There has been a lot of talk about the Detroit Lions’ offseason over the course of the spring and summer months. Analysts from around the country have spoken at length about how additions along the offensive line and how a revamped secondary should once again have the team playing deep into the postseason.
Lost in a lot of that chatter has been the addition of defensive end Marcus Davenport to a front that is looking to be a lot better in 2024 than they were in 2023. Justin Rogers wrote about how Davenport has been more than ready for the season to get here on the Detroit Football Network.
“I really have no patience,” Davenport said of his yearning for football to be back. “Sometimes I think that’s my downfall, but it also drives me. I’m really lucky there are people here I can trust to help manage me and keep me cool.”

And now, onto the rest of today’s notes:
- Lions’ coach Dan Campbell took some time to discuss wide receiver Jameson Williams’ growth with NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and team reporter Dannie Rogers.
- Add Eric Edholm of NFL.com to the list of people who think Jameson Williams is in line for a breakout season.
- Lions season ticket holders showed up in a big way for Saturday morning’s practice.
- Even the practice jerseys look gorgeous. That shade of Honolulu blue is popping, and the numbers look so much better than the previous versions.
- Lions’ quarterback Jared Goff is once again on the right end of one of Warren Sharp’s chart.
