Durham 1

Calvin Johnson All-Pro FO # 1 PFF # 4. Led NFL in targets, catches and yards. Led all WR snaps.
14 drops 5 td 5 penalities
Best Lions player since Barry. We need to get him some help.

Next season:
Under contract $12.2 mil hit

Nate Burleson 27 rec 41 targets 3 drops 2 td 1 penalty.

Valuable player who can move the chains on 3rd down and make plays in the red zone. If healthy we need him back.

Next season:
Under contract $6.5 mil cap.

Titus Young 33 rec 55 targets 6 drops 3 penalty 3 total meltdowns

Really killed us this season. A selfish, immature player who can play when motivated.

Next season:
Under contract, $1.2 mil hit. Hopefully, on the couch in Compton.

Ryan Broyles 22 rec 31 targets 3 drops

His injury really finished us off. Seems like a good target underneath but his future is in doubt.

Next season:
Under contract $880,000 starts the season on PUP.

Mike Thomas 12 targets 5 rec 1 td 3 drops

acquired in a trade at midseason. He did little with ample opportunity. Not an outside receiver, must play slot. Bad trade.

Next season:
Under contract $1.45 mil. Fake reverse guy and punt returner.

Brian Robiskie 6 targets 4 rec 1 td 1 drop

Picked up off the couch in midseason. Played alright. Not a lot of burst or speed but can catch in traffic.

Next season:
under contract $715,000 4th receiver until Broyles comes back from PUP.

Kris Durham 21 targets 8 rec 1 td

Slow, tall receiver who cannot really get open. Decent hands and height.

Next season:
ERFA practice squad.

Tight Ends

Brandon Pettigrew #57 rated TE by PFF 100 targets 59 rec 18 drops 3td 2 Fumbles lost

Terrible year for Grew. Hurt a lot, dropped the ball a lot, fumbled a lot. We need him to rebound to his 2011 form.

Next season:

Under contract $3 mil  starting TE

Tony Scheffler # 32 TE 84 targets 42 rec 8 drops 1 td

Bad year for Scheff. Not on the same page with Staff much of the year. 6 interceptions were targeted to Tony.

Next Season:
Under contract: $2.5 mil back up TE.

Will Heller # 27 TE 23 targets 20 rec  1 drop

Solid year for Heller. Likely the slowest TE in the NFL and a decent blocker. He stays healthy and does not fumble.

Next season:
Free agent. Resign for veterans min.

Shaun Chapas 15 snaps 2 targets 1 cactch 6 yard 1 Blown ACL

Stafford roommate was promoted for three games. Got hurt.

Next season:
ERFA, Practice squad.
