2021 NFL Preseason All-Rookie Team: Patriots' Mac Jones starts at QB, Cowboys LB Micah Parsons headlines on defense (DI LEVI ONWUZURIKE, DETROIT LIONS:  Onwuzurike hadn’t stepped on a football field since 2019, making his appearance on this list even more impressive. It's often hard for a defensive tackle to make an immediate impact because of how physically demanding it is, but Onwuzurike did just that. The Washington product earned an 84.5 overall grade on 43 defensive snaps in two games.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-preseason-all-rookie-team-2021

Ranking potential worst-to-first teams (8. Detroit Lions (2020 record: 5-11.  Odds to win NFC North: +2500):  The Lions have a new coach, a new quarterback and a new attitude that includes biting off knee caps, but that's probably not going to be enough to propel them to an NFC North title. The Lions got outscored by 142 points last year, which was the most in the NFC and the third-worst in the NFL. The Lions were bad last season and they haven't made too many moves this year that would suggest they'll be much better. This team has finished in last place for three straight seasons and it will be mildly shocking if they're able to move up to just third place in 2021, let alone first place.  Jared Goff might be the only person on the planet who thinks the Lions can win the NFC North this year.  Fun fact: The Lions have pulled off a worst-to-first turnaround just one time in franchise history. That lone instance came in 1993 when they won the NFC Central.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-nfls-worst-to-first-candidates-entering-2021-season-can-49ers-rise-in-nfc-west/
