Three Lions land on ESPN's top 100 players list

The Detroit Lions are moving on up, at least when it comes to ESPN's top 100 NFL players rankings.

The Lions had three players land on the 2018 list, which was unveiled Monday, after having just one player — quarterback Matthew Stafford — make the cut in 2017.

It comes as no surprise Stafford was Detroit's top-ranked player once again at No. 35, making quite the jump from the No. 75 ranking he received last season.

Stafford has been a model of consistency for the Lions, starting 112 straight games and throwing for more than 4,000 yards in seven consecutive seasons.
