Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Detroit Lions.
As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Lions made it to the NFC Championship Final and have finally built a contender after decades of mediocrity. That being said, this is one of the oldest teams in the NFL, and with their stars being so young, none of them broke into the Top 50. Nevertheless, we always acknowledge that we took the previous season into account.
As always, we present our top five, which (obviously) saw no changes:
1. Barry Sanders
2. Joe Schmidt
3. Bobby Layne
4. Dutch Clark
5. Lem Barney
You can find the entire list here.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
