Lions voted by NFL coaches and execs as team most likely to fall short of expectations in a survey from The Athletic

The Detroit Lions are confident in their deep receiving corps that should serve them well heading into the 2025 NFL season.

That’s certainly the expectation, coming off a 15-win season. Campbell believes his Lions have what they need to contend again in 2025. Here’s why.

The Lions added a slew of talent in the 2025 offseason to support their Super Bowl aspirations. Here are the five players you should know:

Despite having the opportunity to keep 53 players, the Lions elected to keep only 50 on their initial roster, a move that is deemed somewhat unusual for NFL teams. But the Lions don’t always operate within typical expectations, and over the years, they have established a standard of play that they’re unwilling to compromise on.

Tyleik Williams, the Lions' first-round pick, is expected to start at DT for at least the first half of the season with Alim McNeill out with injury.

For Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, 2025-25 expectations are high, after his record-breaking season last year.

The Lions are fairly healthy right now at the defensive tackle position with DJ Reader, Tyleik Williams, Roy Lopez, Pat O'Connor, and Chris Smith. Thus, Wingo may be an inactive early in the season, which would give him some ramp-up time.
