Watch the moment Derrick Moore became newest Detroit Lions EDGE

Check out the special behind-the-scenes moment from the Detroit Lions selecting Michigan EDGE Derrick Moore at No. 44 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, including the audio from his gathering of friends and family as general manager Brad Holmes called to inform him of the decision.

In the video shared on X by Michigan football, Moore is seen watching the TV as the Lions trade up in the draft with the New York Jets, and then Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Calvin Johnson announces Moore as Detroit's selection at No. 44 overall.

While the audio from Brad Holmes and head coach Dan Campbell cannot be heard amongst the celebration around Moore, the joyous reaction from the Wolverines EDGE is clearly evident as he grabbed the Honolulu Blue hat from the table in front of him.

Given the Lions' need for another menacing pass rush option to pair alongside fellow Michigan alum, Aidan Hutchinson, Moore should have an immediate impact on the team as the franchise looks to rise to the top of the NFC North division again and make another deep playoff run this season.
