The #Lions official account had fans puzzled with random posts this morning.
So what happened? It was players showing up to the facility and being allowed to post whatever they want from the team page. 💀
Ennis Rakestraw won the viral post of the day.
BREAKING: Free agent CB D.J. Reed plans to sign with the #Lions on a 3-year, $48M that includes $32M fully guaranteed, multiple sources tell @NFLonFOX.
One of the top corners on the market lands a lucrative deal in Detroit.
.@Lions RB @MontgomerDavid is the 10th player in @NFL history to produce at least 70 scrimmage yards and a rushing TD in each of the first five games of a season.

I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania.
I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.
Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.
#Lions OC Ben Johnson explained why he stayed in Detroit instead of taking a head coach position.
Johnson mentioned that of the eight openings this offseason, five of those hires will likely be gone in the next three years.
He wants to be sure he can secure a second contract as a head coach, and his situation in Detroit is too good to leave for just any job.
A very honest answer...
