Martin Mayhew is trying to lead the Detroit Lions to a rebound from their 2012 season in which they struggled after reaching the 2011 NFL Playoffs.

"I'm going to let last season be last season and this season be this season," Mayhew said Tuesday morning, his first public comments since after the draft. "We've moved forward.

"We learned a lot from last year, and we're going to take those lessons into this season and have a more successful season."

The Lions went 4-12 last season.

"I am certainly going to work as hard as I can to keep my seat cool."

The Detroit Lions have signed Chaz Schilens to a one-year contract.

Schilens has 100 catches over five NFL seasons.

Schilens spent last season with the New York Jets, catching 28 balls for 289 yards.

Schilens spent the previous four seasons with the Oakland Raiders where he had injury issues.

The Seattle Seahawks have the most talent in the NFL of players 25-and-under.

The Houston Texans were ranked first in 2010, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had the distinction in 2011 and the New England Patriots last season.

The Seahawks feature Russell Wilson, Russell Okung, Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor.

The San Francisco 49ers rank second with Colin Kaepernick and Aldson Smith headlining.

The Cincinnati Bengals, Washington Redskins and Green Bay Packers round out the top-five.

Best has been limited to 22 games due to continued concussion symptoms.

Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has agreed to a three-year contract extension that is worth $53M in new money, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Ed Werder on Tuesday.
