Dan Campbell places third in the coach of the year voting; the Lions are not given any trophies.
ALLEN PARK – – The Detroit Lions had a lot of mentors and players up for enormous honors on Thursday night, at the end of the day left with nothing at the NFL Respects show in Las Vegas.
Lead trainer Dan Campbell completed a far off third in mentor of the year casting a ballot, while Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs completed third and fourth for hostile thelatest phenom; Ben Johnson completed third for associate mentor of the year; and Pittsburgh’s Cameron Heyward came in second to Frank Ragnow for Man of the Year.
Campbell led the Lions to a franchise-record 14 victories, but he received only three first-place votes and finished with 33 points overall, well behind Cleveland’s Kevin Stefanski and Houston’s Demeco Ryans, who were tied for coach of the year with 165 points each and were in a tie for second place. Stefanski acquired the honor since he got one extra ahead of everyone else vote, denoting the nearest vote ever.
No Lions mentor has won the honor since Wayne Fontes in 1991, the main other time the Lions have dominated 12 matches in a season.
Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, the weighty number one for hostile thelatest phenom, took off with that honor. He procured 48 of a potential 50 in front of the pack casts a ballot and got done with 246 focuses generally speaking. Rams beneficiary Puka Nacua acquired the other in front of the pack casts a ballot and completed second with 154 places, while LaPorta (40 focuses) and Gibbs (four focuses) were distant the speed.
Ben Johnson was a finalist for partner mentor of the year briefly straight season, yet came up short indeed, this time completing behind Browns cautious organizer Jim Schwartz – – the previous Lions lead trainer – – and Ravens guarded facilitator Mike Macdonald.
Despite the fact that the Lions did not have any finalists for defensive rookie of the year, cornerback Brian Branch received six votes for third place and linebacker Jack Campbell received one vote for second place. Houston’s Will Anderson prevailed upon the honor Jalen Carter, trailed by Kobie Turner, Devon Witherspoon, Joey Doorman, Yaya Diaby, Branch and Campbell.
