We rarely talk about the Detroit Lions as a team that gets too much credit. Sure there are a handful of national pundits every year who seems to get caught up in some Honolulu Blue Kool-Aid, only to see their bold prediction backfire.
That said, there are certainly more supporters locally who either consistently predict positive outcomes for the Lions or overhype a player or two when it may not be quite as deserved.
Today, we’re going to focus on that latter part. Nationally speaking, there aren’t a lot of Lions players who are given a ton of credit or deemed great players.
