The Detroit Lions’ 53-man roster dropped late on Tuesday evening, and there are some big surprises and odd-looking developments. If you want a full look at the roster, head to our tracker or our initial post on the news.

21 offensive players and 29 defensive players!
When I made my roster prediction, I thought it was a little weird going with 27 defenders to 23 on offense.
