Campbell Shines as Lions Scan Day 1 at the 2026 NFL Combine

Detroit Lions beat writer Tim Twentyman’s Day 1 observations from the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine center the spotlight on Jack Campbell as an All-Pro-like influence, the Lions’ potential linebacker targets in free agency or the draft, and the evolving market for centers (Tyler Linderbaum and Creed Humphrey). The piece also highlights the value of versatility (Brian Branch, Sonny Styles) and notes the strong non-premium-position depth of this draft class, plus the dynamic between Lions coach Dan Campbell and new OC Drew Petzing as the team plans for 2026.

Lions coaches outline flexible, collaborative plan at NFL Combine

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing and defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard used their NFL Combine media sessions to outline a flexible, data-driven plan: Sheppard highlighted self-scouting that targets third‑and‑long struggles (28.8% conversions on third‑and‑10+, 42.5% on third‑and‑9 or less) and the team’s 105 explosive plays (82 pass, 23 run), with some plays deemed avoidable and coaching tweaks needed. Petzing stressed roster-driven adaptability (not fixed to 13 personnel) and a collaborative approach with GM Brad Holmes to maximize players’ ceilings, plus a game‑to‑game efficiency mindset that can pivot as needed.

Lions outline 2026 plan at the Combine: Petzing's fit, defense tweaks, OT depth, Joseph update, and Clark retirement

At the NFL Scouting Combine, Detroit head coach Dan Campbell outlined five takeaways: Drew Petzing is a creative, versatile fit for the offense and is already working with Jared Goff; the defensive staff will tweak schemes as Campbell emphasizes tighter execution; left tackle depth is a priority if Taylor Decker retires and to prepare for injuries; Kerby Joseph's return from knee soreness is being carefully managed; and Mike Clark is retiring after 50 years, with Josh Schuler set to run the team's strength program.

Lions eye-ready edge rushers in 2026 NFL Combine preview

Detroit Lions’ 2026 NFL Combine edge-rush preview weighs a group of near-early-round prospects (Keldric Faulk, Akheem Mesidor, T.J. Parker, Mason Thomas, Gabe Jacas, Zion Young, Derrick Moore, Dani Dennis-Sutton) as potential fits for No. 17, with Arvel Reese, Rueben Bain, and David Bailey excluded from the watchlist; focuses on bend, speed-to-power, hand placement, and scheme fit with Hutchinson to identify ready-to-contribute edge rushers rather than pursuing a trade-up.

Lions Target Interior OL Anchors Ahead of 2025 NFL Combine

With the 2025 NFL Combine approaching, Detroit Lions scouts are assessing a thinner interior offensive line class to decide at center and guard depth for the 2026 season, as Glasgow ages and Ratledge's future at center remains in question. The article highlights top guard prospects Vega Ioane and Chase Bisontis, plus Emmanuel Pregnon, and the leading center options Sam Hecht and Jake Slaughter, with other centers like Connor Lew, Logan Jones, and Pat Coogan also in the mix. Detroit could target a pick at No. 17 or No. 50, but the class lacks clear plug-and-play starters, likely requiring development or free-agent moves.
