2021 Detroit Lions roster preview: Is Taylor Decker a top-10 left tackle?

Taylor Decker’s career with the Detroit Lions hasn’t been an easy one. While the 2016 first-round pick splashed onto the scene with an impressive rookie season after being immediately thrust into the left tackle position, in his follow-up season, he tore his labrum causing him to miss half the season. When he returned in 2018, he didn’t quite look himself, leading some to worry that he may never be the player the Lions saw in college and that rookie season again.

But over the past two years, Decker has regained his mojo and been one of the team’s most steady and dependable players.
