The vibes are extremely positive right now, as the Detroit Lions appear primed for their best season in quite some time. It all makes sense on paper, from the coaching staff to the eventual 53-man roster, as the front office has been intentional about plugging in any gaps and overhauling the areas that needed the most change.
This optimism is leading to a generally high outlook on nearly the entire organization heading into the fall. Unfortunately, even if the team does finally make it back to the playoffs this season, it is unlikely for every single player to live up to their preseason expectations.
