2025 NFL Comeback Watch: 10 players returning from injury (2. ED Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions - Hutchinson was in the midst of a historic campaign before suffering a fractured tibia and fibula in Week 6 against Dallas. The Pro Bowl edge rusher was operating in rare air, recording 72 pass-rush wins — the most ever by a defensive player through the first six weeks of a season in the PFF era. Remarkably, he achieved that total in just five games, as Detroit had a bye in Week 5. Now fully recovered, Hutchinson enters 2025 as a top Defensive Player of the Year candidate and a cornerstone for a Lions team aiming to repeat as NFC North champions.): https://www.pff.com/news/2025-nfl-comeback-watch-10-players-returning-from-injury
Ranking the NFL divisions by strength heading into 2025 (1. NFC NORTH: LIONS, VIKINGS, PACKERS, BEARS - Cumulative over/under win total: 37. The Lions, Vikings and Packers all finished the 2024 season ranked inside the top 10 of PFF’s power rankings. The Bears were the only team in the NFC North to fall outside that range, landing at No. 24. However, with significant upgrades to their interior offensive line — which posted just a 70.1 blocking grade — and sweeping changes to the coaching staff, Chicago is a legitimate dark horse to contend for a wild-card spot. Coaching transitions in Detroit and a quarterback change in Minnesota add some uncertainty, but top to bottom, this division is loaded with competitive rosters. Every NFC North matchup in 2025 figures to be a battle — a true murderer’s row on the divisional slate.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-nfl-divisions-by-strength-2025
One impact offseason acquisition for each NFL team based on PFF Data (Detroit Lions: CB D.J. Reed - Key Metric: At least a 70.0 coverage grade in each of the past six seasons. Detroit has been searching for cornerback stability for several years. Carlton Davis III left for New England in free agency, but D.J. Reed should be able to provide that stability for an otherwise young group. Cornerback production is notoriously volatile, but Reed has managed to earn at least a 70.0 coverage grade in each of the past six seasons. In that same span, Detroit has only had three instances where a cornerback played at least 100 snaps and recorded at least a 70.0 coverage grade.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-one-impact-offseason-acquisition-for-each-nfl-team-based-on-pff-data
2025 NFL season: Projecting performances of quarterbacks who changed teams in offseason (BACKUPS - A whopping 59 quarterbacks started at least one game last year, so even though the list below isn't full of headliners, history suggests some of them will see the gridiron in 2025. Let's run through them quickly. Kyle Allen - Year 8 · Age: 29. Detroit Lions - With Steelers in 2024: 1 game | 100 pct | 19 pass yds | 19.0 ypa | 0 pass TD | 0 INT | 0 rush yds | 0 rush TD | 0 fumbles. Allen feels like an offseason arm, but then again, is Hendon Hooker's job solidified? The Lions leapfrogged him last postseason for Teddy Bridgewater, who had just come out of retirement.): https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-season-projecting-performances-of-quarterbacks-who-changed-teams-in-offseason
Top 2025 candidates for NFL's new OL of Year award (5. Penei Sewell (Lions OT): The stud of Detroit's sterling line, Sewell is still just 24, fresh off his third straight All-Pro nod. A mauler who's missed a grand total of one game in four NFL seasons, he's a candidate to claim this new award as long as he's upright. And the Lions' still-dangerous offensive weaponry should only help his cause.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-announces-new-protector-of-the-year-award-top-2025-candidates-include-eagles-49ers-lions-stars/
Predicting the Best Rookie on Every Team in 2025 (Detroit Lions: Tate Ratledge, OG - Detroit is expected to have competition at both guard spots, and Ratledge should earn one of the two jobs—most likely at right guard, where he started the past three seasons for Georgia. In addition to his bevy of starting experience and a pair of first-team All-SEC honors on his résumé, Ratledge has the size, power, athleticism and competitiveness to be a prominent piece on Detroit’s offensive line as a rookie.): https://www.si.com/nfl/predicting-best-rookie-every-team-2025
