Biggest Disappointment – Ryan Broyles (12 points)
After an offseason in which the Lions brought in Reggie Bush, but no receiving threat to line up opposite Calvin Johnson, it seemed clear that the Lions believed Ryan Broyles was a long-term solution at wide receiver. Returning from his second ACL tear in as many seasons, Broyles was brought back slow and forced into action due to injury. Broyles managed to haul in just 8 catches before suffering a season-ending tear in his Achilles, leaving serious questions about his future.
Honorable Mentions – Chris Houston (8 points), Nick Fairley (8 points)
Others receiving votes – Brandon Pettigrew (5 points), Darius Slay (4 points), Tony Scheffler (4 points), Jason Fox (4 points), Mikel Leshoure (3 points), Patrick Edwards (3 points), Bill Bentley (2 points), Michael Spurlock (1 point)
