Every year, there seems to be a name or two that makes the Detroit Lions’ initial 53-man roster that surprises even the most keen-eyed beat writer. Today, I will try to identify six players who could be that guy when Detroit finalizes their roster by the Tuesday 4 p.m. ET cutoff.
This isn’t a list of players I think will make the roster. In fact, I had all six of these players listed as “OUT” in our latest Bubble Watch post. Instead, this is a list of players who are right on the edge of making the roster and could be one of those surprise names that end up making it.
