Tim Twentyman is on the road again, this time taking the podcast to Indianapolis for the 2023 NFL Combine. In this episode of Twentyman in the Huddle, presented by Microsoft, Tim is joined by producer PJ Clark as the two discuss the key takeaways from Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell meeting with the media on Wednesday afternoon. The two break down Campbell's process for interviewing prospects, Holmes' take on the backup quarterback position and the latest on the Lions' running back situation before chatting about what the Lions' goals are heading into free agency in a few weeks.
