Back in January of 2021, the Detroit Lions’ world was changing a lot. None of that change felt good at the time. The Lions were coming off the last season under Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn, Matthew Stafford was about to leave town along with Marvin Jones Jr. and Kenny Golladay. There were so many questions about how the Lions could get this train back on the track.
One year later, the future seems really bright. The Lions may have only gone 3-13-1 in 2021, but optimism is flowing and the rebuild blueprint is clear. It feels like we’re still in the early parts of this plan, but it turns out the path to success may not be that far down the road.
