Notes: 2021 Detroit Lions receiving corps ranked near bottom of NFL

What goes up, must come down. That’s what they say, right?

Pro Football Focus ranked each NFL’s team’s receiving corps ahead of the 2021 season and the Detroit Lions came in near dead last at No. 31. (The only team below the Lions are the Houston Texans.)

PFF’s Steve Palazzolo explains the roster overhaul was the source of this low ranking. He’s right — the pass-catching unit will look entirely different than just a year ago.

He pointed out something I hadn’t thought of: “They’ve become one of the biggest groups in the league with the additions of 6-foot-4 Tyrell Williams, 6-foot-2 Breshad Perriman and 6-foot-3 Geronimo Allison,” he writes.
