Polls have been done asking NFL players which head coach they’d like to play for, if not their own. It’s no surprise Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell lands high in those surveys, based on the way he conducts business. During his post-training camp press conference last Thursday, Lions general manager Brad Holmes talked about how much things have changed since…

The Cowboys entered training camp with a clear and present need at the receiver position. Yes, they had one of the best WRs on the planet in CeeDee Lamb, but behind him was a grab bag of unknowns and mysteries. The veteran of the bunch, Brandin Cooks, turns 31 in September and is coming off…
