The Best of the Detroit Lions Draft Class

  5. Matthew Stafford - Selected #1 overall - 2009   Our fearless leader. Even though Stafford has had outstanding yardage in the last 2 years, he is unproven as far as a successful QB. The Lions ended last year a dismal 4-12 after coming off a 10-6 playoff run the year prior, and one must question where the blame lies. Is it with the coach, or the QB that leads them on the...

Mosley apologizes to Stafford for injury hit

On his first day as a Detroit Lion, defensive tackle C.J. Mosley took some good-natured ribbing. It was the 6-foot-2, 314-pound Mosley who put a vicious hit on Matthew Stafford that separated the quarterbacks shoulder in the final seconds of a game against Cleveland in 2009. Stafford came back in and threw the game-winning touchdown for the Lions as time expired. Now he and Mosley...
