Lions GM Brad Holmes aims to strengthen pipeline for future Black GMs

DETROIT – With no official team activities planned the weekend of June 12, new Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes could’ve spent his entire Saturday afternoon with family, since much of his time has been consumed with work ever since he took over the role in January.

However, his priorities go beyond his role as a family man and GM, so he found a way to do both.

With his young son, B.J., resting peacefully over his shoulder, Holmes felt it was necessary to be a presence alongside head coach Dan Campbell at the 2021 Detroit Grand Prix on Belle Isle, where Campbell served as the event’s grand marshal.
