Highest-graded edge defenders from the 2024 NFL season (1. Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions (94.9):  Despite a severe leg injury cutting his season short after just five games, Hutchinson still managed to play just enough snaps to qualify for this list. While it’s a very small sample size, Hutchinson was on pace for a historic 2024 season, putting up a 95.0 PFF pass-rush grade while averaging nine pressures per game. His 45 pressures this season tied for 37th among 132 edge defenders — many of whom played full seasons.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-highest-graded-edge-defenders-2024-nfl-season

2025 NFL offseason: All 32 teams' WR situations ahead of free agency, draft (Detroit Lions - Top WRs under contract for 2025: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Kalif Raymond, Antoine Green.  Key free agents: Tim Patrick (UFA), Allen Robinson (UFA).  St. Brown should remain a star even after Ben Johnson's defection. Few can get open as regularly -- or are as sure-handed -- as ARSB. Williams is coming off a breakout 1,001-yard season. He improved across the board in 2024 and negated most of the negative plays, including a drop rate that fell from 7.1% to 2.2%, per Next Gen Stats. And the good news for the Lions is there remains plenty of room for continued growth for the 2022 first-rounder. Williams' speed is world class, but he can still improve his route-running, which would make him a more significant threat next to St. Brown. Bringing back Patrick, who fit the offense's profile perfectly, should be an option, unless someone throws a multi-year deal his way on the open market -- this would be similar to the way the Lions lost Josh Reynolds a year ago. Detroit eschewed the receiver position in the 2024 NFL Draft, but it is not outside the realm of possibility that the Lions would use a mid-round pick at the position this year after bolstering the trenches early on.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-offseason-all-32-teams-wr-situations-ahead-of-free-agency-draft
