Earlier this week, I discussed the understated kick return battle that would be happening in next month’s training camp. I ultimately concluded that, like the punt return position, third-year Detroit Lions defensive back Jamal Agnew should be considered the front runner for the job.
But I dropped a little bit of doubt in there, too. Unlike last year, the Lions suddenly have a lot of options at the nickel corner position, and although Agnew got first-team reps during minicamp while starter Justin Coleman sat out of team drills, that doesn’t mean all that much at this point in the offseason.
