Who Are the Most Underrated Players in the NFL? One Underappreciated Player for All 32 Teams (Detroit Lions: Alex Anzalone, Linebacker - Alex Anzalone likely gets voted as having the best hair on the Lions by fans. But he plays like his hair is on fire. The fiery linebacker has delivered back-to-back 120-tackle seasons in the Motor City. Additionally, Anzalone has produced consecutive seasons of seven tackles for loss and six pass breakups.): https://www.profootballnetwork.com/who-are-the-most-underrated-players-in-the-nfl-one-underappreciated-player-for-all-32-teams/
Which NFL Players Could Have Comeback Seasons in 2024? 1 Bounce-Back Candidate for All 32 Teams (Detroit Lions: Marcus Davenport, EDGE - Davenport was coming off a nine-sack season in 2021 with the New Orleans Saints two years ago. Now, after a struggling first season with the Lions, Davenport could be the kind of player that Detroit needs to improve its mediocre defense.): https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-comeback-seasons-2024-bounce-back-candidate/
NFL's top 10 offenses in 2024? 49ers, Chiefs headline my prediction; don't sleep on Packers, Texans, Colts (3. Detroit Lions - SIGNATURE STRENGTH: The offensive line. This unit is the soul of Dan Campbell’s salty, GRIT-tastic Lions -- and might be the best offensive line in football, with a trio of established studs leading the way. Still only 23 years old, right tackle Penei Sewell just earned first-team All-Pro honors and became the highest-paid offensive lineman in football. Frank Ragnow received second-team All-Pro honors last season and could be the league’s best center following first-teamer Jason Kelce’s retirement. And despite having never earned All-Pro or Pro Bowl honors, Taylor Decker is old faithful at left tackle -- the longest-tenured Lion on the entire roster. At guard, Detroit lost Jonah Jackson to a lucrative free-agent market at the position, but the Lions should be just fine after re-upping Graham Glasgow and adding steady veteran Kevin Zeitler. For an offense that relies on consistently pounding the rock and keeping Jared Goff comfy in the pocket, this line is the lifeblood. WORRYING WEAKNESS: The wide receivers not named Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions have a certified WR1 in St. Brown, who ranked top four last season in catches (119), yards (1,515), touchdowns (10) and yards after catch (668), effectively putting the “slot-only” narrative to bed by cooking corners inside and outside. But beyond the Sun God, Detroit’s receiver room lacks proven production. Obviously, this is somewhat mitigated by Sam LaPorta immediately emerging as one of the NFL’s best receiving tight ends, but the Lions still need a secondary threat at WR. Josh Reynolds, who had a surprising number of big catches (as well as a few critical drops) over the last two seasons, is now in Denver. Kalif Raymond is an undersized playmaker but not a consistent contributor, while Donovan Peoples-Jones seems to top out as quality depth. So, yes, all Honolulu Blue backers know exactly where this is going: Jameson Williams could be the hinge player for the 2024 Lions. The speed merchant whom Brad Holmes aggressively targeted in the first round of the 2022 draft heads into Year 3 as a lightning-rod figure in the Motor City. His rookie campaign was mostly a wash due to a college knee injury and then he missed the first month of last season due to a gambling suspension. When on the field, Williams has mixed stunning drops with sensational home runs. If Jamo can even out his play, consistently providing Detroit with a dangerous deep threat, Ben Johnson will force opponents to defend every blade of grass. And in that scenario, this lofty ranking might be too low.): https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-s-top-10-offenses-in-2024-49ers-chiefs-headline-my-prediction-don-t-sleep-on-packers-texans-colts
2024 NFL linebacker unit rankings: Jets and 49ers take the top spots (22. DETROIT LIONS - The rookie learning curve for linebackers is tough, so Jack Campbell’s first-year struggles shouldn’t be much of a cause for concern. It’s just a matter of how quickly he can improve in his second season after earning a 75.8 PFF run-defense grade and a 35.3 coverage grade. Slotting in next to Campbell, Alex Anzalone is coming off the highest-graded season of his career (69.8) in his seventh NFL campaign.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-2024-linebacker-unit-rankings-new-york-jets-san-francisco-49ers
