ESPN - Scouts Inc.: Team WR rankings (1-10) - NFL (http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/insider/news/story?id=2921051&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fnfl %2finsider%2fnews%2fstory%3fid%3d2921051)


Is it too early to rank the Lions' wide receivers among the best in the business? Absolutely not. Calvin Johnson (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=8256) is just that good of a prospect. He is a rookie and surely will have some growing pains as all newcomers do, but Johnson is a superstar without physical weaknesses. He will get by on hard work and talent alone this year, and then be among the top players at the position in the next few years. Roy Williams (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=6766) is an out-of-this world athlete who is quickly becoming a complete receiver. Williams is already among the better players at his position and defenses will have a brutal time producing a game plan against this duo. Mike Furrey (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=6612) is solid and should do a great job in the slot and as the No. 3 receiver. QB Jon Kitna (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?statsId=4157) is a lucky man.

Just until they notice that noone on the line is capable of blocking for our quarterback. Which happened about 14 years ago I believe.
