Branch claimed the No. 2 spot, earning praise from scouts and execs for his versatility, football IQ, and knack for being around the ball. Meanwhile, Joseph — who was left off last year’s list — came in at No. 5 after leading the league in interceptions and locking down First-Team All-Pro honors.
Not bad for a safety duo that wasn’t even getting league-wide respect a year ago.
This ranking is more than just numbers — it’s a sign that Detroit’s defense is gaining serious traction heading into 2025. And with Branch and Joseph holding it down in the secondary, the rest of the league better start taking notice.
