REPORT: Detroit Lions head coach just announce a devastating news….
The Detroit Lions are likely as good as they’ve ever been in the Super Bowl era. In 2023, the team reached the NFC Championship for just the second time in franchise history, but after locking up some of their premier players to long-term contracts, it doesn’t appear their success will come to an end anytime soon.
With that in mind, the Lions have some promising young players who have a solid trajectory to be great. Of course, winning the franchise’s first Super Bowl could go a long way in solidifying those resumes. Getting more than one would be even more impressive.
Overall, the Detroit Lions have 22 Hall of Famers, though most are from the 90s and later outside of Calvin Johnson. With that in mind, we are only looking at current Detroit Lions as of the 2024 season, so we won’t be counting Matthew Stafford, who will no doubt be enshrined one day.
WR Amon-Ra St. Brown
For any wide receiver, reaching the Pro Football Hall of Fame is hard. There is a considerable backlog at the position, and as players improve at the position and set new standards, those players are beginning to get overlooked for modern performers.
Amon-Ra St. Brown has a chance, but it won’t be easy. Many don’t see him as a top-5 receiver in the league at the moment, which isn’t a truly unfair opinion.
However, St. Brown has drastically improved his numbers in each of his three seasons, which have always ranked near the top of the league. While he doesn’t make the flashiest one-handed catches of all time, his production is rather absurd, and the longer he keeps it up, the more recognition he’ll earn.
For many right tackles, it seems near impossible to garner the respect to be considered a Hall of Fame talent. Being the best right tackle is not viewed as equivalent to being one of the best left tackles in the game.
However, Penei Sewell has made the argument as one of the best players on his team and one of the best right tackles in the NFL since he first took the field in 2021. He’s proved his versatility on a variety of occasions, including catching a 9-yard touchdown pass in 2022.
