In the Detroit Lions’ latest round of coaching hires, they pulled a few guys from the college ranks. That made the NFL Combine a unique opportunity to get a perspective on these coaches through the eyes of players who have been directly impacted by their coaching.
So I chatted with four of those players—all of which play skill positions—to get the inside scoop on Detroit’s new coaching staff. And given the character and skill set of some of these players, don’t be surprised if one or two of them end up on the Lions roster this April.
