Our 2017 roster review will reexamine the Lions’ roster and how it played out last season. We’ll take a look at expectations, performance and potential role in the future.
Today, we continue our discussion with Detroit Lions safety Tavon Wilson.
Tavon Wilson
Expectations before 2017
Though Wilson was the starter in 2016, the general perception of the veteran safety was that he would slowly fade out of the primary role as youngster Miles Killebrew would take over his role as the year went on.
But when the Lions allowed Rafael Bush to hit free agency and failed to really bring in any competition, it was clear Wilson would have, at the very least, a situational role with the Lions defense in 2017.
