Winners and losers from 2023 NFL preseason Week 1 (Loser: Established backup QBs
Some of them were just fine; Drew Lock, for example, looked sharp for Seattle, and Tyler Huntley cemented himself as Lamar Jackson's No. 2 in Baltimore. But there were just as many, if not more, incumbent or presumptive backups who struggled to fend off down-the-depth-chart competition. Nate Sudfeld, who's drawn repeated endorsements from Lions brass, threw two picks in the wake of Teddy Bridgewater's arrival. Marcus Mariota, who joined the Eagles to back up Jalen Hurts, was far more mercurial through the air than rookie Tanner McKee. And Brian Hoyer, the Raiders' new No. 2, became an afterthought as rookie Aidan O'Connell coasted through the 49ers in what amounted to a full start.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2023-nfl-preseason-week-1-winners-and-losers-justin-fields-saints-offense-young-wrs-among-standouts/
NFL preseason Week 1 burning questions: Is Russ washed? (Is this Lions draft class legit?
Fun is easy -- the answer is yes. The biggest issue for Detroit this year was shoring up weak spots -- defense mostly -- and closing out/winning games. It was very easy to pan the Lions draft class after Day 1; their first-round picks were a running back and a linebacker. Long term drafting those positions at a high price probably won't work out. But for 2023 the early returns are very promising. Jahmyr Gibbs is a snappier version of D'Andre Swift with the perfect skillset for this personnel group and this offensive scheme. Brian Branch was frequently pegged as a first-round pick ahead of a very unpredictable draft. Detroit grabbed him in the second round and he was flying on Friday. First-round linebacker Jack Campbell was equally encouraging -- if you want one quibble with Detroit, the dousing of Jameson Williams with targets didn't go well. But if these rookies provide this kind of season-long support, the Lions are a legit NFC threat and the offseason hype machine could live up to expectations.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-preseason-week-1-burning-questions-is-russ-washed-is-jordan-love-good-is-justin-fields-leap-en-route/
NFL Preseason Week 1: PFF Team of the Week & Player Awards (3 Lions made the team. DI: Levi Onwuzurike, Detroit Lions. LB: Jack Campbell, Detroit Lions. K/PR: Maurice Alexander, Detroit Lions. ROOKIE OF THE WEEK: LB JACK CAMPBELL, DETROIT LIONS - Early returns on the 18th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft look very promising after his first outing for the Lions. The former Iowa standout was on the field for 25 snaps in total, finishing the game with two tackles resulting in a defensive stop and not allowing a reception in coverage.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-preseason-week-1-pff-team-of-the-week-player-awards-2023
2023 NFL Preseason Debrief, Week 1: Everything to know about rookie debuts, position battles and more (60. Detroit Lions rookie Brian Branch showed up in the preseason opener, like he has throughout camp. Branch's quick development in the slot has allowed the Lions to adjust their safety plans. Chauncey Gardner-Johnson is playing more at deep safety, like he did under Aaron Glenn in New Orleans. Kerby Joseph, Gardner-Johnson and Branch are a dynamic trio. 61. Another promising Lions rookie, LB Jack Campbell, was all over the field in the preseason opener. Even though Campbell played behind Derrick Barnes and Malcolm Rodriguez on Friday, it's hard to imagine the first-round pick not starting opposite Alex Anzalone in Week 1.): https://www.nfl.com/news/2023-nfl-preseason-debrief-week-1-everything-to-know-about-rookie-debuts-positio
