Yes.  A Pro Bowl selection in 2020, Hockenson has been an all-around tight end -- with ability in the upper echelon of the position -- and safety blanket for every Lions quarterback. He's a key player for the offense to build around moving forward.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/weighing-fifth-year-options-for-2019-nfl-draft-s-first-round-picks-to-exercise-o

St. Brown finished the season hotter than any rookie in NFL history, racking up 51 catches for 560 yards and five scores in his final six games. That’s a good starting point for the receiving corps going forward.  11. T PENEI SEWELL, DETROIT LIONS (PFF overall grade: 77.4):  Sewell turned around what looked like a nightmare into potentially one of the best offensive lines in the NFL in 2022. Through the first five weeks, he had a 59.1 overall grade. Over the final 13 weeks, he earned an 84.4 overall grade and was the ninth-highest graded tackle in the NFL.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-highest-graded-nfl-rookies-week-18-2021

Grades:


Grading first-year head coaches in 2021 (Dan Campbell, Lions - B.  Speaking of trying to change the Titanic's course, say hello to Campbell, a first-year HC tasked with uplifting an entire city that is as football maniacal about its team as it is unconvinced things will ever change for the better. When Campbell said he wanted guys who'd "eat kneecaps," he meant it (proverbially speaking, of course), and the Lions easily and instantly became one of the most competitive teams in the NFL -- period. They destroyed the spread in 2021 and no one wanted to play them because what was once seen as a bye week against the Lions became anything but, and you can ask the Arizona Cardinals to weigh in on that one. The Lions finished 3-13-1 but seven of those losses were close to being victories, and I personally can't wait to see what Campbell does in Year 2.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/grading-2021-first-year-nfl-head-coaches-urban-meyer-self-destructs-dan-campbell-shows-great-promise/
