Lions’ DJ Reader, Alim McNeill get no respect from NFL insiders

On Tuesday, ESPN continued their top-10 ranking series with defensive tackles. In case you missed Monday’s debut with the running back position, ESPN polled NFL coaches, executives, and scouts to name their top-10 players at each position, and Jahmyr Gibbs checked in at No. 8.

The Detroit Lions weren’t represented at all when it came to defensive tackles. That not only includes the top 10, but also the players who got an honorable mention and the list of players who received any votes. In total, the ESPN survey results listed 22 different defensive tackles who received votes from league employees.
