We’re thrilled to have him back.”
During his original stint with Detroit, Prince played a key role in the development of star receivers like Golden Tate and Kenny Golladay. His return comes at a pivotal time, as the Lions aim to make a deeper playoff push following a promising 2024 season.
Prince’s reappointment has stirred optimism among fans and players, many of whom took to social media to celebrate the announcement. The Lions begin offseason training activities next month, where Prince will begin implementing his offensive vision.
