With Golden Tate gone and Marvin Jones Jr. battling a knee injury
Levine Toilolo Jersey White , now is the time for Detroit Lions receiver Kenny Golladay. The second-year player leads the team in receiving yards and is coming into his own thus far.He’s also drawn the attention of analytic website Pro Football Focus, who credited both him and Titans receiver Corey Davis as two players living up to their potential. The PFF article does a good job using stats and highlights to illustrate the strides Golladay has made in just a year’s time. For example, Golladay’s big-play potential is obvious by his 15.4 yards per reception average—10th among NFL receivers with at least 40 catches. He’s also been credited with just one drop so far this year, meaning he’s a pretty reliable target when a catchable ball is thrown his way.Tate must have rubbed off on him a little on him because Golladay is also a threat after the ball is already in his hands.“The former Huskies’ receiver dominates with his size and physical ability in contested catch situations

This will probably shock you

Pro Football Focus has the top 2019 free agents at every position. Congrats to long snapper Don Muhlbach, who is the Lions’ nominee for the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award:Justin Rogers’ five observations from Chicago does a great job breaking down the film and why Detroit’s defense gave up a bunch of big plays through the air, but also how the run defense rebounded in a big way. Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week after his big day against the Lions. A’Shawn Robinson was mic’d up for Sunday’s game against the Bears. Check out what he had to say during the game here: We’re now at the point in the offseason where fans are starting to develop some NFL Draft crushes. Players that have outstanding tape and insane production at the college level tend to occupy fantasies of NFL fans as they wonder what that player would look like sporting their favorite team’s colors. But there’s also the opposite phenomenon. Just as quickly as people develop crushes
Frank Ragnow Jersey White , they also start worrying about some of the prospects that have big red flags. Or something you may not see the talented player that others see. Today, let’s discuss some of the players that fall into that latter category. The Question of the Day is:Which top NFL prospect are you hoping the Detroit Lions don’t pick with the eighth overall pick? My answer: I wanted to go with someone that a lot of people are slotting to the Lions, but I just don’t really get it. So my answer is Clemson’s edge defender Clelin Ferrell. Ferrell has the benefit of coming from a Clemson team that has been a factory of dominant defensive lineman, and his production of 21.0 sacks in his past two seasons in undeniably impressive.But when I throw on the tape
Devon Kennard Jersey White , I don’t see the natural pass rusher that many claim him to be. His athleticism doesn’t pop off the film and his bend around the edge doesn’t appear to be all that special to me. That being said, he has the technical hand usage and strength to potentially be a solid run defender, which is admittedly something the Lions covet in their down linemen. I think Ferrell has the opportunity to be a good player in the NFL, but I don’t see greatness in him. And with the eighth overall pick
Womens Theo Riddick Jersey , I just don’t see the value there. Your turn.Tweets from
