- Matthew Stafford is doing the media rounds this week promoting his artwork in conjunction with Repreve. Below watch him talk about Calvin Johnson's potential retirement and how it has affected thoughts on his own career:
- Draft guru Mike Mayock spoke with the media yesterday. Here are the tidbits most relevant to the Detroit Lions:
Mike Mayock says Notre Dame RB C.J. Prosise would be a good complement to Ameer Abdullah for Lions. Could be fourth-round pick.
— Josh Katzenstein (@jkatzenstein) February 23, 2016Mike Mayock says "it's a defensive draft." Could be the best interior D line class he's seen.
— Carlos Monarrez (@cmonarrez) February 23, 2016Mayock: I don't think this is a great WR class this year.

- Remember how Stafford is the only quarterback in history to complete 60+ percent of his passes in all 16 games in a season? Football Outsiders took a deeper look at the record and why it was Stafford to first accomplish the feat.
- If you're still penciling in Alshon Jeffery into the Lions' offseason plans, you can probably stop now:
#Bears GM Ryan Pace says team is negotiating to sign WR Alshon Jeffery to a long-term contract. Said franchise tag remains an "option."
