It's no secret that the Detroit Lions pay a lot of attention to special teams under GM Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell. Both leaders emphasise the importance of the kicking and punting units whenever they get a chance.

The Detroit Lions used a sixth-round pick on Boise State DE Ahmed Hassanein but still need another starting-caliber pass rusher.

Brad Holmes had Georgia on his mind during the NFL draft. The Detroit Lions' general manager chose three Georgia Bulldogs among his seven picks — guard Tate Ratledge, safety Dan Jackson and wide receiver Dominic Lovett.
