Not everyone is so bullish on the Detroit Lions and their offensive skill position talent, but Pro Football Focus is high on the hog for the Lions wide receivers. PFF evaluated all 32 WR corps in the NFL for the 2020 season, and Detroit’s package landed in the top 10.
Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola qualify as the seventh-best WR group in the NFL. PFF also notes the battle for the No. 4 spot between newcomer Geronimo Allison, speedy Marvin Hall, big rookie Quintez Cephus and young Travis Fulgham, though they are largely inconsequential in the rankings here.
It’s a fair rating for the wideouts. Golladay took a big step forward in his third season, emerging as a better deep threat and leading the league in touchdown receptions. Jones is a steady performer, one of the most consistent producers on intermediate routes. Amendola quietly had one of the best seasons of any slot receiver in his first year in Detroit, too.
Dallas and Tampa Bay top the list, compiled by PFF’s Steve Palazzolo. The Patriots, Jets and Jaguars are the bottom three in the rankings.
