It's pro day time. The 2024 NFL Draft is rapidly approaching and now is the time to continue what we've all been doing since the season ended in January. Try to figure out who the Detroit Lions are taking in the draft. We already know some of the players that they've met with at the Senior Bowl and at the combine, now it's time to figure out which pro days they're attending and who they could be looking at there. 

To do that we've built this pro day attendance tracker. We'll be keeping track of every pro day the Lions have reportedly been at and which players they could be there to see. Lets' get into it. 

Alabama

Lions' GM Brad Holmes was present at the Alabama pro day on Wednesday. The Lions were more than likely there to watch cornerbacks Kool-Aid McKinstry and Terrion Arnold. Then Lions had a formal meeting with McKinstry at the NFL Combine. 

Colorado

The Lions showed up to Colorado's pro day. No specifications as to who exactly was there. The Lions were more than likely there to scope out edge rusher Taijh Alston and safety Rodrick Ward. 

FAU

The Lions were at the Florida Atlantic pro day. They were more than likely there to watch defensive lineman Evan Anderson. 

Fresno State

The Lions were at the Fresno State pro day and reportedly took defensive back Morice Norris Jr. out for dinner.

Syracuse

The Lions were on hand for the pro day at Syracuse. They were probably there to watch defensive back Isaiah Johnson. He was the only Syracuse player to get invited to the NFL Combine. 

Penn State

The Lions were at the Penn State pro day. They could have been there to see a number of players. Cornerback Kalen King is someone who has been linked to the Lions before since he's from Detroit.. Offensive lineman Olumuyiwa Fashanu probably had a lot of eyes on him. He is slated to go in the first round. Edge Rusher Adissa Isaac is someone that the Lions could get in the second round. Cornerback Daequan Hardy is another player to watch. 

The Lions also attended a Penn State game earlier in the season.

Holy Cross

The Lions were one of the 30 teams at the Holy Cross pro day. They were likely there to scope out receiver Jalen Coker.

Northern Illinois

The Lions were in attendance for the Northern Illinois pro day. They were likely there to see offensive lineman Nolan Potter. 

Toledo

The Lions were one of 32 teams at the Toledo pro day. They were there for the same reason the other 31 teams were there. That's cornerback Quinyon Mitchell. 

Texas

The Lions were on hand at the Texas pro day. They sent scouts when a lot of other teams sent coaches. There's a lot of players to watch there. Xavier Worthy, Adonai Mtichell, T'Vondre Sweat and Byron Murphy. All guys the Lions could be interested in. 

Texas A&M

The Lions were at Texas A&M on the 19th. They were probably there to watch defensive lineman McKinley Jackson, receiver Ainias Smith and defensive back Demani Richardson. 

Missouri

The Lions were one of 32 teams at the Mizzou pro day. They were there to watch edge rusher, and big Lions fan, Darius Robinson, cornerbacks Ennis Rakestraw and Kris Abrams-Draine. They were likely watching kicker Harrison Mevis too. 

Notre Dame 

The Lions were one of 32 teams at Notre Dame's pro day. They were probably there to watch cornerback Cam Hart, edge Javontae Jean-Baptise and tackle Joe Alt. I'm sure everyone was there to look at Joe Alt. 

USC 

The Lions were one of 32 teams to be at the big USC pro day. They weren't there to watch Caleb Williams like a lot were. I'm sure they scoped him out a bit, but they were probably more likely to be watching receiver Brendan Rice and defensive backs Calen Bullock, Christian Rolland Wallace and Max Williams. 

Miami

The Lions were one of 32 teams at the Miami pro day. They were probably there to watch defensive lineman Leonard Taylor and safety Kamren Kinchens. 

Boise State/Idaho

The Lions were in attendance at the dual Boise State and Idaho pro day. They were likely there to watch receiver Stefan Cobbs and running back George Holani.

UTEP

The Lions were in attendance at the UTEP pro day. They were likely there to scout linebacker Tyrice Knight.

Stanford

The Lions were at the Stanford pro day. There was only one player working out there and that was kicker Joshua Karty.

Utah

The Lions were one of 31 teams at the Utah pro day. They were likely there to watch safety Sione Vaki. They've been watching him through this entire draft process.
