Summary
Lions GM Brad Holmes had to take an unorthodox path to his current position as GM, but used the life lessons obtained along the way to empower him on his journey. Holmes discusses his time as an Enterprise Car Rental employee, his work as a media relations intern with the Atlanta Hawks, and the many mentors who urged him to keep going. He also takes us through the first round pick selections of Jahmyr Gibbs (spelling check) and Jack Campbell, and why Mock Drafts don’t mean as much as we make them out to. Good stuff on the scouting of Aaron Donald, the toughness of Jared Goff, and the promise of the 2023 Detroit Lions.
