Podcast: Senior Bowl weigh-in recap, Brad Holmes press conference notes

The Detroit Lions Podcast featuring Lions Wire’s Jeff Risdon is live in Mobile, Alabama for Senior Bowl week. The first day of festivities was quiet on the on-field action but did see Lions GM Brad Holmes give an unscheduled press conference and also the annual weigh-ins for the players competing were released.

Holmes took questions from the Detroit press and covered several issues, from the quarterbacks here on the American team that will be coached by the Lions to the success of Matthew Stafford with the Rams after the trade a year ago. The guys broke down what was important about the comments and why it’s important to not misconstrue Stafford’s situation.

The weigh-ins produced some interesting results. Believe it or not, Bailey Zappe is bigger than Sam Howell and the same size as Malik Willis. The mysterious hand size and abnormally short arms for Pittsburgh QB Kenny Pickett also get broken down. One of the top CBs in the Senior Bowl also had a rough time under the measuring microscope.

The audio-only version of the show is available from your favorite podcast provider.
