This is Football with Kevin Clark

Kevin Clark heads to Detroit Lions training camp for three in-depth conversations with quarterback Jared Goff, general manager Brad Holmes, and new offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. Together, they discuss why the Lions believe they're entering 2026 with renewed hunger, how the organization has built one of the NFL's premier contenders, and what it will take to make the next step toward a Super Bowl.

Jared Goff explains why patience is disappearing in quarterback development, why too many young passers are expected to succeed immediately, and what separates elite quarterbacks from the rest. He also talks about his chemistry with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, Detroit's passionate fan base, and the mindset driving the Lions this season.

Brad Holmes shares how the Lions have kept their championship window open through youth development, why he believes the team's hunger has returned, and why he thinks Jared Goff remains one of the NFL's most underrated quarterbacks.

Drew Petzing discusses taking over one of football's best offenses, his player-first offensive philosophy, and why Goff's anticipation and ability to throw receivers open make him one of the league's elite signal-callers. He also shares his first impressions of Dan Campbell and the culture that's made Detroit one of the NFL's model organizations.
