6 things I think I learned about the Detroit Lions at the NFL Scouting Combine, from Lions Wire’s Jeff Risdon

After spending over a week in Indianapolis for the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine, it’s nice to be back home. With the pro day circuit firing up later this week, it’s a welcomed pit stop to actually cook a meal. It’s also a good time to share what I think I learned about the Lions at the combine.

Without further ado, here’s our post-NFL combine mock draft for the Colts:
