The Detroit Lions haven’t had a defense to write home about in years—not since the vaunted 2014 defense was wreaking havoc in backfields week after week, led by the likes of Ndamukong Suh, Nick Fairley, and Ezekiel Ansah.
Of course, the commonality among those names is where they lined up together on a football field. Detroit’s defense line, even after applying the franchise tag to the aforementioned Ansah and adding Sylvester Williams in free agency, is in dire need of adding an impact player in this year’s draft.
