2024 NFL season: One player to root for from each NFC team (Detroit Lions - Frank Ragnow:  All Ragnow does is buckle his chin strip and perform at an elite level year after year, often playing through injuries -- including a throat fracture a few seasons ago, which sounds scary and excruciating. Instead of bowing down to him all offseason, some folks had the nerve to speculate after the Lions’ NFC Championship Game collapse that he might be retiring, which did not sit well with Frank. "I was frustrated," he told the Detroit News last month at an event for his Rags Remembered Foundation. "It was kind of annoying. All I said was I'm going to need some time to heal up the day after the game. That was my intention and then it took off, which was kind of annoying, but it is what it is." Despite being PFF’s highest or second-highest graded center in three of the past four seasons and a charitable person off the field on top of that, Ragnow still doesn't get the widespread respect he deserves. I’m rooting for that to change, pronto.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2024-nfl-season-one-player-to-root-for-from-each-nfc-team

NFL's best duos at every position: Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence combine for top EDGE pair (INTERIOR DEFENDER: D.J. READER AND ALIM MCNEILL, DETROIT LIONS - The Lions, after adding Reader to their defensive front this offseason, have a duo that looks like the NFL’s best on paper heading into the 2024 season.  Reader ranked 10th at the position with a 75.3 PFF run-defense grade last season. He is a better pass-rusher than he’s given credit for, too, with his 79.1 PFF pass-rushing grade ranking 14th at the position.  McNeill has a strong case as being the most underrated interior defender in the NFL right now. His 86.8 PFF overall grade ranked eighth at the position last season, and he has improved every year.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-best-duos-every-position-micah-parsons-demarcus-lawrence
