It reflects the limitations that playing in a lesser media market can have on a player’s brand: by now, you’d think Megatron would be a nationally known star. On the field, he’s arguably the best receiver in the NFL. Last season he earned $25 million and this coming season, paired with rookie tight end Eric Ebron, the Lions may prove to be a well-oiled scoring machine.
