For this exercise, we gave Lions fans five options to choose from to answer this question—LT Taylor Decker, NT Roy Lopez, EDGE Al-Quadin Muhammad, LB Alex Anzalone, and CB Amik Robertson—and then asked them to further explain their vote in the comment section. But before we get to that point, let’s take a look at the results:
Decker has held down the left side of the Lions’ offensive line for the past decade, and with the importance of the offensive line in the Lions system, it’s not overly surprising that he tops the list. His only real challenger was Anzalone, who had led the defense for four seasons before passing the torch to Jack Campbell last season. Outside of Damone Clark, the Lions haven’t added to the linebacker position, so Anzalone getting nearly a third of the vote also meets expectations.
Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Detroit Lions fans and fans across the country. If you want to get these surveys emailed to you weekly, you can sign up here.
