The Detroit Lions aren’t just a feel-good story anymore—they’re a powerhouse, and Pro Football Focus has the receipts to prove it.
In PFF’s latest rankings of the top 32 players at every position, the Lions made a loud statement. Multiple Detroit players landed in the top 10 at their spots, underscoring just how deep and well-rounded this team has become.
Here’s a quick rundown of the Lions’ top-ranked stars:
QB Jared Goff – QB9
RB Jahmyr Gibbs – RB4
WR Amon-Ra St. Brown – WR4
TE Sam LaPorta – TE5
OT Penei Sewell – OT6
EDGE Aidan Hutchinson – EDGE5
LB Jack Campbell – LB8
CB D.J. Reed – CB6
S Brian Branch – SAF5
S Kerby Joseph – SAF6
That’s ten players in the top 10 at their position. Ten. That kind of league-wide recognition doesn’t happen by accident.
The addition of D.J. Reed to an already loaded roster shows that Detroit isn’t just maintaining its talent base—it’s actively improving. Reed came in at No. 6 among all cornerbacks in the NFL after signing a three-year deal this offseason.
And it’s not just the flashy skill positions. The Lions’ strength runs from the trenches to the secondary, with names like Sewell, Hutchinson, Branch, and Joseph all earning respect for their production.
This team isn’t built to just compete in the NFC North. They’re built to contend for it all.
The message from PFF is clear: Detroit is deep, dangerous, and ready for the spotlight.
