Overview
- Multiple outlets report Detroit has reached an agreement in principle with former Cardinals coordinator Drew Petzing, with final terms being completed.
- Petzing is expected to call plays in Detroit, a shift from late 2025 when Dan Campbell assumed play-calling after removing Morton from the role.
- He ran Arizona’s offense from 2023 to 2025, posting a top-eight unit by EPA in 2024 before a 2025 decline tied to injuries and offensive line issues.
- Before Arizona, Petzing coached quarterbacks and tight ends with the Browns and worked with the Vikings; he also has longstanding ties to ex-Lions OC Ben Johnson.
- The move follows Jonathan Gannon’s firing in Arizona and comes as Detroit seeks to steady a talented offense that slipped in consistency and faces offensive line questions.
