The Detroit Lions’ special teams unit has been a strong point for the team in recent years. In 2022, they ranked sixth in Rick Gosselin’s annual ranking of the 32 special teams units. The unit has been led by coordinator Dave Fipp, who has been instrumental in making the Lions’ special teams one of the top units in the NFL year after year.
Some notable players who have contributed to the unit’s success include Jalen Reeves-Maybin, a standout special teams player who earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl nominations in 2023. The team also has a skilled punt returner in Kalif Raymond, who led the NFL with a 13.2-yard punt return average in 2022.
The Lions have been proactive in addressing their special teams needs. With Fipp at the helm and a talented core of players, the Lions’ special teams unit is poised to remain a strength for the team in the coming season.
