2020 Detroit Lions Awards: Special Teams Player of the Year

Detroit Lions special teams in 2020 was the one aspect of the team that was not only reliable, but they were, at times, deadly. Detroit finished the season 11th in special teams DVOA and third in Rick Gosselin’s special teams rankings. Of course, because the Lions can’t have anything nice, their special teams coordinator was fired midseason due to going rogue and calling a failed fake punt. But I digress.

Detroit’s special teams unit featured one of the best punters in the league, one of the best kick/punt return specialists, and perhaps the most clutch kicker of all time.
