2023 NFL Preseason: Are these players worth the hype? (IS BRIAN BRANCH THE DETROIT LIONS’ BEST DEFENDER - When you look at plays like this, you can’t help but echo the above statement. The closing speed and power Branch exhibits are what coaches dream of. He has elite traits for the position and hails from the best-coached team in college football.  You have his teammates giving high praise about what he’s doing in camp, and all reports from the media indicate that he’s been exceptional and potentially already the Detroit Lions‘ best defender.  He’s played just 16 snaps this preseason and sports a 76.7 overall grade. The Lions have asked him to play in man coverage on nine of his 12 coverage snaps, and he’s allowed just two catches for 5 yards.  Verdict: Buying, with the caveat that Aidan Hutchinson still exists. Branch was a top-20 prospect in the NFL draft, and all the noise he’s made this summer has only strengthened that conviction. Hutchinson was a top-three prospect in 2022, so time will tell who becomes the better player, but the early signs show the Lions have knocked it out of the park in recent drafts.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2023-nfl-preseason-are-these-nfl-players-worth-the-hype
