Who doesn’t love a good reunion story? When Jalen Reeves-Maybin left the Lions after the 2021 season, that felt like it was it for that story. Then after a year with the Texans, he came back to Detroit and had an All-Pro season and made his first Pro Bowl too.
Graham Glasgow also went away for a while and then came back and had one of the best seasons in his career.
