Gio Manu had practice knee injury in October 2025 that effectively ended his season.
Still just 25 entering season. Can he reach his potential and earn a backup OT role?

@horne_brady@JimmyLiaoMD No. He weighs 352 lbs… that’s very heavy. For reference Penei Sewell weighs 335.
He’s 6”8 with long arms, and a wide frame so the weight distribution causes him to look thin. He doesn’t carry most of his weight on his belly & he’s more muscular so he looks thinner than he is.
@JimmyLiaoMD That’s true too but I think they may give it yo Levi because he’s got experience playing interior and edge. Adams and Lacy aren’t as explosive
Hoping for a big bounceback year for Mekhi Wingo who flashed in his 2 appearances last season. Was recovering from knee meniscus surgery. Still only 23yo.

Really feeling positive vibes from #Lions S Kerby Joseph given his IG posts and GM Brad Holmes comments after the draft...
Still a ways to go before Week 1 but we'll see.

Can’t grade anything until you see the play but I get outstanding vibes from this draft. Miller is already pro ready and the sky is really the limit there. Moore flashed even with all the coaching issues at MI. Abney is a consensus steal. Brad has a good eye for LB’s. I’m excited

BREAKING: The Lions are picking up the 5th-year option on Jahmyr Gibbs, per @DanMillerFox2.
They will not be picking up the 5th-year option on Jack Campbell.
@horne_brady@NatSparbeck Most likely was a freshman hutchs senior year. They probably do know each other but I dont think they stepped on the same field together
