Ranking the Detroit Lions 2022 roster: Backups, role players (40-31)

We’re onto the top half of the Detroit Lions’ 2022 roster in our staff rankings of each player. While not everyone in this range is guaranteed to make the team, the majority of these guys will not only find themselves on the 53-man roster, but play some sort of role this season. Some will be rotational players, some will be special teams contributors, while others may only see the field if there’s a run of injuries at their position. Heck, there’s probably a starter or two in this range as well.

If you look at the players ranked in this range last year, I think you could make a sound argument that this year’s depth appears better.
