Lions receiving corp in Hawaii.

 

There is essentially no new Lions news going on right now. But there is a few tidbits that are worth looking at as we start going into the fun free agency/draft period.

  • Calvin Johnson will be sitting out at the Pro Bowl, but he decided to go to Honolulu anyways, and he took and paid for the rest of the receiving corp to go with him, that’s some pretty awesome shit.

 

  • Calvin Johnson has stated publicly that he wants to sign an extension to stay with Detroit, this is great news for people worried about him wanting to leave. Bill Ford Jr. has also came out publicly with his eagerness to resign Calvin, um ya good call.

 

  • Cliff Avril and Martin Mayhew have both stated that they want to work out a long-term deal.

  • Ndamukong Suh’s brand is as strong as ever, this guy is appearing everywhere, including the pre/post game shows on CBS of the divisional round of the playoffs.

 

  • The coaching staff, front office and scouts are down at the Senior Bowl and are apparently showing a lot of interest in running backs and Cornerbacks.

 

  • Just about every mock draft has the Lions selecting one cornerback or another.

 

  • 2011 7th round selection Johnny Culbreath was busted with a couple blunts in South Carolina.

  • Matthew Stafford was recently seen at the Palace of Auburn Hills attending a Piston game, I am really happy about the status this guy is attaining locally, it wont be long before he owns this state.
