Secondary rankings entering the 2021 NFL season (30. DETROIT LIONS: If Detroit’s secondary is to pan out as anything other than one of the worst units in the NFL, it will need bounce-back seasons from several players. Jeffrey Okudah is at the forefront of that after leading all cornerbacks in yards allowed per coverage snap as a rookie (2.3). Okudah surrendered just 0.8 yards per coverage snap in his Ohio State career by comparison. The list extends to free agent acquisition Quinton Dunbar, whose overall grade fell nearly 40 points from 2019 to 2020. Tracy Walker is another player who has proven capable of much better play than the 51.0 PFF grade next to his name in 2020. It’s just a matter of how those players look in Aaron Glenn’s new defense.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-32-nfl-secondaries-entering-2021-season
Linebacker corps rankings entering the 2021 NFL season (28. DETROIT LIONS: Jamie Collins enjoyed his first solid season outside of New England in 2020 for the Lions, and with the scheme only getting more player-friendly from a year ago, we might expect him to be even better in 2021. Collins forced three fumbles, matching his total from 2019, and has allowed two touchdowns in coverage over the past two years. It will be more of a lottery next to him, with little in the way of proven quality. Alex Anzalone might have the best play on his resume, but he's an injury concern and hasn’t shown that best play in some time. Jahlani Tavai earned just a 32.1 overall PFF grade last season.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-all-32-nfl-linebacker-units-entering-2021-season
Defensive line rankings entering the 2021 NFL season (24. DETROIT LIONS: Detroit’s defensive line unit finished the 2020 season ranked 30th in PFF grade, ahead of only the Vikings and Texans. Several offseason additions on the interior — such as Michael Brockers, Levi Onwuzurike and Alim McNeill — along with the return of a healthy Trey Flowers should improve matters in 2021, but the Lions still have a ways to go to get back to average. It’s easy to forget, given how bad Detroit’s defense has been these past two seasons, that Flowers is one of the better defensive linemen in the league when healthy. He is coming off four straight seasons with overall grades of at least 80.0.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-all-32-nfl-defensive-line-units-entering-2021-season
