Notes: 4 Detroit Lions make Sports Info Solutions’ All-Rookie teams

Last week, two Detroit Lions ended up making PFF’s All-Rookie team. Offensive tackle Penei Sewell and nose tackle Alim McNeill earn the well-deserved honors after promising inaugural season in the NFL.

Analytical group Sports Info Solutions (SIS) released their first and second All-Rookie teams, and the news was even better for the Lions. Four players ended up making their two-team squad, which was more than any other team besides the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have six. The four: Sewell, McNeill, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and kicker Riley Patterson.

The interesting thing about SIS’s list is that it was based on their Total Points metric—although some close decisions were broken via other stats.
