The countdown to Training Camp 2025 is on, with just three weeks remaining before the Detroit Lions hit the field. On this week’s Detroit Lions Podcast, we’re diving into a packed show as we assess the post-Ragnow era, break down the new coaching staff, set our 2025 expectations, and spotlight the second-year players who could take the next step. We also challenge the growing national narrative that’s beginning to doubt this Lions squad, and share the names we’re most intrigued by heading into camp.

The retirement of Frank Ragnow marks the end of an era in Detroit. The former All-Pro center anchored the line with toughness, leadership, and elite skill—traits not easily replaced. We take a look at the Lions’ internal options, what his departure means for the contract and salary cap picture, and how the offensive line may need to evolve without him. Could we see scheme changes under new leadership?

Speaking of change, 2025 brings fresh energy to the Lions' coaching staff, with two new coordinators on each side of the ball. Our podcast breaks down how the offensive and defensive identities could shift this season. What will stay true to Dan Campbell’s aggressive style, and where might we see new wrinkles introduced during training camp 2025?

The jump from year one to year two is often where NFL players make their biggest leap. This Lions roster is packed with 2024 draft picks ready to break out. We highlight several second-year guys we believe could have Detroit Lions Hall of Fame potential—or at least make a major impact this year.

National media has started to cool on the Lions after a red-hot 2024, but we explain why writing off this team is a dangerous mistake. With a maturing core, smart front office decisions, and a hungry locker room, the 2025 expectations remain sky high.

To close the episode, we share who we’re most excited to watch in camp—from breakout hopefuls to veterans fighting to keep their roles.
