The Detroit Lions have a couple young linebackers in Jarrad Davis and Jalen Reeves-Maybin they should be excited about.
Davis, the team’s first-round pick last year, led all rookies and first-year players with 96 tackles starting Day 1 at the MIKE.
Reeves-Maybin, a fourth-round selection, saw his reps steadily increase as the season progressed. He plans to hit the weight room hard this offseason to add more muscle and strength to his frame to go along with the terrific speed and instincts he possesses.
Detroit’s leading tackler last season, veteran Tahir Whitehead, is an unrestricted free agent.
