Rookie RB Jeremiyah Love has no idea who Jared Goff is

We interrupt your very serious Detroit Lions Organized Team Activity coverage with a very funny, very ridiculous moment from the St. Brown Podcast.

The Detroit Lions’ roster is nearly at 90 players, and it can be hard to keep track of everyone.

Who will be the next to be paid from the Lions’ 2023 draft class?

Well, everyone can take a breath now.
