The Detroit Lions, for better or worse, are full of surprises.
A winless season was a surprise in 2008.
Promoting people in the organization as a response to that season (Martin Mayhew, Tom Lewand)? Surprise.
Beating a Super Bowl team (Packers) with a third-string quarterback (Drew Stanton) two years later was also a surprise.
Becoming a playoff team and producing a 5,000-yard passer (Matthew Stafford) in his first full NFL season, a mere three years after a winless season? Huge surprise.
Having a rookie All-Pro defensive tackle (Ndamukong Suh) fall mostly off the map because of a combination of physical and personal (sometimes both) issues? Surprising.
So, if there's one thing you can't say about the Lions, it's that they're predictable—even when you want them to be. That goes for the team as a whole as well as individual players, and it's not likely to stop this year.
The 2012 season is only three months away, and we all know exactly what to expect this season, right? Of course not, and if you say you do, you're either a pundit or a liar.
That said, I'm now going to tell you what to expect next season. Make your own decisions about which category I fall into.
Here are the eight Detroit Lions who could betray our expectations in 2012.
