Penei Sewell is the most valuable offensive tackle over past two seasons:  https://lionswire.usatoday.com/2024/07/18/penei-sewell-lions-pff-offensive-tackle-most-valuable-player/





Five NFC QBs under most pressure for 2024 season (Honorable mention: Milder pressure - Bryce Young (Panthers): New coach Dave Canales could be the perfect partner for the 2023 No. 1 pick. Still, Young has plenty to prove after a rookie year marred by poor protection and reaction time, not to mention his unprecedently small size. Carolina is banking on a second-year leap.
Jared Goff (Lions): Visibly resilient as the figurehead of a balanced Detroit offense during the Lions' storybook march to the NFC title game, Goff now faces the pressure of sustaining Motown's sudden excellence. He's at least got the weapons to maintain good numbers.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/five-nfc-quarterbacks-under-most-pressure-entering-2024-nfl-season-daniel-jones-dak-prescott-headline-list/

Every NFL team's biggest question mark entering 2024 (NFC North - Chicago Bears: Edge rusher (other than Montez Sweat).  Detroit Lions: Secondary.  Green Bay Packers: Back seven.  Minnesota Vikings: Interior defensive line (and maybe quarterback). Detroit signed Cam Sutton earlier this offseason, then cut him in the wake of his arrest. Then the Lions selected Terrion Arnold in the draft, but for a defensive back room that was so friendly late last season, it would have been nice to get more reinforcements beyond him and Carlton Davis. Counting on a rookie DB to play at a really high level is dicey, even if he was a top prospect.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/every-nfl-teams-biggest-roster-hole-or-question-mark-entering-2024-season-browns-qb-situation-still-concern/

Predicting Which NFL Rookies Will Have the Biggest Impact This Season (Detroit Lions: Terrion Arnold. The No. 24 overall pick has the chance to start right away for the Lions. After being one of the league's worst pass defenses in 2023, they revamped their secondary this offseason. His instincts and fearless mentality suggest he'll acclimate quickly, and he has the potential to be the lockdown corner the Lions’ defense lacked in recent years.

Detroit Lions represented on list of top-100 pro athletes since 2000:  https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/detroit-lions-top-100-pro-athletes-2000/c1618e2b50262fb1c9501344

1 Position Battle To Watch for All 32 Teams in NFL Training Camp: Russell Wilson vs. Justin Fields, Bills’ WR Room, and More (Detroit Lions: Wide Receiver - Following Josh Reynolds’ departure this offseason, the Detroit Lions need to find a new WR3 for Jared Goff to target. Reynolds served as one of Goff’s favorite targets, and Kalif Raymond appears to be the early favorite to replace him in 2024. Donovan Peoples-Jones showed flashes at times, though, and could win the battle over Raymond.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/position-battle-32-nfl-teams-2024/
