What’s Being Said Ahead of the NFL Combine: A Look at the Buzz for the Detroit Lions
With the Super Bowl now behind us, all eyes are on the NFL Draft season, and the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis is about to kick off. The Detroit Lions, along with the other 31 NFL teams, are getting ready to evaluate this year’s draft prospects. Interviews, on-field drills, and testing will give us a better idea of which players could be the perfect fit for the Lions’ future.
There’s already plenty of chatter about what’s to come in the next few days. Here’s a roundup of some key national storylines:
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders won’t be working out at the Combine, which ESPN’s Matt Miller thinks is a missed opportunity for him to solidify himself as the top QB prospect in the class.
Luther Burden III, Missouri’s standout wide receiver, is one to watch closely, according to ESPN’s Jordan Reid.
On the Lions’ front, ESPN’s Mel Kiper is sticking with a defensive pick in his latest mock draft.
The Combine isn’t just about workouts, though. There are big questions that everyone is eager to see answered. Who will emerge as the fastest prospect? Which under-the-radar players will rise up and grab attention? And for Detroit, what defensive players might they target to strengthen the roster?
The draft is just around the corner, and this week’s action in Indy will set the stage for some crucial decisions.
Stay tuned for more updates as we dive into the 2025 NFL Combine, and keep an eye on how it shapes the Lions’ draft strategy!
