Detroit Lions’ Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch are one of the top safety tandems in the league, but their names may not be recognized the way they should be.
At least, that’s what SB Nation’s Dog Farrar thinks, according to his list of the top eight underrated defensive players through the 2024 season.
Farrar explains that while the powerful offense is getting national attention—especially as the Lions make history for having more touchdowns (27) than incompletions (24) over the past six games—the defense is something special, too.
Between Branch and Joseph alone, the duo has 10 interceptions, 19 passes defended, and 83 total tackles.
