The Detroit Lions continue to be one of the site’s favorites and for good reason. They not only feature 3 of the NFL’s best white players at their position, but have many others on the roster, although not quite as many starters as in year’s past.
Jared Goff enters 2026 after passing for 4,564 yards and 34 touchdowns in 2025. He has thrown for over 4,500 yards and 30 touchdowns in each of his last 3 seasons.
Aidan Hutchinson came back strong last year after a brutal leg injury in 2024 to lead the league with 100 pressures and also had 52 tackles, 14.5 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, 3 pass deflections and an INT.
Jack Campbell comes in after a stellar All-Pro season in 2025 where he had 176 total tackles, 5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 4 pass deflections.
Isaac TeSlaa enters his second season with the Lions after recording 16 catches for 239 yards and six touchdowns in 2025, including several spectacular catches. He had a shaky preseason according to some internet writers, but is still entering 2026 as the starting LWR.
Sam LaPorta enters his fourth season looking to bounce back after dealing with injuries during 2025. Let’s hope Sam can capture the magic of his rookie season where he had 889 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Blake Miller enters 2026 with the tough task of replacing Penei Sewell at right tackle. Blake was a 4 year starter at Clemson and was only the 4th true freshmen to start for Clemson’s o-line since 1972. He was also twice named All-ACC.
