The Detroit Lions produced a record-breaking season in 2024, and even after coming up short for their ultimate goal, there are far more positives to take out of last season than negatives. Several players—Jahmyr Gibbs, Jameson Williams, Jack Campbell, and Kerby Joseph, to name a few—took their games to a new level and helped Detroit procure back-to-back NFC North championships for the first time in franchise history.
Yet, not every single player lived up to expectations last year. While there were no real major setbacks at any position group, there were players the Lions relied upon who may have disappointed compared to preseason expectations.
