Top candidates for Lions breakout players in 2022

Which Detroit Lions players are good bets to break out in the 2022 season?

Cue up “Breakout” by the Foo Fighters for appropriate background music…

Rookies are excluded here, though I will cop to believing that third-round safety Kerby Joseph is going to have a very big positive impact on the Lions secondary. Free agency newcomers are also left out because the obvious implication of signing a guy like DJ Chark is that he will have a breakout season (why else would you sign him for that money?). These are focused on returning players.

Here are the top candidates for the Lions players who take a big step forward in 2022.
