Expectations for the Detroit Lions defense are certainly on the rise. The unit improved as the 2022 season went along, but there is obviously still a lot of room to grow.
And despite those increased expectations, there is still a fair point to be made about the defensive roster: a clear lack of superstars. The Lions had four Pro Bowlers last year, and they call came on the offensive side of the ball. In fact, the Lions don’t have a single player on their entire defensive roster who has ever made a Pro Bowl.
