Another ranking of NFL quarterbacks is out, and another ranking reflects the view of Lions quarterback Jared Goff. It’s ranking and list season for NFL coverage, ranking teams, players by position, etc to fill the void.

Despite being a sixth-round pick, Lions rookie linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez may legitimately push to win a starting job right away. If not for being undersized (5-foot-11), Malcolm Rodriguez may have been drafted far sooner than 188th overall (sixth round) in April’s draft. But the Detroit Lions gladly took the former Oklahoma State Cowboy, who was

Chris Simms is unveiling a his 2022 quarterback rankings piece by piece, and Jared Goff has again landed pretty low in the ranking among his peers. Jared Goff lands in some appropriately labeled tiers when people rank NFL quarterbacks that way. Ranking them 1-32 or something similar, he’d probably land in the 20-25 range for
Charles Harris had a breakthrough season for the Lions in 2021, and now he has been tabbed as a fantasy IDP loser after the draft. The Detroit Lions had one of the least productive pass rushes in the NFL last season. But that was no fault of Charles Harris, as the former first-round pick had
In his post-draft NFL power rankings, it’s safe to say Peter King likes the prospects for the 2022 Detroit Lions. Despite finishing with the second-worst record in the NFL last year (3-13-1), the positive buzz around the Detroit Lions has become hard to ignore as it comes from football analysts far and wide. For Lions
It came up on a talk show Monday morning, but there’s no question what the Detroit Lions should do with Calvin Johnson’s jersey number. Calvin Johnson followed in Barry Sanders’ footsteps as a Detroit Lions star who retired early, as he called it a career after just nine seasons. Then the team asked for, and
Lions general manager Brad Holmes offered Chris Long as a comparison for Aidan Hutchinson, and Long himself has acknowledged the comparison. Leading into and after the draft, the pro comparisons for Detroit Lions No. 2 overall pick Aidan Hutchinson were mostly very favorable. With some inside knowledge from his days with the Rams, general manager
Being a Detroit Lions fan is not an easy experience, but these 10 celebrities have acknowledged they root for the Honolulu Blue. With no championships since 1957, and no playoff wins since the 1991 season, being a Detroit Lions fans is a grueling experience that will test your will. That said, the new regime of
Expectations are definitely high for Lions running back D’Andre Swift heading into his third season, and the props keep coming his way. Last season was a “what if” campaign for Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift. As in, what if he hadn’t basically missed five games with a shoulder injury, and had limited touches in
The Detroit Lions’ “best kept secret”, according to Bleacher Report, is…. a defensive player? On their way to 3-13-1 last year, the Detroit Lions had their fair share of struggles defensively. There were some good games, sure (see Week 15-Arizona Cardinals, Week 3-Baltimore Ravens, at least until the end on the latter). But alas, the

It’s clear Jared Goff is not one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but is he one of the worst? Take the early part of his first season with the Detroit Lions, with a stretch where he particularly looked like one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL. Then look at his final five
With a path to significant touches possible, Jamaal Williams is an ideal target for best ball fantasy football. For the first time in seemingly forever, the Detroit Lions had a competent rushing attack in 2021. That included two 600-plus yards rushers–D’Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams. When Swift missed four full games and most of the
The list of things Matt Patricia got wrong is long, but former lineman T.J. Lang has defended the former Detroit Lions head coach on one particular decision. T.J. Lang spent the final two of his 10 NFL seasons with the Detroit Lions, after eight with the Green Bay Packers. His final season, 2018–cut to six
It didn’t make a lot of sense before the offseason, and now it certainly makes no sense for the Lions to be in on Jimmy Garoppolo at a newly proposed cost. The idea the Detroit Lions could pursue a trade for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo isn’t necessarily new, as it first seemed to
Time will tell how he progresses from his ACL tear, but the lead writer for the Lions’ website has made a prediction for when Jameson Williams will make his NFL debut.
