Wide receiver could be deepest position on roster

Last year, the Detroit Lions were the only team in the NFL with two receivers who topped the 1,000-yard receiving mark.

Marvin Jones Jr. (1,101) and Golden Tate (1,003) became the seventh pair of Lions receivers to accomplish the feat in franchise history, and the first since 2014 (Calvin Johnson and Tate). Jones and Tate return this season as Detroit’s No. 1 and No. 2 receivers.

Then there’s Kenny Golladay, who showed terrific flashes of play as a rookie, and is expected to make significant gains in his second season after recording 28 receptions, 477 receiving yards and three scores in 11 games last year.
