The good folks over at Pro Football Focus completed their rankings of every player at every position entering the 2019 NFL season. Three Detroit Lions earned their places on the top-10 lists at their respective positions.
All three play defense, and only one of them began the 2018 season in Detroit. That would be cornerback Darius Slay, who checks in at No. 8 among all CBs entering the season.
The other two are tackle Damon Harrison and EDGE Trey Flowers. Harrison is No. 6 among tackles and Flowers is ninth at EDGE. “Snacks” came to Detroit midway through last season in a trade with the Giants, while Flowers signed as a free agent this offseason after leaving the Patriots.
Not a single Lions offensive player made the top 10 at any position in the PFF projection for 2019.
