After adding seven draft picks and signing nine undrafted rookies, the Detroit Lions are shaping up for what could be a crucial 2025 season. Here’s an early look at how their 53-man roster might stack up:
Quarterbacks (2)
Jared Goff
Hendon Hooker
Running Backs (4)
David Montgomery
Jahmyr Gibbs
Sione Vaki
Craig Reynolds
Wide Receivers (6)
Amon-Ra St. Brown

Brock Wright
Kenny Yeboah
Offensive Line (9)
Frank Ragnow
Christian Mahogany
Taylor Decker

Veteran Graham Glasgow could be the surprising odd man out as the team looks to get younger and more consistent in pass protection.
Defensive Line (5)
DJ Reader
Levi Onwuzurike
Roy Lopez
Mekhi Wingo
Tyleik Williams
Alim McNeill is expected to miss the start of the season but could return midway. Brodric Martin’s spot appears to be in jeopardy if he doesn’t show more consistency.

Josh Paschal
Al-Quadin Muhammad
Ahmed Hassanein
Linebackers (6)
Alex Anzalone
Jack Campbell
Derrick Barnes
Grant Stuard
Trevor Nowaske

Malcolm Rodriguez’s status remains uncertain due to injury and he could begin the season on an injured list.
Cornerbacks (6)
D.J. Reed
Terrion Arnold
Ennis Rakestraw
Amik Robertson
Khalil Dorsey
Rock Ya-Sin
Although the Lions also signed Avonte Maddox, early projections suggest Maddox may not make the final roster.
Safeties (4)
Kerby Joseph
Brian Branch
Dan Jackson
Loren Strickland
Special Teams (3)
Jake Bates (Kicker)
Jack Fox (Punter)
Hogan Hatten (Long Snapper)
