDGE, Texas A&M: Scourton is a prospect who has been favorably compared to Bengals Pro Bowl talent Trey Hendrickson. He’s a talented pass-rusher with a strong motor and impressive athleticism. Scourton may not be available by the time the Lions have their first draft pick, but if he is, the Lions would be fortunate to acquire him.
- Shemar Stewart, Defensive Lineman, Texas A&M: Stewart is a dominant force in the trenches, with exceptional strength and athleticism. He’s been rising up draft boards after an impressive Combine performance, showcasing his ability to disrupt opposing offenses and create chaos in the backfield.
Linebackers
The Lions have been searching for a consistent linebacker, and the Combine showcased several prospects who could fill this void:
- Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama: Campbell is a physical prospect with impressive size and athleticism. He had a great outing at the Combine, showcasing his explosive speed and agility. Campbell’s ability to drop into coverage and rush the quarterback would be a valuable asset for the Lions.
Other Notable Prospects
- Grey Zabel, OT, North Dakota State: Zabel is a talented utility player who can be moved around to several different positions. He possesses desirable character traits, including determination and work ethic. Zabel’s athleticism and versatility would make him a valuable addition to the Lions’ offensive line.
- Colston Loveland, TE, Michigan: Loveland is a tight end with the ability to elevate the Lions’ passing attack. He has athleticism, sharp route-running/separation, and size. Loveland’s ability to separate and his 6-foot-5 frame make it difficult for opponents to match up.
- Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona: McMillan is a possession receiver with good ball skills. He has a big catch radius and runs with long strides, making him a reliable target for quarterbacks. McMillan’s ability to outmuscle defenders for the ball and create separation would be a valuable asset for the Lions’ receiving corps.
These are just a few of the many potential draft prospects for the Lions. As the draft approaches, the team will continue to evaluate these players and others, ultimately making their selections based on their team needs and the players’ potential to contribute to the organization’s success.
