Ranking the eight last-place NFL teams by their chances to go from worst to first in 2021 (7. DETROIT LIONS:  The Lions enter an offseason where their organization is undergoing wholesale changes. Detroit will head into the 2021 campaign with new faces at general manager (Brad Holmes), head coach (Dan Campbell) and quarterback (Jared Goff). On top of that, their top three receivers from last season — Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola — are all scheduled to be free agents this offseason.  It’s not as if this roster is bereft of talent. There’s a strong argument to be made that coaching was the biggest issue in Detroit this past season, but there are still questions about how this roster will fare next season.  Goff has historically struggled when asked to produce off schedule. Since 2017, his passing grade drops from 93.3 in a clean pocket (ninth) to 40.9 when pressured (23rd). There’s a good chance he is asked to produce more outside of structure in Detroit than he was in Sean McVay’s offense in Los Angeles, and that could lead to problems for the Lions offensively. Additionally, new defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will be tasked with reshaping a Detroit defense that has consistently been one of the NFL's worst in recent years. They should see improved play from 2020 first-round pick Jeffrey Okudah in a healthy second season, but the Lions still need to find a consistent pass rush and additional help in the secondary. All of that turnover and the questions still surrounding the talent on the team make it tough to see them jumping to the top of the NFC North in 2021.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-eight-last-place-nfl-teams-worst-to-first-2021
