NFL linebacker rankings: All 32 units entering the 2020 NFL season 19. DETROIT LIONS: Last season, Lions linebackers produced the second-worst overall grade (40.7) among the 32 units. Rookie Jahlani Tavai posted the top grade for the unit, at 60.5, and as he did in college, he did his best work in the run game where his 65.9 grade ranked fifth among rookie linebackers. Former first-rounder Jarrad Davis is now in the last year of his contract after Detroit declined his fifth-year option. Davis' three years have been disappointing — he peaked with a 52.8 overall grade as a rookie in 2017, and while he showed signs of life in coverage in 2018, he dropped back to a 32.6 grade last season, fourth-worst in the NFL. Davis has done his best work as a blitzer, grading in the 70s in all three years and amassing 58 total pressures. His explosiveness made him an attractive developmental first-round pick, but it appears that his best fit is as a subpackage blitzer. The Lions signed Jamie Collins from the New England Patriots after he rejuvenated his career with a 75.8 regular-season grade, good for 13th in the league last year. Collins is familiar with the defensive system, and he’s yet another versatile weapon who can play all over the defensive formation while providing one of the better blitz threats in the league. Christian Jones also returns after a disappointing 44.0 overall grade in his second year with the Lions. He’s done his best work in the run game throughout his career, though last season’s 46.5 grade is the worst of his career. Jalen Reeves-Maybin adds depth to the unit after earning a 54.5 grade on 298 snaps last season. Adding Collins is a major boost to this linebacking corps, and they could surprise given that they have several players who have at least played well at some point, though last year was a poor overall performance.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-linebacker-rankings-all-32-units-entering-the-2020-nfl-season
Projecting the most improved player for each NFC team in 2020 (Ken Golladay: NGS shows that Golladay earned the second-most yards on deep targets in the NFL last season (546), which is even more impressive when you consider he averaged the fewest yards of separation on all targets (only 1.9 yards) among those with a minimum of 50 targets. With QB Matthew Stafford returning from an injury that cost him eight games in 2019 and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell projecting to have more run-pass play-calling balance (given Kerryon Johnson returning to health and the selection of D'Andre Swift), it's reasonable to expect Golladay to work with more separation -- and that typically correlates with a better catch rate. Given his deep-ball results even in tough circumstances, the increase in quality targets coming his way drives an increase in forecasted production.): https://www.nfl.com/news/projecting-the-most-improved-player-for-each-nfc-team-in-2020
Ranking the NFL's best wide receivers for the 2020 season from 1-25 (16. Kenny Golladay, Lions: At 6-4, 214 pounds, Golladay is another one of those classic No. 1 big playmakers. The 27-year-old was a long-ball machine and also proved to be one of the best scorers from anywhere at the position. He can go quiet at times, but when he makes noise downfield, it's very loud. (2019 stats: 65 catches on 116 targets, 1,190 yards, 11 TDs, 18.3 yards per reception)): https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-wide-receiver-rankings-2020-top-25/1e274rer4161q17jmffbzmu6oj
