Detroit Lions to meet with 125 2023 NFL Draft prospects

Detroit Lions GM Brad Holmes and his staff are going to be extremely busy this week as they will be in Mobile, Alabama for the Reese’s Senior Bowl. Each year, we pass along reports about which Senior Bowl players, who are also 2023 NFL Draft prospects, have met with the Lions, and to be honest, it can become a bit tedious. Well, we will still be passing along reports when Detroit has a special meeting with a player, but thanks to Jim Nagy, who is the Senior Bowl director, we now know Holmes and his crew will be meeting with each and every one of the 125 prospects who are in Mobile for Senior Bowl Week.

Why this Matters for the Detroit Lions

When it comes to Brad Holmes, scouting college players is his specialty, and you can bet that he will be looking at players at the Senior Bowl to figure out which ones will fit perfectly in Detroit.

• The Lions currently have 8 picks in the 2023 NFL Draft
• The Senior Bowl is a great opportunity to see some of the top senior prospects up close
• Josh Paschal was in the 2022 Senior Bowl and Holmes fell in love and drafted him in Round 2
