Kerby Joseph Is Playing Like the Best Safety in Football Right Now
Only four safeties have ever won Defensive Player of the Year in NFL history. The way Kerby Joseph is playing, he’s got a real shot at becoming the fifth.

Forget the two-first-round-pick packages floating around. There’s a path to landing Myles Garrett in Detroit that doesn’t handicap Brad Holmes’ draft magic — and it actually makes sense for both sides.
Penei Sewell drove All-Pro defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons 15 yards into the end zone against his will. That’s not hyperbole — that’s the best player in football doing best-player-in-football things.
Jared Goff is putting up historic numbers and sitting top-three in the MVP race, yet somehow every bit of praise comes with an asterisk. The Lions quarterback can’t catch a clean compliment even when he’s playing some of the best football of his career.
If the Lions were undefeated right now, Jared Goff would be the consensus MVP favorite. Nothing about his play would change — just the narrative around him.
Jameson Williams is facing another suspension, and while the Lions aren’t giving up on him, it’s time for the 23-year-old to stop making excuses. Your agent isn’t babysitting you. Your teammates can only do so much. This one’s on Jamo.
Jameson Williams got himself a two-game suspension, and the hot-take merchants are already lighting their torches. Save it. This Lions team is built different, and two games without J-Mo isn’t moving the needle in that locker room.
The Lions gave Aaron Glenn everything he asked for. Elite talent, Dan Campbell’s full backing, and a defense ready to dominate. Now he’s got to deliver or he’s gone.
Forget Bijan Robinson. Forget the usage debates. Jahmyr Gibbs is the most electric player from the 2023 draft class, and there’s a real argument he’s about to prove he’s the best back in the NFC — yes, over Christian McCaffrey.
Brad Holmes isn’t spinning Jameson Williams’ slow start anymore — he’s flat-out calling it a good thing. The Lions GM says J-Mo’s two years of injuries and suspensions led to ‘tremendous growth,’ and now Detroit’s about to cash in.
