It's going to be an uber-competitive camp with some very talented NAT players not making the 46 or PR. Training camp injuries of course can change things. Perhaps we will see some trades to clear some of the log jams? True, but I don’t expect the Lions to send any very talented NAT players packing....

The Lions took defensive players with their fourth, fifth and sixth and seventh picks before taking a flyer on TE Theo Johnson with their final pick in the 8th round.

The Lions finally got a receiver, Ezechiel Tieide of Concordia, with the 19th overall pick

With 3 WRs and RB Michael Chris-Ike off the board, the Lions took a hometown gamble on Theo Benedet with the 15th pick.

The Lions selected two punters in today’s CFL Global draft, Carl Meyer from South Africa and Tory Taylor from Australia. https://www.bclions.com/2024/04/30/lions-grab-k-p-carl-meyer-p-tory-taylor-in-global-draft/ No disrespect to Stefan Flintoft, but using a designated American roster spot for a pun...

Barring a generational talent, you prioritize building from the trenches out. Always. That’s conventional CFL wisdom but it hasn’t worked for the Lions, who have had little success when they used high draft picks on O-linemen. The only national linemen on the roster who they have drafted or develop...

With the CFL draft set to begin Tuesday at 5 p.m., a number of prospects have likely fallen down the draft board due to NFL interest. Hulking UBC OT Giovanni Manu was drafted in the fourth round by the Detroit Lions , while UBC teammate Theo Benedet signed an undrafted free-agent contract with the C...

As expected, the Patriots used the third overall pick in the NFL draft on a potential franchise quarterback, Drake Maye of North Carolina. Maye is young and raw at 21, having spent only two years as a starter in college. The Patriots will likely have to rely on journeyman backup Jacoby Brissett to l...

When they changed TC practices to more walk throughs than actual hitting and play making, I lost interest in attending as it just seemed more difficult to figure out what was going on. Yes, that's another factor. There are still some padded practices in camp but I don't even try to evaluate line pl...

It's sad to see the damage that can be done on one play. I wish Hinsperger a full recovery. As someone whose football dreams ended after suffering a neck injury on kickoff coverage in high school, I feel for both players.

The change is disappointing in the sense that FanFest at Hillside Stadium has always had a festival atmosphere, even though attendance has dwindled over the years. Why do you suppose that is? I would have expected attendance to increase over time as popularity builds with exposure and engagement (i...

I wasn't meaning to suggest the Lions should entertain a veteran presence / back-up receiver like Manny - much rather roll with young talent. And if it's just 6 receivers on the game roster (meaning just one back-up in Harty, or 2 if you include a KR with some receiver ability like Williams), that'...

Revamped FanFest format for Kamloops. In the past everything happened up at Hillside Stadium. This year Play With the Pros clinic will go in the morning 9:00 - 11:00 followed by the scrimmage in mid-afternoon 1:00 - 3:15. Then things will adjourn for a street festival in downtown Kamloops starting ...

The Lions have released a schedule for their 2024 training camp in Kamloops. Rookie camp opens Wednesday, May 8, and main camp on Sunday, May 12, featuring a mix of morning and afternoon sessions, and a scrimmage and Play with the Pros event on Saturday afternoon, May 18. Practice times are subject ...
