If there was ever a sign that the Detroit Lions have made a significant culture shift since the previous regime, I think prank calling teams on draft day would represent something unimaginable from the Matt Patricia days. But that’s exactly what happened on Thursday night.
Late into the night, the Indianapolis Colts were on the clock with the 21st pick in the draft. That’s when Colts general manager Chris Ballard got a call from his good pal John Dorsey, the senior personnel executive from the Lions. The two are friends after spending four years together as part of the Kansas City Chiefs front office from 2013 to 2016.
