The Detroit Lions drafted four players on Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft, and they moved up to acquire three of them. The latest move saw the Lions make a trade with the Houston Texans to draft defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo from LSU with pick No. 189 in the sixth round.
Wingo wore the notorious No. 18 at LSU, a number assigned to a player who best represents LSU on and off the field, and brings the energy and competitive level of his teammates up. Littered with positive intangibles, Wingo has a winning mentality and will bring a strong level of leadership to the organization.
