With a small lull in training camp, it’s time to pick back up our series ranking the Detroit Lions roster from 89 to 1. If you missed out on the first four installments of the series, this is how it works. We polled six members for the Pride of Detroit staff—myself, Erik Schlitt, Ryan Mathews, John Whiticar, Alex Reno, and Jerry Mallory—to rank every player who was on the roster on July 15 from 89 to 1. From there, we gathered the rankings from all six staffers and averaged them.
Now we’re unveiling the master list 10 at a time, all the while comparing it to last year’s list and giving some analysis along the way.
