DETROIT – Current and former Lions stars joined Eminem to open the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit on Thursday night.

Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jared Goff and Aiden Hutchinson took the stage to amp up Lions fans. St. Brown led a “Jared Goff” rant, which took over the draft theater.

The NFL Draft kicked off on Thursday night in Downtown Detroit for Round 1, and will continue on Friday and Saturday.

Lions fans -- along with other NFL fans -- packed the draft zones quickly, shutting down entry about 90 minutes before the event started on Thursday.
