Dart the Next Eli? 1 Rookie on Each NFL Team That Conjures Up a Franchise Star (Detroit Lions: G Tate Ratledge — Kevin Glover. The Lions boast one of the NFL’s better offensive lines, but going back to the last century, their play at tackle and center has been better than at guard. Glover played 12 of his 15 NFL seasons at center and each of his three Pro Bowl nods came at the pivot, but he started 26 games over the 1986–88 seasons at guard. Ratledge is a potentially dominant blocker who, with greater durability, also has the look of a long-time pillar up front.): https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/whos-next-1-rookie-each-nfl-team-conjures-up-former-franchise-star
10 most physical coverage defenders in the NFL in 2024 (6. Carlton Davis III, Detroit Lions (42.3%)
Our second Lion to make the list, Davis heads to New England after one season in Detroit. He doubled his physical-snap total in 2024 from the previous two seasons when he played with the Buccaneers. He allowed a 40.6% completion rate and has surrendered just one touchdown the past three seasons when making contact with opposing receivers.): https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-most-physical-coverage-defenders-2024

2026 NFL Draft: One area every NFL team needs to think about (DETROIT LIONS: WILL AIDAN HUTCHINSON GET BACK TO FORM? Look, it hurts to even type it out. Hutchinson has been on a tear as a pass rusher basically since his junior season at Michigan. Before his season-ending injury in 2024, he boasted an absurd 95.0 PFF pass-rush grade and 38.3% pass-rush win rate — both by far the top marks among edge defenders. All reports indicate that he's good to go for 2025, but it is worth monitoring if he can quickly return to his elite form. The Lions have built their entire pass-rush plan around him, so the hope is that he can pick up where he left off last season.): https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2026-nfl-draft-one-area-think-about-every-team
2025 QB Tiers: Jayden Daniels already in top group (Tier 2: Borderline Stars (8)Jared Goff - Creating something out of nothing isn't his strong suit, and his turnover spree to close 2024 evoked memories of his skittish finish with the Rams, but Goff has also proven to be an increasingly efficient point guard for the Detroit Lions' all-star weaponry. A clean pocket means he's capable of shepherding a shootout with anyone.): https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-2025-nfl-qbs-by-tiers-jayden-daniels-joins-elite-crop-caleb-williams-among-promising-prospects/
The Good, Bad and Ugly From the 2025 NFL Offseason (Bad: Frank Ragnow retiring for the Lions - This has quietly been a very, very tough offseason for the Detroit Lions. After being upset at home in the divisional round by Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders, Detroit lost both of its coordinators, Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn, to head coaching jobs in Chicago and New York, respectively. The Lions also saw Pro Bowl guard Kevin Zeitler leave in free agency for a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans. However, it seemed the extent of the departures was known, until All-Pro center Frank Ragnow shockingly announced his retirement on June 2. Without Ragnow and Zeitler on the interior, the Lions went from having the best offensive line in football alongside the Philadelphia Eagles to having significant questions about 40% of the front. Currently, Detroit is leaning on second-round pick Tate Ratledge to replace Zeitler at right guard. Meanwhile, 2024’s left guard, Graham Glasgow, is sliding over to play center in the absence of Ragnow. Glasgow, 32, has played center before, including in his first tour with Detroit, when he started 16 games in the pivot in ’18. The Lions have enjoyed tremendous continuity in the coaching staff and along the offensive line for years. No more.): https://www.si.com/nfl/the-good-bad-and-ugly-from-the-2025-nfl-offseason
