  "summary": "Three writers tied for the best Detroit Lions 53-man roster prediction, each correctly predicting 49 of the 53 players. Erik Schlitt of Pride of Detroit, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, and Don Drysdale of Detroit Sports Nation all achieved an impressive 92.45% accuracy rate. Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press finished second with 90.57% accuracy, followed by Adam Stark. The three tied writers missed the same four players: Greg Dortch, Tyler Conklin, Chris Smith, and Nick Whiteside. Notably, none of the 11 writers projected Jabari Small to make the initial roster, making him the player with the most surprising retention.",
