The Detroit Lions have reportedly invited Daniel Holtzclaw, a linebacker out of Eastern Michigan, to their rookie mini-camp.
Arrowhead Pride has been tracking Holtzclaw for about a year. There were a lot of people who wanted the Chiefs to give him a look. Check out the links below on Holtzclaw.
- Direckshun questions Holtzclaw's ability at the next level.
- Holtzclaw says there is nothing to question.
- Inside the mind of a NFL draft prospect
- Holtzclaw had a "terrific" pro day
- AP talks to him about the upcoming draft
Though it wasn't with the Chiefs, I can say we're all happy to see him get an opportunity.
Update: Changed the title to more accurately reflect his situation with the Lions. -Chris

Ahh freakin' Michigan...
He probably got quite a few offers and chose the Lions since they are close. Oh well, hopefully he’ll do well there.
Good luck, Daniel!
I agree with stag that I kinda hope you get cut and we still get you. :)
I don't have religion. I have Baduizm...and Billie Holiday...and Janet. Actually, just Janet.

Good Luck Daniel!
I know Gun saw the AP petition and took notice. :)

He could end up starting on the inside for Detroit
I’m definitely gonna be cheering for him to make a starting spot. Good luck Daniel!
Best of luck
Would have liked to see him in Red & Gold…

Still could
They may get a brain fart and cut him in camp, then we could pick him up
"But what do I know, I'm AP's new assclown and I’m like an empty room with a large ECHO"
No he's not
Search the site for Daniel Holtzclaw, had some situations that ended up with him doing a couple interviews for AP and has a great drive for the game.
Lots were hoping the chiefs would pick him up so we could get someone that has the mentality to make this team what it’s supposed to be.
In the end, GL man if you read this, and hope you do well in detroit.
He's a self proclaimed "ditch digger"
I love that line from Gun :)
Bill Parcell’s: "You are what your record says you are."
"My job is not to collect talent, but to build a team. Individuals make the Pro Bowl. Teams win championships. That is our goal."—Chiefs GM Scott Pioli.
From Gunther himself
I was supposed to be on the sideline in the Super Bowl, because Bob Kraft said "Here’s a contract, sign it," at midnight in a hotel in Boston. I said "Mr. Kraft, I’m not signing it because I can’t do this job for you. I need to do something else." So I went to Tennessee and coached linebackers. As I reflected on everything I had no one to blame except myself for what happened. I’m not a head football coach. I’m a ditch digger.

Good lord we need a MLB.
I am officially a Daniel Holtzclaw follower now. I hope ol Gunther can whip him into a successful linebacker. Nothing better than a guy that strives to be the best. Now to try and find some video…
he probably no idea the guy existed
after reading us and looking into the guy he probably shit a brick and convinced the brass to sign him immediately.
oh you know it
Shit a brick indeed. And knowing how tightly coiled up gunther is, well, it probably went in as coal and came out a diamond! :)

good luck daniel
while i would have loved to see you in KC, i hope your career is a good one cus you deserve it. if things don’t work out in Detroit, we’d welcome you here.
I don't think he has signed with Detroit yet
I just read an article that said he agreed to go to their rookie camp and that Kansas City is still in the mix. I put it in the fanshots.
I don't know if KC is actually looking at him.
They sure as hell should, though. He’s the perfect fit.

the best support of this is
the fact that the only information i can find regarding him signing him Detroit is out post. i’ve seen several posts referencing ours as their source, but no official source could be found. lets hope everyone.
i saw that too
but when i read it again it doesn’t actually say he signed. it’s worded to sound like he did but it just said that he was added to the team for the rookie camp which supports vince d’s post
