Jared Goff speaks on new Lions O-line at offseason workouts, informative update.

Detroit Lions center Cade Mays is making a positive early impact in his new role, drawing strong praise from head coach Dan Campbell and quarterback Jared Goff during offseason workouts. Goff highlighted Mays’ standout OTA performance and his overall alignment with the offense, noting the difficulty of stepping into the system and leading up front. The Lions signed Mays to a 3-year, $25 million deal to replace Graham Glasgow, who was released earlier in the offseason.

Goff stressed the importance of building chemistry with his new starting center, emphasizing intentional efforts to develop rapport, including potential dinners with the offensive line. Campbell likewise expressed optimism, describing Mays as a good fit who is adjusting to the team’s terminology and MIKE points. Mays, entering his fifth NFL season, previously played for the Carolina Panthers as a guard transitioning to center, and is expected to be one of two new starters along the line as Blake Miller may start at right tackle while Penei Sewell moves to left tackle.

Key highlights:
– Mays receiving early praise from Goff and Campbell for his OTA performance and fit in the offense.
– The Lions’ plan to build continuity on the offensive line, with intentional chemistry-building efforts.
– Mays’ background: fifth NFL season, former Panthers guard/center, transitioning to center as a potential anchor for a rebuilt line.
