Many expected receiver Calvin Johnson to make it and alas he was named a starter for the NFC squad.
Many expected rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to be good, but not Pro Bowl starter good. However that’s what 60 tackles, 9 sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery for a touchdown will get you.
I don’t think anyone expected this kind of impact when training camp started.
As a Lions fan it gets me somewhat excited about the team’s future. Hopefully they can get a few more impact players and translate some of this production into more wins.
