Detroit Lions special teams: Crucial questions at returner, kicker and, maybe, long-snapper

As dismal as the 2020 season was, the Detroit Lions had one of the best all-around special teams units in the NFL last year.

Jack Fox earned second-team All-Pro honors in his first NFL season, and the Lions led the league in blocked kicks (four) and finished third in longtime NFL writer Rick Gosselin's respected special teams rankings.

The Lions changed kickers (Matt Prater) and return men (Jamal Agnew) this offseason, and are under the guidance of a new special teams coordinator (Dave Fipp) for the third time in as many years.
