Martin looking to take next step in his development
When the Detroit Lions drafted Brodric Martin out of Western Kentucky in the third round (No. 96 overall) last year, general manager Brad Holmes talked about his rawness, upside and the need for him to develop.
“He just has, like we say, he’s got a lot of meat on the bone,” Holmes said at the time. “He’s got a lot of upside. He’s a big man, he’s athletic, he plays hard. He chases to the ball. I don’t think I’ve seen many 330-, 340-pound guys run to the ball like he does and so when you get that – he’s got some rawness, but we’re really excited about his upside.”
Players develop at different rates. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs and tight end Sam LaPorta came into the NFL this year and were instant impact players in their first seasons, but others may take longer to show their true impact, like linebacker Derrick Barnes and safety Ifeatu Melifonwu.

Metro Detroit business owners frustrated with lack of traffic during Lathrup Village road construction
LATHRUP VILLAGE, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) – A stretch of road work in Lathrup Village is causing massive headaches for local businesses along Southfield Road.
A resurfacing project of Southfield Road between 11 Mile and 12 Mile roads began on April 29. Jay Lee, who has owned Munson Cleaners for 25 years, said his business hasn’t been as busy as it usually is this time of year.
“It’s just a disaster right now,” Lee told CBS News Detroit.
He said although the project began just over two weeks ago, it hit him straight in the wallet.
“At least 30% of the gross. So it does impact my employees, myself and the supplies, you know, everything,” Lee said.
Just across the street from Munson Cleaners, the owner of 44 Burrito said the dinner rush has become nearly obsolete since the project began.
“Business has dwindled down. I would say 80%. We’re all looking at it as a disaster. What do we do?” said Tara Young, the owner of 44 Burrito.
Young said she recently moved her restaurant from Detroit to Lathrup Village in December. The construction put her in a position where she’s had to pause other projects she had planned to use those funds for marketing as she is looking for ways to get their name out there due to a lack of foot traffic.
“Now, we’re just doing our advertisement under social media, so our Instagram, Facebook, TikTok things, like that. But it’s still dealing with the traffic. It’s still an inconvenience for people,” Young said.
CBS News Detroit contacted the Oakland County Road Commission on Wednesday. At the time this article was published, we hadn’t heard back.
According to the commission, the project is expected to be completed by the early summer.
