The Grit Index has returned and we’re unveiling the results in a new series of articles. We have already examined the grittiest offensive skill players and offensive linemen in the 2025 NFL Draft class, and next up, we take a look at which interior defensive linemen should be on the Detroit Lions radar.
In a recent article, we detailed how our process of developing the Grit Index has evolved over the past three offseasons, but the CliffsNotes version is that we’ve expanded our tiers from three to five and have scaled out the scoring on a 0-100 grading system.
