The 2025 NFL Draft hasn't even started in Green Bay, but Detroit Lions executives are already lobbying to bring the event back to their city. Team president Rod Wood took a shot at the Lions' NFC North rival while making his case for the draft to return to Detroit.

According to 97.1 The Ticket's Will Burchfield, Wood said Green Bay won't come close to cracking Detroit's attendance record set in 2024. The 2024 NFL Draft in downtown Detroit hosted over 775,000 people over the three-day event, breaking the attendance record previously held by Nashville in 2019.

After winning back-to-back NFC North titles, the Lions have become the team to beat in the division. Wood wants the draft to return to the city and is working to beat other places to bring it back to Motor City, even taking a shot at Green Bay in the process.
