Lions hire Dre Bly as cornerbacks coach

I was a big Dre Bly fan back in the day! Very happy he is getting a shot to coach. He seemed like a smart passionate young man. I think he will help Detroit's D play better! Good hire by the Lions IMO.

Former Lions cornerback Dre Bly has become the Lions’ cornerbacks coach.

Bly was officially hired today, the Lions announced.

The 45-year-old Bly has spent the last four years as cornerbacks coach at his alma mater, North Carolina. He has never coached in the NFL.

Originally a second-round draft pick of the Rams in 1999, Bly signed as a free agent with the Lions in 2003 and spent four years with them. He then spent two years with the Broncos and one with the 49ers before briefly signing with the Lions again in 2010, although he was cut at the end of the preseason.



#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
