The Detroit Lions are entering 2024 as legit Super Bowl contenders.
Maybe that’s all that really needs to be said about Lions general manager Brad Holmes.
When he took over the team in 2021, the Lions had to start over. With only a cast-off quarterback and a few pieces on the offensive line, Holmes was tasked with rebuilding the entire Lions roster. And in Year 3, they came as close to the Super Bowl as they have in franchise history—and are arguably an even better team headed into Year 4.
That’s a credit, mostly, to Holmes’ impeccable draft track record.
