With preseason football fast approaching, it’s the perfect time to stir debate by ranking the NFC North’s wide receiver and tight end groups — and that’s exactly what the latest Pride of Detroit PODcast has done.
The crew dives into whether the Minnesota Vikings’ star receiver Justin Jefferson gives them the division’s top pass-catching unit or if the Detroit Lions’ depth and talent push them ahead. They also question the hype surrounding the Packers’ unproven receivers.
Along the way, the podcast looks at the state of the Lions’ own receiving corps for 2025: How much do veterans like Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond have left in the tank? Will they be challenged by younger players like Isaac TeSlaa? And when will Detroit need to make a decision on longtime left tackle Taylor Decker’s future?
Plus, the team discusses linebacker Alex Anzalone’s continued high-level play and what to expect from the Lions’ offense this season.
