The 2025 Detroit Lions might not have had the season they envisioned, but they certainly showcased their star power. According to analytics powerhouse PFF, five Lions players made the top-101 list for the 2025 season, with three of them cracking the top-10-a testament to the individual brilliance on the roster.
Kicking things off, Jahmyr Gibbs secured the 47th spot. Gibbs was a force on the field, finishing fifth in the NFL for yards from scrimmage and earning the sixth-highest PFF grade among running backs. His dynamic play was a bright spot for the Lions.
Next up, Amon-Ra St. Brown came in at 17th overall, just shy of the top-10.
With a fourth-place finish in receiving yards for the season, St. Brown's consistent excellence was underscored by a PFF receiving grade over 90 for the fourth straight year.
Now, let’s dive into the top-10 Lions players:
Campbell, the highest-graded linebacker of 2025 according to PFF, also earned first-team All-Pro honors. He led the league in “defensive stops,” outpacing every other defensive player by four-a true game-changer on defense.
Hutchinson dominated the league in pressures, as recognized by both PFF and NFL Pro. His 23.1% pass rush win rate was impressive, trailing only Myles Garrett and Will Anderson Jr. Hutchinson’s relentless pursuit of quarterbacks was a nightmare for opposing offenses.
Sewell, despite missing out on the Protector of the Year award, was PFF’s top-rated offensive lineman in 2025. His standout performance against the Ravens in Week 3, where he earned a 98.7 overall grade, set a new standard for offensive tackles in the PFF era.
While the Rams were the only other team with more than one player in the top-10, the Lions' representation speaks volumes about their individual talent. As for the rest of the NFC North, the number of players each team had in the top-101 paints an interesting picture of the division's competitive landscape.
