 Eamonn Reynolds |
The Detroit Lions named Eamonn Reynolds as new director of football communications, taking over for Bill Keenist as the club’s top PR employee. Reynolds, who originally joined the Lions in 2012, was hired into a full-time role in 2013 and most recently served as the club’s assistant director of football communications. The moves are the latest in a series of changes to Detroit's PR arm. The team’s director of media relations Matt Barnhart was fired earlier this offseason, and Kevin Anderson, who was bumped up from director of player development to chief of staff, has assumed a large role in handling the media. The Lions finished the 2017 season with a 9-7 record, good for 2nd place in the NFC North.
