2017 Position Breakdown: Wide receivers

The good: There is a lot for Lions fans to be happy about when it comes to the wide receiver position in Detroit.

Marvin Jones Jr. has come into his own as a Lion, and has quickly become one of the best deep threats in the game. Jones finished the year with 61 catches for 1,101 yards and a team-leading nine touchdowns.

Jones’ receiving totals included a career single-season high 15 catches of 25-plus yards, which tied for the third-most in the NFL. His average of 18.0 yards per catch ranked second in the league.
