Outlook: Virtually everybody is back, so how good are they? Twenty starters return for coach Nick Junior, including top WR Toby Lepard. The defense should be solid with Zach Pirie and Phillip Thompson at LB. Jose Cardona is the team's top weapon on the defensive line. After going 5-5 last season, the Lions figure to be competitive week in and week out.
