Outlook: Fifteen starters are back for Lions coach Erik DeHaven, including key players at skill positions. Marquis Fruge returns at QB with Garrett Randal a 6'5 key target in the passing game. Newcomer Phil Brice takes over at RB. The offensive line should be improved with former NFL lineman Greg Koch now coaching the linemen. A new stadium is also being built. Though depth is a concern, a lot of players are back from a 7-3 team, and a big year seems likely.
