PFF Linebacker Rankings: The top 32 players ahead of the 2026 NFL season (2. Jack Campbell, Detroit Lions:  The Lions received plenty of flak when they took Campbell in the first round three years ago, but he’s developed into one of the game’s most stout defensive players. Campbell’s overall PFF grade has augmented in every season of his career, culminating in a 90.3 grade that was the best among qualified linebackers in 2025. After receiving a four-year, $81 million extension this summer, the 25-year-old might only continue to improve while being the long-term focal point of Detroit’s defense.):  https://www.pff.com/news/pff-linebacker-rankings-the-top-32-players-ahead-of-the-2026-nfl-season

Breakout Candidates: One Player From Each NFC Team Poised For A Star Turn (Alim McNeill, Defensive Tackle Detroit Lions:  The Lions looked like they had a budding star in the middle of their defense in 2023 when McNeil had five sacks through the first 13 games and was proving to be a tough run-stuffer. But then his season was derailed by a knee injury. The Lions still gave him a four-year, $97 million extension, but the next year he had 3.5 sacks in 14 games before tearing his ACL. He’s presumably healthier now than he has been in three seasons. And with a healthy Aidan Hutchinson and Tyleik Williams alongside him, the Lions' line could be more dangerous than ever. McNeill won’t get a lot of attention from blockers, which could give him the room for his pass rushing numbers to shoot back up.):  https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/breakout-candidates-one-player-from-each-nfc-team-poised-star-turn

How Every NFL Team Can Win the Super Bowl in 2026 (Detroit Lions - Ben Johnson Comes Back:  I hate to say it, but Dan Campbell was right to warn his team after blowing a 24-7 halftime lead in the NFC title game that this was as close as his guys might ever get to winning a Super Bowl. That’s the harsh reality of in the NFL, and Johnson’s departure to Chicago might have been the end of Detroit’s championship window. Instead of striking while the iron was hot, Lions fans are more likely to watch Johnson hoist the Lombardi for their division rivals than to see Campbell bring one home for them.):  https://athlonsports.com/nfl/2026-nfl-season-super-bowl-how-every-team-can-win
