April 26, 2025, will live in Ahmed Hassanei's memory as a special day for more than one reason. First, Hassanei officially entered the National Football League ranks when the Detroit Lions made him pick No.

Now that the event is in the rearview mirror, the remainder of the offseason is a gradual ramp-up toward training camp. The Lions' training camp will open earlier than usual this year due to the team playing in the Pro Football Hall of Fame exhibition game.
