Detroit Lions Eye Big Wins at NFL Honors Next Year
Good evening, fans! The Detroit Lions didn’t take home many awards during the 2024 NFL Honors, but the future looks bright with multiple players eyeing potential hardware next year.
The Lions’ historic 15-2 regular season didn’t go unnoticed, and they were well represented in various award categories. Dan Campbell was in the running for Coach of the Year, while both Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson were finalists for Assistant Coach of the Year. Jared Goff even earned a spot as a finalist for MVP.
While Johnson was the only one to claim an award that night, oddsmakers are already projecting a stronger showing for the Lions at next year’s NFL Honors.
DraftKings Sportsbook has Aidan Hutchinson with the best odds to win Defensive Player of the Year, listed at +750. That ties him with Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt for the top spot. Meanwhile, Jahmyr Gibbs is also gaining attention in the race for Offensive Player of the Year, listed at +900—just behind Saquon Barkley (+550). Amon-Ra St. Brown has solidified his position in the conversation too, with the 10th-best odds for OPOY at +2000.
Hutchinson’s path to DPOY in 2024 seemed all but certain before injury sidelined him. In his five games played, Hutchinson tallied 7.5 sacks, putting him on pace for a dominating season. Meanwhile, Gibbs had a standout second season, rushing for 1,412 yards and 16 touchdowns, plus 517 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns. His accomplishments were somewhat overshadowed by Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry’s monster years, but if Gibbs continues his upward trajectory, a run for OPOY in 2025 wouldn’t be a surprise.
With their rising star power and the fifth-best odds to win the Super Bowl next year, the Lions are looking to turn the page and have a much happier February in 2025 than the one they’re wrapping up now. Stay tuned.

Lions WR Forced to Withdraw from Pro Bowl After Injury
There will be no blue hair at the Pro Bowl this year after all.
Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has withdrawn from the event this weekend due to injury, and will be replaced by Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers, as announced by the Giants.
This means that the talented Detroit receiver, who posted 115 receptions and 1,200 receiving yards to earn his third consecutive Pro Bowl selection, will not be attending the annual event in Orlando.
St. Brown becomes the second Lions player to back out of the Pro Bowl. Earlier this week, offensive lineman Penei Sewell also withdrew, with fellow lineman Taylor Decker stepping in as his replacement.
However, Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, Frank Ragnow, Brian Branch, and Jack Fox are still set to participate, along with Decker.
The Pro Bowl games are scheduled to take place from Thursday through Sunday, featuring a skills competition and a flag football game.
