Detroit Lions Early 2024 NFL Power Ranking
Early 2024 NFL power rankings have Detroit Lions as elite team.
Transcript
00:00 John, the Lions are one of the top teams in the early power rankings for the 2024 NFL
00:05 season.
00:06 Very exciting times ahead for the Lions perhaps, with that being said, John.
00:10 What do you make of that being the KC's early big-time expectations for the Lions going
00:14 into next season?
00:16 Yeah, Vito.
00:17 Look, the Lions no longer are going to fly under the radar.
00:21 In the way too early 2024 power rankings, several publications have the Lions ranked
00:26 third behind the Chiefs and the Ravens.
00:28 And boy, when you look at it, this Detroit football team made it to the Final Four all
00:32 the way to the NFC Championship game only to fall short.
00:36 And you look at it, I think a lot of the reason the NFL world is confident in the Detroit
00:40 Lions is they have an offense that is only going to get better with the likes of Sam
00:45 Laporta and Jameer Gibbs and Jamison Williams carrying the load along with Amon Ross St.
00:51 Brown.
00:52 Ben Johnson returning I think puts a lot of emphasis on that offense, a lot of confidence
00:57 that Jared Goff and that offense are going to repeat the success that they had in 2023.
01:02 And when you have Brad Holmes, who is a masterful talent evaluator, going into another draft,
01:08 another free agency period, you expect that the team is going to improve, especially in
01:14 key targeted areas like the defense, most notably the interior of the defensive line
01:19 and cornerbacks.
01:21 So with an improved roster, Dan Campbell, another year at the helm, you recognize an
01:26 offense that's prolific.
01:28 There's a lot of reasons for this football team to have a lot of respect nationally.
01:33 And I think that third place ranking is warranted based on the football team finishing in the
01:37 Final Four and the expectation that Brad Holmes is going to drastically upgrade this roster.
01:43 John, thanks for all the time.
