Detroit Lions training camp is basically underway. Rookies report on Wednesday, and the veterans are right behind them, arriving Saturday. After a shorter-than-usual spring program, anticipation for this 2025 squad feels higher than ever.
In the latest episode of the Pride of Detroit podcast, the team dives deep into everything you need to know about this year’s camp. From the most talked-about storylines to the toughest position battles, they cover it all—and even throw in some bold predictions for who might shine.
Here are just a few of the big questions discussed:
- Can Hendon Hooker take the next big step, and is Kyle Allen a real challenger?
- Who has more pressure to perform: John Morton or Jared Goff?
- Will Isaac TeSlaa prove he was worth that third-round selection?
- How much of a concern is Tate Ratledge’s holdout, especially with other second-round picks stalling too?
- What will the offensive line look like, and is Giovanni Manu the real deal?
- Will Aidan Hutchinson look like his usual dominant self, and can Marcus Davenport quiet the doubts?
- Can Tyleik Williams step right into Alim McNeill’s shoes?
- Are Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw ready to take Year 2 leaps?
- And what about safety depth—should fans be worried?
The crew also dishes out early camp superlatives like “most improved,” “best 1-on-1 matchup,” and “2025 camp darling.”
