Detroit Lions' Jonah Jackson: 'We can be the best' offensive line in the NFL in 2021

Jonah Jackson has high expectations for the Detroit Lions offensive line this fall.

"I think we can be the best (in the NFL)," Jackson said on the final day of mandatory minicamp Thursday. "It’s just a matter of how far we want to go and how we attack each week."

Statistically, there are few measures that accurately judge an offensive line's play, but Jackson said he will be looking at two in particular: How many yards per carry the Lions average rushing the ball, and how well they protect quarterback Jared Goff.

Jackson set an unrealistic goal for the Lions in pass protection, to not allow any sacks.
