The 2025 Detroit Lions season may not have gone as the team wanted, but it only reaffirmed their star power, according to analytics site PFF. Late last week, PFF revealed their top-101 players from the 2025 season, and the Lions had five players make the list, all within the top-50. More impressively, though, they had three players make PFF’s top-10 players of the 2025 season.
First up on the list was Jahmyr Gibbs, who came in at 47 on the list. Gibbs, who finished fifth in the NFL in yards from scrimmage last year, was sixth in PFF grade among all running backs last year.
Receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was next on the list, barely missing the top-10 by placing 17th overall. Fourth in receiving yards in 2025, St. Brown produced a PFF receiving grade of 90+ for his fourth consecutive season.
The three top-10 Lions players were as follows:
- LB Jack Campbell: Eighth
- EDGE Aidan Hutchinson: Seventh
- RT Penei Sewell: Third
Campbell was PFF’s highest-graded linebacker of 2025, and he’s got the first-team All Pro to go with it. He led the NFL in PFF’s “defensive stops,” recording four more than any other defensive player in football.
Hutchinson led the NFL in pressure, both according to PFF and NFL Pro. In addition to that, PFF credits him with a 23.1% pass rush win rate, trailing only two other players (Myles Garrett and Will Anderson Jr.).
Sewell, despite getting snubbed for Protector of the Year at the NFL Honors in February, was PFF’s highest-graded offensive lineman in 2025. In their rankings, PFF noted that his 98.7 overall grade in the Lions’ Week 3 win over the Ravens was the highest score ever recorded for an offensive tackle in the PFF era.
Only the Rams had more than one player in the top-10 (Puka Nacua, Matthew Stafford).
As for the rest of the NFC North, here’s how many players each team had in the top-101:
- Bears: 3 (Darnell Wright, Colston Loveland, Joe Thuney)
- Packers: 3 (Jordan Love, Micah Parsons, Xavier McKinney)
- Vikings: 1 (Justin Jefferson)
