The interior of Detroit’s defensive line looked like the weakest point on the roster entering the 2018 season, but by the end of the year it looked like its greatest strength. The acquisition of Damon Harrison Sr. midway through the year was a huge boost for one of the league’s worst run defenses. Rookie Da’Shawn Hand moving inside after spending much of his college career on the edge was a revelation. A’Shawn Robinson was a healthy scratch to start the season but developed into a staunch run defender in his own right.
Detroit still needs depth at the position, though.
