The Detroit Lions have one of the most potent offensive attacks in the NFL thanks to the way the roster has been built out by the front office.
As Lions fans know as well as anyone else, offensive success begins at quarterback, and Detroit has its man under center in Jared Goff. High-level quarterback play opens up the door for skill position players to do what they do best: go out and make plays, and that is what Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Sam LaPorta have done with Goff leading the charge.
With all of that being said, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that one NFL veteran believes the Lions own the top skill position group in the entire league. The fact that he has a history in Detroit only backs up his claim about this Lions duo.
Former Lions WR Allen Robinson Clearly Wants Detroit's Attention with Latest Comments
Allen Robinson was a member of Detroit's roster this past season, so he knows just how dangerous a duo that St. Brown and Williams can be whenever they are on the field. With that firsthand knowledge, Robinson went on ESPN's NFL Live on Wednesday and ranked his best receiver duos in the league entering the 2025 campaign.
Naturally, the former Lions wideout sided with Detroit's top receiving options when detailing his list and backed his selection up with reasoning that even the harshest critic of the Lions can't debate.

"The only group on this list to have two 1,000-yard receivers last season. We know what Amon-Ra St. Brown can do. He's been prolific his entire career. But, also, Jameson Williams, 58 catches for over 1,000 yards last year. There's not too many people who are doing that in this league," Robinson stated.
It's hard to refute Robinson's point, considering that he had a front-row ticket to the St. Brown-Williams experience last season. The former Penn State product didn't contribute much to the Lions' aerial success, though, as he converted three catches into only 30 receiving yards in 12 appearances.
While the man calling the plays for Detroit in recent years has moved on to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears, this Lions offense is a threat to the rest of the league, regardless of which team employs Ben Johnson. Robinson knows that, and it like won't take the rest of the NFL long to realize the same thing.
