It was an odd feeling when Pride Of Detroit celebrated its birthday last year simply because the NFL Draft was still weeks away. This year, however, it's a more familiar feeling with POD's ninth birthday coming just a few days before the 2015 NFL Draft.
Pride Of Detroit first launched back on April 27, 2006. I was a 15-year-old sophomore in high school, and the Detroit Lions were just two days away from drafting Ernie Sims with their first-round pick. It's been a pretty wild ride since then, and it's hard to believe we're about to cover our 10th NFL Draft on POD.
