Just some weeks out from coaching camp, the Detroit Lions offensive line holds the highest spot in Professional Soccer Focus’s rankings.
This actually isn’t the unit’s first time atop the listing over the previous few years, however there have been instances the place they’ve dropped to second or third.
“When wholesome, the Lions’ offensive line was arguably the perfect unit within the NFL final season. Proper deal with Penei Sewell was the league’s highest-graded offensive lineman, and Frank Ragnow earned the highest spot amongst facilities,” PFF’s Zoltán Buday writes.
Again in January, the Lions got here in second in Buday’s ultimate 2023 offensive line rankings, so it’s doubtless their offseason strikes helped push Detroit again into the highest spot—mixed with the retirement of Eagles heart Jason Kelce. He notes that whereas the Lions misplaced left guard Jonah Jackson (who went to the Los Angeles Rams of all locations), they signed Kevin Zeitler in free company. The veteran guard ranked fifteenth in PFF grades amongst guards final season.
It’s nice to see the Lions offensive line again within the high spot. Notably, Jeremy wrote about how PFF ranked the defensive position among the many high 5 within the NFL, which is a tad extra shocking.
