Every now and then, I see nonsense about the Detroit Lions’ Super Bowl window closing. And while it’s true that general manager Brad Holmes’ job will get more difficult with less draft capital and more costly contracts to balance, it bears repeating just how good and young the core of the Lions’ personnel is.
Thankfully, PFF did this masterfully by listing their top 25 players under 25 years old. The list features five total Lions players, including three in the top 10... including the player who landed first on the list. Did you realize that Penei Sewell—entering his fifth NFL season—is still just 24 years old?
