NFL bounce-back candidates for 2020: Picking players for all 32 teams (DETROIT LIONS: CB JUSTIN COLEMAN (PFF overall grade in 2019: 60.7): What went wrong: Coleman went from ranking third in PFF coverage grade in the slot in 2017-18 to ranking 36th in 2019. Really, that decline in grade should have been expected given the man-coverage-heavy nature of Matt Patricia's defensive scheme. He saw 55 targets in single coverage in the slot in 2019 — 15 more than any other slot defender — and while he managed to force 10 incompletions on those targets, he also gave up eight explosive plays. He's under more pressure than any other slot defender because of the scheme. — PFF. Outlook for 2020: Coleman was signed as the highest-paid slot corner in the NFL before the 2019 season and there were parts of the year he played like it. But an overall failure on defense led to rough numbers for most of the Lions' secondary, Coleman included. He should also not have to play on the outside much at all this season, which would help. But the key to his bounce-back season will be how the Lions rush the passer. If they can get pressure — a major issue in 2019 — Coleman could have a strong season. If not, the entire defense might be in line to struggle. — Michael Rothstein): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-bounce-back-candidates-2020-picking-players-all-32-teams
NFL's 30 best players over 30: Tom Brady, J.J. Watt not in top 10 (11. Stafford - AB: Stafford's ranking is both a reflection of his stellar play in eight games last season and the fact that he could only play in eight games last season. When healthy, he's unquestionably a top-10 quarterback. In fact, if not for that caveat, he'd almost certainly rank in the top five here, just as he did in our QB Index back in the middle of last season. But as much as we want to celebrate the 32-year-old for his career-best passer rating (106.0), adjusted yards per attempt (9.1) and TD-to-INT ratio (19:5), we just don't know what to expect from him after consecutive seasons dealing with microfractures in his back.): https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-s-30-best-players-over-30-tom-brady-j-j-watt-not-in-top-10
