Youth is the name of the game for the Detroit Lions safeties. The Lions have used a third-round pick on the position in back-to-back years, and now the Lions enter 2020 with two starting safeties at the ages of 24 and 25.
But the safety position is a coveted one by the Lions and beyond Tracy Walker and Will Harris, Detroit is lacking both bodies and talent. So while most of the offseason attention is surrounding the cornerbacks (and understandably so), don’t sleep on safety as a significant need in this secondary.
