One of the sure signs that football is back is the release of the first depth chart by the Detroit Lions. The team produced the unofficial depth chart in advance of Friday’s preseason opener in Ford Field against the Atlanta Falcons.
I cannot emphasize the “unofficial” part of the depth chart enough. This is more of a reflection on what the team’s PR department and media team sees than anything with real input from the coaches. That’s not just a Lions thing; every NFL team has someone other than actual coaches concoct these weekly depth charts.
